1734 Irving Street NW
Tudors can be identified by their fairy-tale cottage looks, and This Week’s Find is a Mount Pleasant home of that type that looks straight out of a Hans Christian Andersen tale. You can almost imagine Hansel and Gretel strolling up to the home’s stone facade and dark trim borders.
In 2007, the current owners bought the 1927-built home from a diplomat and his wife who had lived there for more than 50 years.The old owners hadn’t done much updating (they still had an icebox), so the buyers went at it, maintaining the dark-wood trim and the glass-paned doors but installing a new HVAC system, renovating the kitchen and bathrooms, and building a deck in back.
The house has many unusual usable spaces; there is a climate-controlled home office in the garage, an au pair suite downstairs, and a variety of comfortable seating areas throughout the main floor. The third bedroom could be a nursery or office, and windows make up large portions of the back wall of the house, leading out to the private back patio.
