Listing in Rare Form proudly presents a glorious opportunity for owner occupants or investors in Kenwood, the Colonial Club of 1924.

Mr. McClellan served as a mentor to our entrance into the investment property landscape. Mark’s story runs deep as the owner occupier of Kenwood duplexes his entire adult life. This Sheridan duplex has been in the care of McClellan for over 25 years. Executing a main floor addition, kitchen remodel with Choice Wood Co. in 2006, Mark was intending to file condominium association documents like many of the buildings with this level of locational scarcity were all converted to condos long ago. The building has had caretaker like stewards, the main floor tenants have been in the building for nearly 10 years, a testament to the quality of life in this pocket of Isles.

the Kenwood colonial club of 1924, an immense scaled surviving duplex that is priced to move at only 100 over tax value. While nearly all of the colonial era examples in Kenwood Isles of this scale have been converted to condos, the ‘Colonial Club’ represents a surviving original up/down duplex nestled along the sleepy western corridor of Kenwood.

Prior owners resided in building for over 50 years & current owner restored building over the last 30 years:

Re-Dashed stucco on entire exterior replaced front door and sidelights
New Paver Patios and concrete flatwork
New Slant Fin Boilers and water heaters
New Electrical service underground to updated panels
dedicated laundry in basement for each unit
revented and insulated attic with fiberglass blown-in

The Colonial Club is the style of building we love to tackle, as the prior owner spent a considerable amount of time and money doing mostly structural items, leaving the instant gratification items for the next owner.

the main floor unit lives like a house with i-beam kitchen addition & finished lower level with double egress, the owner executed a sprawling social kitchen and mudroom, this was accomplished with the floorpan by essentially eliminating the smallest bedroom and adding on to the back of the structure, which you can see the membraned roof of the addition from the second floor. (this is the blueprint for framing the upper unit, as the footings will accommodate building over the addition when the upper unit is considered for revival)

Choice Wood co. installed custom white oak cabinetry kitchen and mudroom in addition space. The resulting floorpan is very livable for the modern family with three private bedrooms and multiple common living areas with great flow indoors and out.

main floor original dining is used as a second living room with the dining in new kitchen

both units have in wall hutches original to 1924

main floor mudroom rear entry off the patio

the upper level kitchen was slightly modified to add a dishwasher, out the window on the east wall you can see the main floor addition, a replica floorpan would be possible in the upper unit by framing over the lower level and bringing the third bedroom into the space or leaving it three beds would make for an T shaped kitchen floorplan, either way plenty of options exist to bring the upper unit to a Kenwood level of interior.
