The Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries was all about prioritizing the handmade over the mass production that came with the Industrial Revolution. That ethos is at the heart of one charming abode in D.C.

Built in 1916, the three-story Craftsman home is located on Cleveland Park’s storied Lowell Street, where several homes by prominent architects, like B. Frank Meyers and A.E. Landvoigt, stand side-by-side. It was originally built as a classic American foursquare but was thoughtfully updated in 2023, with local firm Collen Healy Architecture adding modern touches throughout. Lynley Ogilvie Landscape Design revamped the grounds at the same time, planting a lush meadow by the swimming pool. 

Set on a double lot measuring nearly half an acre, the main house and the detached garage and pool house are surrounded by sunlit gardens and tall mature trees that double as a privacy buffer. Eight bedrooms and seven full bathrooms are spread across nearly 7,000 square feet of stylish interiors, alongside a vaulted sunroom, a mirrored gym, and a recreation room with a wet bar.

A historic sleeping porch leads directly into the open-plan main level. Nine-foot ceilings and skylights create a light, airy feel that is juxtaposed by the rich wood paneling, exposed beams, and hardwood floors throughout. A fireplace-warmed living room sits opposite a study that leads to a family room. Further in lies a joint kitchen and dining area with 10-foot sliding doors that open to a screened porch.

The original three-story staircase flows up to a primary suite with a stone-crafted fireplace, an expansive bathroom, and a large walk-in closet. Two other bedrooms and dual sitting rooms with vaulted ceilings are located on the second level, while three more bedrooms, an office, and a sunroom are positioned on the third floor. The lower level, meanwhile, features a bedroom, an in-law suite with a kitchenette, a fully equipped gym, and a multipurpose recreation room.

Outside, a secluded courtyard separates the main home from the detached garage and pool house with guest suite above, and manicured hedges frame the heated pool and outdoor living areas. Further afield lie Rock Creek Park and the Smithsonian’s National Zoo.

Property records show the residence last sold for $4.5 million. It’s now available for $10.99 million with Daniel Heider of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty.
