OPEN SUNDAY 3/17 (2-4)This gem of a home is the epitome of American Traditional Style; it is to "Traditional Home Magazine" what Roche Bobois is to contemporary interior design. The home at 2246 is set back from the street among tall trees, shrubs and garden beds of a landscape designed by Florence Everts, a well-known, well-regarded Washington Landscape Architect. The home's compelling custom portico accents it's facade and shelters its wide deep porch that allows for private outdoor spaces that accommodate small gatherings such as al Fresco diners. Major renovation projects have been the hallmarks of the home's history. Making the most of the wooded parkland setting, it's dramatic sunset views, and abundant bird and wildlife populations, the home's owners planned their renovations around both function and aesthetics. Renovation projects would frequently involve exterior hardscape such as flagstone terraces and walkways, development of the middle yeard and driveway replacement.Behind the home's welcoming front facade lies an impeccable interior of full architectural and decorative delights: high ceilings with recessed lighting and decorative trims, polished hardwood floors, an elegant gas fireplace and custom mantel with Jerusalem limestone hearth and surround, custom millwork throughout, and so many examples of creative, sophisticated and tasteful special features.
