Cleveland Avenue’s Oldest Abode
This Spanish-style house was the first to be constructed on Cleveland Avenue in Northwest DC and is a rare example of that architectural style in the city. From the large covered porch at the entrance and exposed beams throughout the interior to the multi-level backyard with decoratively-tiled pool and hot tub, the house is full of character. While the master bedroom features an attached sunroom that can double as an office, expansive built-in shelving lines a wall in the basement to create a library area. The house also boasts garden views of the grounds of the Finnish Embassy.

Living Large in Chevy Chase Village
Just across Western Avenue, this Chevy Chase Village colonial has a much larger interior feel than its exterior or square footage tally suggests. A double-wide bay window floods the living room with light and adds a feeling of expansiveness to the master bedroom. Additional bays on the front and side of the house add space to other bedrooms above the wrap-around porch below, which leads to a deck and a backyard pool.

Sitting on a corner lot, the house sports an abundance of oversized windows that give it a striking appearance from both the exterior and the interior.
