Transforming a non-compliant 1,950-square-foot 1920s Washington, D.C. home into a 3,400-square-foot modern craftsman required the full depth of Moore Construction Group’s expertise. Facing strict municipal open-space rules, unexpected city administrative delays, and complex structural demands, MCG successfully executed a full gut renovation, rear addition, and basement underpin. The result is a high-performance primary residence featuring a flexible 1st-floor ensuite, an upstairs primary suite, and a fully equipped, independent basement Accessary Dwelling Unit (ADU).

Spread across four split levels, this Northern Virginia home had solid bones but lacked the open gathering space, main-floor guest accommodations, and daily storage required by a growing family of four and their pets. Moore Construction Group engineered a single-story rear addition that added nearly 1,000 square feet of light-filled living space—drastically improving the home’s flow, indoor-outdoor connectivity, and functional square footage without compromising its original exterior charm.

When these experienced homeowners purchased their 98-year-old historic Del Ray home, they had a clear vision for its transformation. However, after the original contractor failed to pull appropriate permits and delivered substandard craftsmanship, the project stalled. Moore Construction Group stepped in to perform critical structural and permit remediation, leading a seamless two-phase, interior-and-exterior overhaul that brought high-end design, code compliance, and modern functionality to a character-rich property.

Living in the neighborhood they loved, this Alexandria family had simply outgrown their space. Discover how a seamless second-story addition and rear expansion created room for culinary hobbies, private work zones, and everyday family life.
