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.
