About this home
Custom built in 1946 for the publisher of The Washington Evening Star, this gracious manor home is ideally situated on a generous .23-acre flat corner lot, on one of the most desirable streets in the nation's capital. The first owners were founders of DC's Garden Club, and this property was featured regularly on dignitary tours. Rare garden specimens are still in place, and mature rows of boxwoods surround the facade, which is set back from the street, providing privacy and impressive curb appeal. This property holds a notable historical provenance that includes welcoming US presidents, British royals and international luminaries. The home 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, Sub-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. The lower level of the residence has a large recreation room with a wet bar, custom built-ins and a wood-burning fireplace. It adjoins a lower level fitness room, which could serve as an additional bedroom. This level also offers a full bathroom, a spacious laundry room with utility sink and storage. There is access from the lower level to the large two-car garage, with additional space for bikes and gear. The exterior of the property has been expanded to include a flagstone terrace with an outdoor fireplace and multiple entertaining areas. Located just minutes from Georgetown, Virginia, and Maryland, as well as easy access to all area airports, this home is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved and extensively updated architectural gem in one of Washington’s most sought-after neighborhoods....
