Friends,
Erin over at Patch has an interesting story on the updated plans for Woodmont Central. She notes that:
The Battery Lane building would be 90 feet tall with more than 90,000 square feet of commercial and retail space. Two options are being considered for development of the Rugby site – as either two 174-foot-tall, nearly 500,000 square foot buildings; or two 143-foot-tall, 408,459 square foot buildings.
More information on the proposed amendments to the Woodmont Central plan is available via the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission.

Friends,
If you know anyone who is looking for a commercial office space in Bethesda for purchase you should encourage them to pop by the Open House at 7960 Old Georgetown Road (unit 4) today between 12pm-2pm. It is a wonderful space, well suited to a small legal/medical/other professional practice.
Feel free to call me with any questions!

Matzah Brei
serves 4 people6 sheets of matzah
6 eggs
2 tbsp milk
pinch kosher salt
1 Tbsp cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
Break up the matzah in chunks, place in a bowl, cover with water. Allow to soak for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile mix up your eggs and milk, then add the salt, cinnamon, nutmeg.
Squeeze all excess water from matzah, add to egg mixture and combine.
4. Pour 2 tablespoons Kosher for Passover oil into a pan and heat over medium. Place the mixture in the preheated skillet and spread so it is evenly distributed. Allow to cook until it is browned on the bottom.
You have 2 choices for flipping. You can cut the brei into 4 pieces while it is in the skillet and flip them individually. Or you can get fancy and use a plate and invert the entire disc onto the plate and then slide it back into the pan uncooked side down. Either way, once flipped, cook until the bottom is nicely browned.
Serve with warm syrup, jam, powdered sugar, or fresh chopped fruit.

Friends,
We are going to try something new on the real estate side of the site. Each week we will showcase one Open House that you may want to visit. Please feel free to email us with suggestions over the course of the week!
First up is an Open House that I will be holding in the Brookmont neighborhood this Sunday (April 17th) from 1-4pm.
The house itself is wonderful — it is a traditional home with a contempory addition. It has 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, slate and wood floors and the most wonderful views of High Island, the Potomac and the C&O canal.
As for the community itself, well Brookmont is fabulous and is a bit of a hidden gem in the Bethesda area. The WP ran a nice feature on it some years ago (see here) that started with this wonderful line:
“Living in the Brookmont neighborhood of Bethesda and not kayaking, Bill Guerry often says, is like living in Aspen, Colo., and not knowing how to ski.”
And this portion of the article will give you a flavor of the area:
While front and back yards are small, the public space is vast. Because the neighborhood has only a single way to enter and leave, the streets are free from traffic. They are taken over instead by dog-walkers, cyclists, parents or nannies with children.
Along with the nearby C&O Canal towpath and Crescent biking trail, the neighborhood has its own playground and open field at one end, which is run by Montgomery County. A tree-lined grassy median runs the length of Broad Street, serving as front yard for the houses on that street and as a greenway for children to run from one end of the neighborhood to the other. The “Village Green” is also where many neighborhood-wide events are staged.
So if you have a little time free on Sunday to come and look at a delighful property in a super part of Bethesda, or if you or a friend or family member is looking for a new place to call home, please visit me at my Open House and please mention you saw this invite on Bethesda Actually!
PS And do not hesitate to be in contact if I can help you with any real estate matters!
