1625 Upshur Street NW

This block has a dignity and rhythm which is seldom achieved. A series of Colonial Revivals on both sides of the street evokes the high quality of pre-war building traditions for which Crestwood is known. A deft hand and sensible spirit were responsible for creating a modest, yet handsome residence whose comfort and style are not immediately discernible from its restrained facade. The current owners were careful to maintain the soul of the original house while undertaking a number of improvements that increased the overall functionality of the systems. The first floor offers a traditional floor plan comprising a living room with wood-burning fireplace, sunroom, kitchen, separate dining room, and powder room. The large and level garden is accessible from the kitchen, as well as a detached garage at the back of the lot. Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms are found on the second level, along with a second sunroom. A fully finished third floor can be used as a home office or fourth bedroom. The lower level is also fully finished, comprising a family room with fireplace, bedroom, full bathroom, separate laundry, and storage.
