527 Washington Ave.

Description: New construction of a 3,249 SF two-story, single-family residential building on a vacant lot.

Previous ARC Recommendations:

03/14/23: The ARC voted to defer the application for additional review. The ARC agreed that:

• There are too many different window types on the building, and these should be simplified with the Gothic-style and arch-top window types removed.

• An additional window should be added toward the front of the building on the North elevation.

• The gable-on hip roof shown at the front and rear of the camelback should be simplified and the ARC recommended considering either a hipped or gable roof form instead.

• The side entry door is too ornate and prominent and should be refined so that it appears more as a secondary entrance to the main front entry door at the façade.

• The portion of second-floor massing above the side entry door should be pushed back a minimum of 2’-0” (or to become coplanar with the entry wall below) so the overall massing reads more as a camelback constructed to the width of the historic building from the street.
