C STREET

 

C STREET

 

Are you kidding me? You have got to be kidding me. That is the comment most often heard as one steps wide-eyed and opened-mouth onto the rooftop deck of stunning home on “C” street in Washington DC. It is difficult to wrap your head around what one is seeing.

The magic starts on the street level. A charming yard fenced with wrought iron and featuring a multi-colored Crepe Myrtle add a sense of place to the calming yet dignified blue grey façade. Double dark doors give a sense of arrival and a unique separation from the other residences on the street. The house sits well on this street of traditional DC residences and yet has a feeling of newness and freshness that elevate it from the mundane.

Clean, bright finishes are the hallmark of the interior spaces. Every detail is well throughout. From the custom rail joinery on the stairs to the intricate tile details on the smooth surfaces the attention to detail is evident. One climbs the stairs through the clean, spacious rooms and then….’Are you kidding me’ pops out of ones mouth as they climb the last few treads and emerge onto the roof desk with panoramic views of the entire neighborhood. Then, your eye locks on the view of one of the monuments on the mall and the enchainment is complete. ‘C’ street complete.
