What makes this a RARE pick?
Sometimes you don’t have to say much about a listing because the photos do all the talking. And in the case of this listing, there aren’t even that many photos… but you don’t need them to know that this is a one-in-a-million property, especially in DC.
Developed by Ditto, a visionary developer who has pioneered some of the most interesting and unique properties in the area over the last decade, this home was created by architect Chuong Cao and interior designer Darryl Carter. What started as a mid-block Victorian was transformed into a modern work of art with sliding walls, glass walls and floating stair treads.
But maybe you came here for the story about how I got hired by Ditto years ago… In short, I basically wrote a love letter to the Owner after obsessing over his projects for a few months and told him that while I was newer in the industry, I had a passion and drive that was unmatched… and that I was absolutely taken by his work. He kindly told me he had no positions open, and I moved on. Weeks later, he showed up to one of my open houses and politely introduced himself and I started smiling uncontrollably. I told him that we’d semi-met already… that I had written him an email stating I wanted to work for him and that he had (very nicely) told me no thanks. He laughed, checked out the open house, took my business card, and emailed me the next week to set up a time to see if there was a way we could work together. Even if the position was relatively short-lived, it was an experience that helped me grow both as a person and an Agent.
