HOUSE OF THE WEEK | The four-bedroom, three-bathroom, 3,600-square-foot co-op apartment was once a restaurant. It was converted to an apartment in 2007. It is the largest apartment at the complex.
This apartment was originally a restaurant in the main building. The Tilden Gardens Cafe opened its doors in 1929. Judith and Milton Viorst reviewed it in their 1970 guide to Washington’s better restaurants: “If your definition of gourmet foods includes a beautiful pot roast or a homemade custard pie … then you’ll be thoroughly impressed with the splendid selection of high-quality dishes available at this restaurant.
Rupp and O’Bryon undertook an extensive renovation. They installed hardwood floors, a gas fireplace and octagonal skylights in the main room. They added a library, a fourth bedroom and laundry facilities. They redid the kitchen and enlarged the bedroom windows. They also added a private patio. Carp had negotiated the right to build the patio but never got around to it. “The prior owner, the fellow who did the conversion, he was quite smart,” Rupp said.Not only did they have their own private outdoor space, but they also had Tilden Gardens’ extensive lawn.
