This unconventional property consists of two buildings. The well-maintained main house is an 1882 Aesthetic Period Victorian updated in the 1960s with many original details preserved, including woodwork, plaster moldings and medallions, and gasoliers. There are three wood-burning fireplaces. There are two separate heating and cooling systems. The rear building faces south over North Carolina Avenue. It consists of two stories over a garage with a wide driveway. It was built in the 1970s. The two buildings are connected by an enclosed passageway at the 2nd floor level. The rear building has 2.5 baths and a separate rooftop heating and air conditioning system. The architect for the renovation of the classic Aesthetic Period house and for the newer rear building was well-known Washington architect Claughton West. West's refined approach resulted in the preservation of antique woodwork, plaster moldings and medallions, brass door hardware, and gasoliers. More recent updates include the basement family room and a heat pump/electric HVAC system servicing the second floor of the main building.
