Description:

This gracious Georgian Colonial is ideally situated on a generous .23-acre flat corner lot, on one of the most desirable streets in the nation's capital. Mature rows of boxwoods surround the facade, which is set back from the street, providing privacy and impressive curb appeal. Originally built in 1946, the house has undergone extensive renovations with the highest quality fixtures and finishes throughout. The residence offers rooms which flow for elegant entertaining and large spaces for comfortable family living, all of which are filled with an abundance of natural sunlight. The gracious foyer is flanked by a study and formal living room, each with welcoming fireplaces. The circular flow to the rear of the house provides seamless transition to the main living spaces. The sophisticated dining room is beautifully scaled with French doors opening onto the rear private garden. Adjacent is the well-appointed chef's kitchen with premium countertops, Zub-Zero refrigerator, custom cabinetry, and large, sun-filled windows. There is also a large paneled family room/library on this floor with walls of windows overlooking a koi pond, as well as the added convenience of an attractive marble powder room. A lovely staircase leads to the second level, which offers four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The luxurious primary suite expansively covers the width of the house and overlooks the rear yard and gardens. It offers deep closets, and an en-suite bathroom with dual marble vanities, and a frameless glass shower. All of the additional bedrooms on this floor are spacious and all bathrooms have been beautifully updated. The third floor serves as an additional bedroom suite with a luxurious bathroom and ample closets.
