210 CROMWELL TER NE, WASHINGTON, DC 20002

Edgewood derives its name from what was once the estate of Abraham Lincoln’s Treasury Secretary Samuel P. Chase. Divided into residential tracts during the last quarter of the 19th century, this charming spot bordering Brookland is known for its neat, even rows of townhouses. This residence claims the advantage of proximity to everything, while maintaining the feeling of being in a small town. This quiet street, being only one-block long, possesses an intimate sensibility. Originally built in 1925, the overall feeling conveyed throughout this completely renovated residence is one of quality. A thoughtful and careful reinterpretation of the entire space was carried out five years ago, yielding an attractive, spacious, and elegant interior. The main floor was conceived as an open concept to introduce as much natural light as possible. This floor offers a living room, dining room, powder room, and well-appointed kitchen which opens onto the rear deck. The deck was as handsomely executed as the rest of the house and offers an opportunity for entertaining due to its size. The design and execution of exterior space were given as much attention as the interiors instead of being treated anecdotally, as is almost always the case. The second floor comprises two bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom. Generous closet space has also been incorporated into the new floor plan. The laundry is here as well. The lower level is all finished living space with a den with kitchenette, bedroom, full bathroom, and access to parking for one car. Circumspection was exercised in carrying out the development of the lower level, which is as comfortable, organized, and as well-executed as the upper floors.
