Crestwood was developed during three periods in the 20 th century, discernible in the architectural styles found throughout the neighborhood. The northern section consists of rowhouses that were built by real estate speculators around World War I, sometimes referred to as “Wardman style,” although the prolific developer Harry Wardman never worked in Crestwood. The geographic center of the neighborhood was developed primarily by the firm of Stone, Lord and Caldwell from the 1930s –1950s and represents the bulk of historical styles, notably Tudor and Colonial Revivals. The final phase of development occurred in the 1960s, during which most of the streamlined and modernist houses were built, frequently referred to as “mid-century modern.” Argyle Terrace is a ribbon-like street that runs along a north-south axis. It cuts a swath through the neighborhood, dividing it into separate entities. To its west is an enclave of modernist homes that were constructed primarily in the 1960s, much in the manner of celebrated developer Joseph Eichler in California. To the east, one finds the wide-ranging cohort of historical styles for which Crestwood used to be best-known. A new era of understanding and interest in the houses constructed in the modernist idiom has emerged. Larger rooms, higher ceilings, substantial lots, and more significant window arrangements are what one finds. Dilan Homes has masterfully re-interpreted this property which offers more than 3,500 square feet of living space on a large and gracious lot. A great deal of thought was given to maintaining the overall feeling of the original house in the process of outfitting the interior in a luxurious and elegant manner. Four levels offer an open kitchen, a living room, five bedrooms (two of which are primary suites), four bathrooms, a powder room, a den, and a two-car garage. The den connects to a deck with an outdoor kitchen which provides access to the yard. The garden level offers a walk-out family room as well as a vast storage room that could be outfitted as a media room, home gym, or any other unique purpose. The garden was inspired by the late Edo period in Japan, with rocks and stones of various sizes and color, creating a contemporary feeling in the front and side yards. The rear garden has offers a large lawn to be used in a more traditional way.
