About this House

The Tudor Revival movement in American architecture traces its roots back to the early 19th century in England and found its greatest popularity in the early 20th century in the United States. One of the greatest advocates for this style was Sir Edwin Luytens, architect of numerous English country houses as well as the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. His unique interpretation, which is found in virtually every part of the country, features a dark recessed entryway, a liberal application of vernacular details, and a confident massing. This c. 1926 semi-detached has been freed from the restrictions of its time and has been given a completely new interior identity. A respectful approach to renovating this home was taken by Dilan Homes, a 2025 recipient of the prestigious John Russell Pope Award from the Washington Mid Atlantic Chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art. They are responsible for a similarly fine and worthy renovation of this residence’s handsome companion. The first floor offers and open living area adjacent to the dining area with the kitchen opening onto the garden via two sets of French doors. A completely flexible floor plan, a discretely sited coat closet and powder room, all function in unison to create a space that is logical and comfortable. The second floor comprises the primary bedroom with walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom. The suite faces south to allow for maximum natural light. The second and third bedrooms are spacious and both access a secondary bathroom. This floor also has laundry. The lower level offers a large media room as well as a bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry. A staircase at the back of the space provides access to the garden. The garden offers a generous terrace, numerous planting beds with mature trees and flowering shrubs, as well as access to a one-car garage.

    "I’ve loved living here. I’ve been here 2 years and it’s been great. It can be a little bit more expensive than other areas, but this neighborhood is worth it. I moved here right out of college without a great job, but even when I was tight, I appreciated the proximity to Rock Creek, great affordable restaurants, and the metro. "

    "Lived here for 5-6 years - it’s the cleanest, most “neighborhood” type place in dc. You walk to the bank and they know your name... everything is on one block - drug store, pet store, restaurants, cleaners, grocery store, bank, liquor store, clothing shops, coffee shops, bike shop etc. lots of trees and relatively zero crime. It’s a very clean cut part of dc tons of dog parks, parks, schools, trails, jungle gyms, etc. this neighborhood is bad for only two reasons - one it’s extremely gentrified - two it makes all other neighborhoods seem inadequate in convenience and cleanliness "
