It’s also been a while since I’ve spotted a (new to me) carriage house. Would this be considered a proper carriage house?

This was such a beautiful sight. I found it in the Woodland-Normanstone Terrace neighborhood not far from Woodley Park. I’m not sure if it is a proper carriage house. I was particularly taken with the blue roof and the extension to the main house.

I’ve never seen a carriage house with a roof like this before. It’s just off 16th St. in 16th St. Heights. Totally bad ass. Here’s the main house:

I’m not sure if this is a carriage house or garage but it’s this first one I’ve seen with a dormer. Nice stonework too…

This is the first carriage house I’ve seen that sorta has a little pop up to it. I like the angle of it and think it still looks good. You? It’s located in an alley behind New York Ave.

The photo above is what I think is new(ish) construction in Georgetown. I think the “tower” structure in the front looks good. You?
And here’s a green roof in an alley off 14th Street on a carriage house (not exactly a carriage house but I don’t what to call it…). Here’s a proper carriage house:
Personally I think green roofs are super cool:

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:

Someone suggested I check out the carriage house at the 1900 block of 3rd Street, NW. But the house itself is pretty too. Here’s the carriage house:
It’s got a sweet door too:

I’ve never seen one that had an extension like this before. Do you like the contrast or do you think it is too strong? And overall, thumbs up or down?
It’s also got a great balcony:

Oh man this was a good weekend, I got a vestibule and a carriage house! Sweet. This one is from the Bloomingdale or Le Droit Park neighborhood, can’t remember exactly where I was. It is pretty sweet though, yeah?

Even with the garbage cans you can tell how sweet this one is.

This Carriage House is located at 3640 New Hampshire Avenue, NW (in the back):
The flier says:
“Welcome to The Woodrow, this carriage house is fantastic with two master suites, one with it’s own private balcony. A renovated Carriage house is one of DC’s rare gems and this one is quite a find. Inside you will be welcomed by a distinct balance of trational and contemporary design. This home was created for entertainers, whether cocktail or dinner parties, you and your guests are home.”
More info but sadly no photos found here.
So I went inside and you’ll have to trust me on this, the place is totally redone. In my humble opinion I think it looks really nice. It’s definitely a high end renovation. The flier also says ” 2 Master Suites, Roof Deck, Private Balcony, Fire Place, and Custom Granite Bar.”
I’m also a sucker for carriage houses… But this is on the market for $499,900. Sound reasonable assuming the inside is decked out (and trust me it is)? I’m thinking even though it’s really nice that price is a bit too high for a 2 bedroom.

I know I keep saying this but this one may be my new favorite. Here’s another angle:
Pretty amazing, yeah? This is a carriage house, right? One of the bigger one’s I’ve ever seen. I guess the only drawback is that you have to live in an alley but for this one I think I could deal with that. Would you?
For the curious it’s located on Fraser Court.

I thought this one was super cool because of the unique windows.
I dare say that is dope sky. And it’s air conditioned… Ever seen windows like this before?

This carriage house has had quite the history. A few years ago it seemed to be fixed up then it seemed to have fallen in disrepair and now it looks like it’s getting fixed up again. I’ve seen workmen around the site over the past few weekends and I’m pretty sure this is a new paint job. It seems like a nice property so it’d be cool to see it back on the market.
