If only there was any technology to tell us these things.


To be fair, she is using technology to ask. She's not in the same room with any of us, I assume


Geez- calm down. If you don't know the answer, just say so. I ask because I actually did google the address and google maps labels that exact part of Lowell as 'Palisades' yet many here on pg. 1 were calling it Kent.

Technically, Palisades in below MacArthur from Loughboro to the intersection of Foxhall and Canal roads. Above MacArthur and West of Chain Bridge Road is Kent. Above and East is Burleith.

Beige is a kind of WASP camouflage. If you wear it during a group tour, you can shout out absurd questions that no one could ever know the answer to and waste everyone's precious time. No one ever can quite make out your features with spray tan on and a beige two-set.

I don't know how anyone has the will to live in such far-flung outposts. Looks like they have to churn their own butter in the galley kitchen. It's practically a South Dakota sod house.

It has a secret room in which you can torture deans, heads of school and directors of admission until they give in to your demands.

Nope. It's inhabited by french provincial ghosts, obviously.

I'm wondering if some of the rooms are staged.

FWIW, there are a lot of colonials with similar layouts on this section of Lowell.

For me, the house is a bit off the beaten track. We live closer to Metro and more heavily used bus routes. That said, I have a number of friends in Kent and they did not move there because of their burning interest in using public transit. Either both parents work downtown and drive or just one of them. The SAHP usually drives. Again, too far for me, but works for them.

Not OP, but "preppy" has always seemed pretty dull to me.

Like this house. Meh. And I just don't see the appeal of upper NW in general, especially this outpost.

That's at 20k minimum to fix that roof. And it has no steel caging areas in the bedrooms. I don't see the point.

While it may be hard to define what a preppy house is, the cage fight house is definitely not preppy! I still wonder what the story is behind this room.
