Cleveland Park Development
This historic Cleveland Park home has housed a Georgetown Professor and a well known cartoon artist for the New Yorker and Washington Post. The front as shown here has original beautiful masonry details and a charming facade, but had not been maintained and was in ill repair when our client Hans and Ginny Wydler purchased the property. Hans Wydler is owner of one of the most successful real estate firms, Wydler Brothers and his wife Ginny loves interior design and the two decided to start a development team to create spec home developments that are finished to a very high level. They hired Ballard Mensua to help them to expand and renovate the home. We then hired Kathryn Everett as our landscape designer and Clemens Group Construction as our builder to complete the team. We believe the project to be a successful example of maintaining historic charm while adding modern amenities. Some day, we will do the same thing for Seth Ballard and his wife to move into .. it is a great house for a young family or for empty nesters who want to sell their large suburban home and move to where they can walk to restaurants and the park.
I like the slight color contrast of brick to addition
