This exceptionally fine and rare example of the Tudor Revival style is one of but a few extant in Washington in such a fine degree of preservation. It was built in 1928 and is evocative of the work of architect Sir Edwin L. Luytens, who borrowed extensively from the English country house traditions and the Arts and Crafts movement in England. Sited on a superb lot and framed by a series of perennial hedges, shrubs and mature trees, one is at once in the country, yet only moments to Connecticut Avenue or the Rock Creek Parkway. Continuing the sensibility of a country house is the flagstone terrace and spectacular garden, which creates a magnificent private space for entertaining. An original two-story brick outbuilding sits at the end of the garden that might be a used as a studio or separate dwelling.
