Built in the early 1950s, this small urban townhouse is located in North Old Town Alexandria in an area currently undergoing major redevelopment. The neighborhood is popular with, and affordable for, young people and families, and very convenient to Washington, DC.
In its heyday, the townhouse touted a stately brick exterior, plaster walls, tongue and groove wood flooring and beautiful wooden staircase. Sixty years later, however, the homeowners were faced with crumbling masonry, sagging floors, a double layer of wallpaper over the plaster walls, a crumbling staircase, a dysfunctional kitchen and small, dark second floor rooms. Additionally, the basement had a low ceiling, moldy and cinder block walls, no plumbing and a large boiler taking up most of the space.
The homeowners’ goal was to restore the exterior’s historic look while creating an interior up-to-date for the 21st Century. To turn their vision into reality, they turned to Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes.
Design Solutions
To maintain the townhome’s historic exterior, the Michael Nash team carefully removed, salvaged, restored and reused existing brick masonry. Matching fascia boards and windows were combined with existing windows to complete the exterior renovation.
All interior walls were gutted and reframed. New electrical work, new insulation and new drywall were installed. Much of the home’s original trim was salvaged and reused, as was a piece of art glass, all to keep a bit of the past in the renovation.
The sagging subfloors were fixed, new hard wood floors were installed and a new staircase and railing were designed in a style similar to the original.
The solid wall between the kitchen and the dining room was removed, plumbing was relocated for a new sink location and the kitchen got expanded with an island into the dining room. Closet and plumbing stacks were relocated to allow a new space for fridge. Stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and custom cabinetry highlight the new modern kitchen.
The plan called for redesigning the three bedrooms on the second floor to allow a larger bathroom, walk-in closet and wider hallways. In addition to new roofing, a large skylight was installed to allow natural light into the bathroom and the upper hallway.
The basement was totally revamped. New plumbing was put in place for a full bathroom, laundry room and a den. New e-grass window was installed in the basement to bring this basement up to current building codes.
This homeowners love the neighborhood and now their home gives them the opportunity to stay in the same location.

This Bathroom and Closet renovation was envisioned as a serene retreat that balances functionality with a sense of luxury. The design emphasizes clean lines, layered textures, and a soft, neutral palette, creating a calm and timeless atmosphere. Modern detailing, paired with warm finishes, transforms the space into both a personal spa and a highly efficient dressing area.

Mevrou, erected in 1922, was a Landmark Structure which over time had seen many additions and renovations. The design process began by peeling away the layers and uncovering the original footprint. The small front staircase located to the north and right off the main entry became an interesting challenge to work through as its location, while original to the structure, was not ideal. The original 1922 structure dictated the scale of the addition, telling the story from the outside and guiding the interior flow. Beginning from the west living room wall, the new design created the dining, kitchen, and family room areas that more naturally lead into the rest of the home. The composition resulted in Mevrou being composed of two volumes: a strong, single form of concrete plastered walls remaining from the original more formal structure, contrasted by the exposed brick form of the new addition. The contrast of original and new structure continues to tell Mevrou’s long story on the interiors as well, displaying beautiful exposed brick and plank boards. The new fireplace mantel was designed based on the original doors Mevrou once sported in 1922 paying homage to the details lost during its lifetime of renovations.

Decorate your living space with an exceptional area rug that brings both elegance and comfort to your home. Rugs are fundamental in interior design, providing not only visual appeal but also warmth and texture to any room. Whether you're enhancing a cozy living room or adding a sophisticated touch to your bedroom, selecting the right rug can profoundly impact your home’s ambiance.
When considering living room rugs, you have a multitude of options to choose from. For expansive spaces, oversized rugs or large carpets are perfect for creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. These substantial pieces can anchor a room, offering both style and function. Opting for a huge carpet for the living room adds a layer of luxury and comfort, making your space feel more grand and sumptuous.
For a more customized touch, explore large living room carpet rugs. These generously sized rugs provide extensive coverage and are ideal for adding a plush, cushioned feel to your floor. The scale of these rugs makes them perfect for enhancing the comfort and visual interest of larger rooms, creating a welcoming environment for relaxation and social gatherings.
In addition to traditional living room options, consider floor carpets and mats for the kitchen. These practical yet stylish additions can infuse your kitchen with warmth and coziness. Kitchen mats, in particular, are designed to handle spills and stains, ensuring they remain both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
When selecting rugs, pay attention to the material and maintenance needs. For high-traffic areas like the living room, durability and ease of cleaning are key. Look for rugs with stain-resistant properties or those that are machine washable to ensure they stay looking fresh. Non-slip or adhesive backings are also important, particularly for hardwood or tile floors, to prevent slips and ensure stability.
Additionally, consider the comfort factor. Cushioned rugs can enhance the overall feel of your space, making it more inviting and enjoyable. Personalized or custom rugs allow you to select specific designs, colors, and sizes that perfectly match your decor and preferences. An 8x10 rug, for example, offers ample coverage for larger rooms and adds versatility to your decorating options.
A well-chosen rug is not just a decorative element but also a practical investment in your home’s comfort and style. Whether you’re choosing a large rug for a spacious living room, a floor carpet for the kitchen, or a big carpet to make a bold statement, the right rug can transform your living environment into a stylish and comfortable retreat. Discover a variety of styles, materials, and sizes to find the ideal rug that complements your decor and enhances the functionality of your space.

By removing many of the interior walls, we are able to make a small house appear larger than it is. We "layer" the space, always keeping in mind the views. Every vantage point has a Foreground ( the Dining Room), a Mid-Ground (the Family Room), and a Background (the rear yard)
