1637 WEBSTER St NW Washington, DC 20011

This Wardman-style townhouse is one of but few in Washington in such fine condition. It was built c. 1921 and possesses details from many earlier architectural styles, especially the Federal period. Part of the rich diversity of architecture in Crestwood, this residence is a well-built early-20th-century house with a contemporary sensibility. Originally planned as part of a community of in-town estates, this house pre-dates many of its handsome neighbors, which appeared in the latter half of the 1930s when Crestwood became a noteworthy destination. One of the more important neighbors is several blocks north: White Oaks, the home of one of Washington’s most celebrated developers, Harry Wardman. One is near all of the amenities of Rock Creek Park, the National Zoo, and the Carter Barron Amphitheater. A short drive provides access to the Park View, Mount Pleasant, Adams Morgan, Logan Circle, and Shaw neighborhoods, as well as U Street and Dupont Circle. This house was treated to a very faithful restoration true to its original sensibility. The current owner retained much of the original details that came into her possession including: fine brickwork, handsome interior plaster detailing, hardwood floors, and brass door hardware. Neither lacking for space nor comfort, the interior comprises: five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a second-floor laundry, a powder room, a renovated kitchen, a breakfast room, and a spacious sunroom. In addition, there is an au-pair suite on the lower level and an attached two-car garage. While every effort was used to maintain the house’s period charm, it is not lacking for modern comforts. Full southern exposure and a generous number of windows provide for a perpetually bright interior. The exterior is equally impressive and perfectly situated for entertaining. Three separate outdoor spaces comprise a pleasantly landscaped garden. It is an opportunity for any gardener to create distinct and separate venues.
