This elegant Four Square home was reimagined with a refined new layout, expanded upper levels, and thoughtful details that enhance its historic charm and functionality.
This stately Four Square home, set on a prominent corner lot in Capitol Hill, has been thoughtfully reimagined to enhance light, views, and indoor-outdoor connections. While the ground floor layout remained largely intact, the kitchen was completely transformed, and a new powder room was added. A redesigned staircase now flows seamlessly through all three levels. Upstairs, a new primary suite and two additional bathrooms modernize the second floor, while a reworked roofline on the third floor increases head height, making the space more functional with the addition of a small bath and laundry. Though the basement was previously remodeled, extensive structural updates were required to support the home’s improvements. Rich in detail, the interiors feature custom touches like a bespoke pantry armoire and salvaged pocket doors sourced from the East Coast, blending timeless character with thoughtful modern updates.
