3235 Macomb St NW

Cleveland Park, Washington, DC 20008

3235 Macomb Street, designed by architects Rodier & Kundzin, and built in 1924 by the Washington-area developer Oliver & Green, makes answering the question more difficult. It does no justice to reduce its description to its three bedrooms and three baths, as that would ignore the soul that is inherent to the charm of this home. The present house retains a lot of its original qualities, but has been modernized with efficient features like new windows, central A/C and a fully-owned solar array. The home, however, has not deviated from the architectural values that were imbued in the property by its constructors. The rear yard is magical and features "the ravine" that runs through Cleveland Park - a bucolic creek and mature vegetation. This is a truly "happy home" and the future owners will be not just its occupants, but its next stewards.
