2022 R Street NW

In This Week’s Find, we take a look at a home whose layout reaches into the house next door.

A little over 40 years ago, the row house at 2022 R Street NW was combined with the adjacent address to create one large mansion. In the 80’s, the homes were divided up again, but 2022 retained something extra: the second floor of both properties that makes for a living room 33-feet wide.

Potomac Construction Group undertook a comprehensive renovation of the house in 2011, putting in new mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, adding bathrooms and reconfiguring the kitchen. Before that, the house had an eccentric, eighties style, with tiered levels and columns accenting the rooms. Apparently, at the time it belonged to new age author John Nesbitt.

The newly renovated home has a few cool features, like a master bathroom with a multi-head shower and an extra deep bathtub, a rooftop porch that looks out onto Kalorama, and a third-floor perch with many built-ins (perfect for an office).
