1344 Jefferson St NW, Washington, DC 20011

Located one block off of 14th Street, this residence was designed in one of the more popular styles of architecture in the United States. In the first two decades of the 20th century, there was a proliferation of historical revival styles especially the Tudor. This style was built in virtually every American city from Augusta to Anchorage and it is one of the few styles that convey the aspirations of a growing middle class as capably as this one. Built in 1922, this handsome house is set in what feels like a small community of its own. A quiet, tree-lined street is an effective barrier from the small amount of vehicular traffic, generated almost exclusively by other local homeowners. A large front lawn provides a welcoming entrance to a home which is much larger than it appears. The public rooms occupy the main floor which include a large living with wood-burning fireplace, a dining room, a renovated kitchen, a sunroom, and a powder room. The second floor offers a substantial primary suite with custom closets, a renovated en suite bathroom, and an additional walk-in closet. Two more bedrooms and another renovated bathroom are found on this floor as well. The lower level offers the convenience of a completely outfitted living space with one bedroom, full bathroom, kitchenette, family room, laundry, and storage. The rear garden provides a generous landscape, patio, and opportunity to entertain in virtually every season of the year. An original detached garage provides a secure space for parking as well as for additional storage.
