4504 Blagden Ave NW

One of Crestwood’s most admired features is the rich array of architectural styles found throughout the neighborhood. While most of the houses south of Blagden Avenue are historical revivals that were built in the two decades prior to World War II, the residences on Blagden Avenue and to its north were primarily constructed during the early 1960s. These solid and elegant brick houses comprise an important part of the range styles that populated the post-war building boom. Dilan Homes is well represented in Crestwood and this project shares the quality design and construction of its predecessors. The modernist essence of the house was maintained while the interior was completed renovated with more contemporary appeal. This was accomplished through the introduction of more generous windows, an improved floor plan, and providing better access to the outdoor space. The first floor offers a bedroom with ensuite bathroom, family room, office, powder room, and laundry/mudroom. The primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a second bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and a large living and dining room are all found on the second floor. The living space and kitchen both open onto the terrace. The yard is among the largest in the neighborhood and offers an opportunity to create a truly sumptuous garden. The house is a short walk to Rock Creek Park and is only minutes from downtown DC. In the last few years, several interesting and charming restaurants and cafés have been established on 14th Street, which is also only a few minutes’ drive away.
