This c. 1926 Federal Revival was the beneficiary of a total renovation 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. While the interior has been completely reinterpreted, including the creation of a more logical room arrangement and enhancement of its already gracious proportions, the charm and dignity of the exterior has been preserved. Among the elements that were integrated by the original builder are subtle detailing in the brickwork, fine denticulation, an original pedimented portico supported by slender Doric columns and pilasters, as well as a restrained entablature. The entire composition is surmounted by three perfectly proportioned dormers which admit natural light into the third floor. The first floor offers a large entry hall, living room with fireplace, office, dining room, powder room, and carefully laid out kitchen with butler's pantry. A side porch is a welcome addition which has a view onto the rear garden. The second level has a large principal bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and generous walk-in closet, as well as two additional bedrooms each with ensuite bathroom, and laundry in the hall. The third floor is a perfect space for entertaining guests given its size and inclusion of a wet bar. It includes a a fourth bathroom and ample closet space. The lower level opens out to the rear yard and offers a spacious family room, bedroom and full bathroom, and laundry room. There is an attached two-car garage which is accessible from the lower level as well as from the garden. This residence offers a handsome facade, more than 5,100 square feet of finished living space, superb room sizes, and thoroughly considered renovations.
