Bethesda Actually

Friends,

Sorry for the short notice but wanted to make sure you were invited to a Wine and Cheese Open House in the super Brookmont neighborhood this evening from 5-7pm. The home for sale is a wonderful property that overlooks the river (address is 6424 Ridge Road, Bethesda 20816). It has 5 beds/ 4 full baths and a wonderful master-suite.

I will be there with a couple of colleagues. Pop by for a class of wine, sparkling water and cheese. You can call me at (240)486-3921 for more info.

Cheers!

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!
