3331 N Street, built between 1805 and 1820 by Colonel John Cox, is one of Georgetown’s esteemed Cox’s Row houses, showcasing exceptional Federal architecture and distinct for its setback from the street. The elegant brick façade features a dramatic severity softened by charming dormers and ornate swags in recessed panels. The 2018 renovation preserved the home's historical essence while meeting modern needs including accommodating an extensive art collection. The grand double parlor with two fireplaces boasts 14 foot ceilings. The front and rear gardens were redesigned for a harmonious relationship with the architecture. The house is comprised of three sections: a four-story main block, a two-story central block and a rear volume of one and two stories. A glass structure was added to the roof, allowing natural light to illuminate down a dramatic new central staircase, allowing natural light to illuminate the second story primary bedroom and office wing as well as the main level living and dining rooms. The project transformed the 120-foot first floor axis by opening up spaces for a more inviting flow. You can now see from end to end but the incredible kitchen can be closed off with one of two floor to ceiling glass hinged panel doors. Exterior changes included larger window openings and steel replacements for smaller wood windows, all respecting the Federal aesthetic. The outdoor area includes a sizable dining terrace with direct access to three carved out private parking spaces as well as a cupola which provides covered outdoor living space. The 2018 project team includes Robert M. Gurney Architect, Leroy Street Studio (interiors), Peterson and Collins (general contractor) and Campion Hruby Landscape Architects.
