About This Project

The 23rd Gray Bungalow Renovation & Addition is a striking transformation of a historic 1915 bungalow located in the charming neighborhood of Maywood, Arlington, VA. This ambitious project was undertaken by FitzHarris Designs to address the pressing need for modernization while preserving the home’s unique character. The original layout featured small, closed-off rooms and a cramped kitchen that hindered the flow of daily life. With over a decade spent in the home, the owner envisioned a space that not only retained its historical charm but also catered to contemporary living. The design process included a thoughtful renovation of the existing structure and the addition of a rear extension that introduced a spacious gourmet kitchen and a delightful screen porch. This new layout fosters an open connection between the kitchen and the dining room, creating an inviting social hub that enhances family gatherings and entertaining. The kitchen features custom cabinetry by Graber, which complements the home's original features while offering modern functionality. Handmade subway tiles and high-end appliances harmoniously blend style and utility. Craftsmanship is evident throughout the project, with careful attention to detail that honors the bungalow’s history. The cased opening with half columns provides a graceful transition between spaces, defining the dining area while maintaining visual continuity. The screen porch offers a serene retreat, seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor living, perfect for enjoying the neighborhood's picturesque surroundings. The completed renovation not only revitalizes the living experience within the bungalow but also respects the architectural heritage of the area, receiving the necessary approvals from the Arlington historic board, HALRB. The outcome is a beautifully modernized home that reflects the owner’s vision, embodying both elegance and practicality while celebrating the rich history of the original structure.
