Indulge in breathtaking mountain views from the heart of Altadore with these exquisite luxury fourplex residences. Nestled in this picturesque location, these small multi-residential developments, designed as rowhouses, gracefully slope down to the east and north, creating a harmonious integration with the natural landscape. A striking feature of these residences is their adaptation to the terrain, with each unit boasting unique main floor elevations, showcasing a creative and innovative approach to infill design challenges. In crafting these homes, a modern-sized length of brick was selected—specifically, the timeless Norman brick, distinguished by its beautiful, rich red hue in Hebron Garnet. The brick cladding, modest front stoops, and repeated facades suggest east coast brownstone architecture, but the tectonic massing and contemporary interior spaces reveal this design to be thoroughly modern. This deliberate choice not only contributes to the aesthetic appeal but also serves as a testament to the commitment to quality and design excellence. As you traverse 17th Street SW, this fourplex commands attention and stands as a symbol of architectural distinction.
