This Week's Find: Loft Layout Hidden in Crestwood Home
4235 Blagden Avenue NW
In an UrbanTurf profile on Crestwood earlier this week, Amanda Abrams described the housing stock of the neighborhood north of Mount Pleasant as consisting largely of brick colonials, Tudors and row homes. However, not only is This Week’s Find a fairly contemporary home in Crestwood, but the interior is reminiscent of a loft that one might find in a more urban part of town.

When the current sellers bought the property in 2005, it consisted of two apartments. The owner at the time was a chef who had created an open floor plan on the main level, and the new owners wanted to turn the property back into a single-family home without losing the open space. So, when renovations started in 2006, they remodeled the entire kitchen and the bathrooms, upgraded the plumbing and electric, and refinished the floors, but kept the main level open.
The sellers, who have moved out of DC, said that the thing they will miss most about the open main level is how great it was for entertaining.

“We would start with appetizers around the kitchen island with guests seated on bar stools so I could continue to cook dinner while we chatted and sipped wine,” the wife of the couple told UrbanTurf. “Then we would move to the far end of the room to the more formal dining area and end the evening in the middle in front of the fireplace. We love the house and really hate to sell it!”
