Michiels Architects, a boutique architecture firm headquartered in Georgetown, has masterfully transformed this c. 1932 bungalow into a fine, modern residence.Set on a spacious and verdant lot in one of the city's most dynamic neighborhoods, this house offers period charm joined with a 21st century sensibility. A welcoming front porch provides a preview of what is within, such as subtle, modern details that make it unique. The white walls and raw wood beams create a warm, but minimalist aesthetic. The floor plan is open, and feels even larger by the natural light that surrounds the main level living space. The kitchen is a focal point, and is a perfect layout for entertaining. The added convenience of a coat closet and powder room helps make the first floor function optimally.The second floor offers three bedrooms, as well as two full bathrooms. The spacious master suite has a large, open closet, which can be customized in a myriad of ways. The master bathroom is well lighted, and features a dramatically oversized shower.The lower level is spacious, open, and entirely furnished, offering any number of options including an in-law suite, game room, playroom, or media room. Also on the lower level are a full bathroom with walk-in shower, a laundry room, and extra storage space. This level walks out to the back yard from the laundry room, providing the convenience of a separate entrance.The rear garden is perfect for warm-weather entertaining. A finished deck has space for plenty of seating, and overlooks a manageably sized backyard. Behind the yard is a gravel parking pad with space for two vehicles, as well as a finished one-car garage, which can be used as additional storage.
