4231 Blagden Avenue NW

Washington, DC 20011

Crestwood has essentially two separate architectural identities. It is a neighborhood generally known for its wide array of historical revival styles from the early part of the 20th century. It has recently become increasingly well-known for its mid-century modern houses and those that were constructed in a contemporary idiom in the second half of the 20th century. This residence is located in a crescent set back from Blagden Avenue that was created in 1965 as a serene enclave for but a few unique homes that all share a common spirit. Many of these properties have experienced some degree of re-interpretation over the last several decades. While this property has been completely renovated, it remains true to its original modernist sensibility. The first floor offers a spacious living room with cathedral ceilings and exposed beams to create a sense of monumentality, and a wood-burning fireplace that imbues the space with an authentically comfortable feeling. A generous dining room opens onto a balcony, and the kitchen and bathrooms have been renovated in a style keeping with the ethos of the original design. The principal bedroom includes a walk-in closet and en suite bathroom. The other two bedrooms on this floor can be used as guest space, or as a space for a home office. A second renovated bathroom on this level provides additional convenience. The walkout lower level comprises an au pair suite with a second kitchen, living room, bedroom, full bathroom, and separate utility/laundry room. The outdoor space offers a substantial deck for entertaining and a terraced garden encompassing more than a quarter-acre. This aerie-like setting, with its mature plantings and privacy, can be enjoyed in all seasons.
