3910 18TH STREET NW

WASHINGTON, DC20011

Crestwood was originally conceived as an “in-town suburb” by developer Paul Stone. Nowhere is that more apparent than in this exceedingly quiet and private corner of the neighborhood in a house of Stone’s own design. The tripartite facade is framed by engaged basket handle arches that evoke early 18th century Federal architecture. The addition of a slight and charming Ionic portico is a detail that was added by the first owner to Stone’s original design. The overall generous massing of the house attracted the attention of an affluent bourgeoisie of the 1930s, anxious to create a home in a park like setting, away from the congestion of downtown Washington, DC. The original floor plan was amended to improve the overall functionality of the space, making it feel contemporary and gracious. The first floor offers a completely renovated kitchen with breakfast room, as well as a large living room, dining room, sunroom, and powder room. Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms occupy the second floor, and the third floor provides additional storage, laundry, and a unique opportunity to transform it into a fully finished living space. The lower level offers a family room with a second kitchen, a bedroom and full bathroom, and a separate laundry. The garden is particularly lovely and serene. It is surrounded by mature plantings and offers an excellent backdrop for entertaining. A detached one-car garage in impeccable condition is also found at the back of the lot.
