This is from the Mt. Vernon Triangle neighborhood. I’m a huge fan of the window that stick out the side like this. It’s pretty rare to find ’em like this.

These homes are all located next to each other on the 500 block of U Street, NW. I’m not sure when they were built/renovated but they all seem in really good condition. I’m wondering which style you like best and, if possible, if you think they fit well with each other?

There have been a lot of beautiful houses posted this week. But I haven’t lost my love for the simple beauty either. This house was found in Georgetown. Is the siding wood?

I thought this carriage house was pretty interesting. Perhaps it’s not a proper carriage house but just a converted garage. I like the dormers and thought it was pretty funny that a garage (right hand side of photo) was added to what I think was originally a garage… You like the look?
This back of a rowhouse is super fresh. I dig the back deck, second story balcony and you can see the edge of a roof deck. Nice. Here’s another one with some interesting circular decks a few houses down:

This house has some seriously insane details. It’s from the Kalorama neighborhood. Funny thing about a house this nice is the couple of window a/c units you can see. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything against a/c window units, hell I have some, but on a house this nice…

I’m not sure exactly how “new” this home is but I’m guessing it’s relatively new. I found it in Glover Park on the 3800 block of Fulton Street, NW. I know folks aren’t huge fans of garages and curb cuts but I think it’s interesting how it lines up with the windows above. What do you think – thumbs up or down?

There were some pretty dope ones by Sheridan Circle.
I guess the whole front is pretty amazing:

Last week when I put a best spot for a morning cup of coffee post up a commenter said the whole house was awesome. Indeed it is another beauty from the 100 block of U Street in the Bloomingdale neighborhood. I really can’t figure out why I didn’t take photos of the whole house before. I suspect my mom was not 100% truthful when she said I was never dropped on my head as a baby…
But you can see the details are spectacular:

Here’s a cool split one from LeDroit Park. I think I like the one on the left better. Do you think this was one huge house back in the day?
