Washington Post House of the Week 

This Charles Goodman-designed mid-century modern home was transformed into a 4 bed/2 full bath modernist paradise with Poggenpohl kitchen with Bosch appliances. Extensive hardscaping takes advantage of the heavily wooded, rolling land of Hammond Wood, a National Register of Historic Places-Designated neighborhood of 58 homes.

The now 1,863 square-foot home was slightly expanded to accommodate a larger kitchen with beautiful custom Poggenpohl cabinetry. The detailed renovation includes all new windows (fitted into restored Goodman window frames), new flooring, custom millwork, molding, trim, new doors, and solid ash cabinetry in the fully renovated bathrooms. A custom mud/storage area was created in the reconfigured entrance.

The exterior was enhanced with all new siding, new patio areas (one with wood-burning fireplace), and improved drainage and landscaping. Other improvements include new mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. The main level features the open kitchen-dining-living space, two bedrooms and one bathroom. Goodman’s signature large fireplace anchors one end of the open living space while the new kitchen anchors the other.

In addition to the Poggenpohl cabinets, the kitchen features a Caesarstone countertop with L-shaped bar for entertaining and custom ash shelves. While keeping the original footprint intact, the lower level was completely rethought, creating two legal bedrooms and the second full bathroom and one dedicated utility, laundry room and storage area.
