About This Home

As of January 2025

Step into a world of refined sophistication with this exceptional property, gracefully nestled in prestigious Observatory Circle. Spanning over 5,200 square feet, this residence is a masterclass in traditional luxury and timeless charm.

From the moment you enter through the radiant spacious center staircase foyer, you are enveloped in an aura of classic elegance. The intricately crafted moldings and refined architectural details create a setting of grandeur and warmth highlighted by hardwood floors throughout. This illustrious property boasts six generously proportioned bedrooms, each with windows on two-sides with bucolic views of Washington’s idyllic mature trees, and five and a half bathrooms, ensuring comfort for every resident and guest. The large open-concept kitchen and family room addition, designed by renowned architect Don Hawkins, expands the rear of the home - ideal for both intimate gatherings and grand celebrations. The gourmet kitchen features a large center island with bar seating, two sinks, Thermador range, and views of the lush back gardens.The kitchen seamlessly flows into the bright and expansive family room showcasing floor-to-ceiling custom millwork built-in shelving. French doors invite you to unwind in the stately living room, which is accentuated by an exemplary gas fireplace and mantle. Brimming with natural light, the main level also includes a formal dining room equipped with built-in corner cabinets perfect for hosting sumptuous meals. A thoughtfully designed laundry room, a discrete half bathroom, and supplementary counter and cabinet storage lining the hallway complete this level.

The lower level offers a favorable apartment suite with a private entrance, galley kitchen with table seating, a full bathroom, and generous living space, providing a private retreat for guests or family members. An expansive storage room, as part of the addition, completes this level - offering space for decorations and larger items, or possible recreation room.

The primary suite is a haven of tranquility, featuring vaulted ceilings, a well-appointed walk-in closet and dressing room, and a private terrace where you can indulge in serene views and moments of quiet reflection. The en-suite bathroom is a sanctuary boasting a spa-like jacuzzi tub and private linen closet.

The exterior of the property is equally magnificent boasting colorful landscaping and a fully fenced-in level yard, offering an oasis of peace from every corner. The no maintenance Pro-Cell deck features thoughtful perimeter bench seating, inviting al fresco dining and leisure, while the detached garage provides ample space for storage.

This light-filled residence, with its impeccable design and eloquent details, represents the pinnacle of ideal living in Observatory Circle, offering an unparalleled blend of elegance, comfort, and prestige in one of the city's most coveted locales.
