UNIVERSITY PARK, MD
3-Level Addition Plus, Whole Home Restoration
Whole Home 1928 Restoration with 3-Level Modern Addition & 2-Car Garage w/ Western Red Cedar Fence
This residence was a joy for the team to uniquely expand. The goal was to honor the 1920’s history of the homes built in the neighborhood; yet expand for today’s need for greater functionality. What resulted is a light-filled Scandinavian-inspired retreat balanced with moody, dramatic moments. A 560-square-foot artisan oyster tile, laid piece-by-piece in herringbone on the ceiling reflects natural daylight through three French doors. The kitchen, complete with an in-wall spice shelf, is completed by full-wall Taj Mahal quartzite and the spacious island is covered by Dekton Laurent made with 4-side complete functionality given the miter-cut waterfall legs. The living room is anchored by a statement-making 2000lb cast stone fireplace crowned with leathered ice-flake quartzite. The dining room’s moody jewel-toned palette adorned with a 1920’s French-Inspired 44,000 beaded chandelier—makes this home a study in timeless luxury.
This full-scale transformation combines a whole-home renovation with a three-level modern addition, two-car garage, and elevated outdoor living. Custom stonework and a bespoke retaining wall anchor the home, while copper gutters and miter-cut white oak front columns add refined, lasting detail. The expanded driveway features ambient lighting, and a roof deck provides sophisticated outdoor gathering space. Custom outdoor cabinetry further extends functionality and style, blending seamlessly with the home’s luxurious exterior.
Inside, the residence balances light-filled Scandinavian-inspired spaces with curated moody moments. The living room is anchored by a monumental 2,000-pound cast stone fireplace crowned with leathered quartzite, while the family room and kitchen are adorned with a 560-square-foot artisan oyster tile ceiling in herringbone that reflects daylight through three floor-to-ceiling French doors. The kitchen is both elegant and functional, featuring a Taj Mahal quartzite wall, hidden spice rack, and expansive Dekton Laurent island. Warm wood tones, curated lighting, and Scandinavian-inspired finishes throughout the interiors create spaces that feel timeless, elevated, and approachable.
The owner’s suite offers a spa-like ensuite and a custom LED-lit closet for effortless organization, while dramatic accents—such as jewel-toned dining room walls and ambient lighting—add depth and personality to the home. Every element, from interior finishes to exterior architecture, reflects NGage Properties Group’s commitment to functional artistry, sophisticated craftsmanship, and creating homes that are luxurious, livable, and unmistakably tailored to the client’s lifestyle.
