The last of three distinct moments of residential building in Crestwood took place in the early 1960s. The two earlier periods produced a number of identifiable styles including the Wardman-style townhouse, Tudors, and Colonial Revivals. The property that was once part of Blagden Farms of the 18th century yielded its land to Blagden and Colorado Avenues, offering new architectural styles that were suited to a different way of living. This turnkey, impeccably-renovated modernist residence is perfectly suited to meet contemporary expectations. It is located close to downtown and shopping in Chevy Chase, Friendship Heights, and Silver Spring, only few blocks to the hiking trails and facilities of Rock Creek Park. Set on a wooded lot with ample outdoor space, the property offers multiple areas for working from home, including a den and sunroom. It also provides spaces where friends and family can safely gather and socialize. A spacious great room is located on the second floor, with windows offering a view of the tree canopy enveloping the neighborhood. From the dining area, there is easy access to an outdoor deck and space for a grill. The bedrooms are generous in size and offer excellent closet space. The master bedroom includes a handsomely renovated en-suite bathroom and walk-in closets. The first floor also offers a wet-bar, game room, and 100 high-definition projection screen, perfect for movie night at home. A private gym provides space for weights, a stationary bike, and elliptical. The property features a large, two-car garage wired for electrical chargers. Significant storage was created in the most useful locations. Professional landscaping and custom masonry blend in with the setting and style of the house. The current owners outfitted the entire house with the latest technology functioning as beautifully as it looks with a speaker system and ethernet jacks in many rooms. The current owners have replaced and upgraded the roof, HVAC, washer and dryer, water heater, electrical system, alarm system, and A/V wiring. The entire property is superb from every aspect.
