About This Home

As of February 2025

Spanning over 5,100 square feet, this elegant home blends classic architecture with a modern aesthetic and conveniences. Bathed in natural light from 80 windows, 21 glass exterior doors, and 14 skylights, the sun-drenched living spaces and thoughtfully designed floorplan offer seamless flow and sightlines between generously proportioned rooms. High ceilings, crown molding, wainscoting, warm hardwood floors, built-in audio, and heated floors enhance the refined interior. The main level offers a welcoming foyer, two fireplaces, formal living and dining rooms, a grand south-facing sunroom, and a chef’s kitchen with professional-grade appliances and a marble island, flowing into a skylit family room. Upstairs, the primary suite is a luxurious nearly 900-square-foot retreat with a skylit marble bath, walk-in closet, and private office with a relaxing media room. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, with another full bath completing the floor. The sunny third level features panoramic views, a versatile bedroom, and sitting areas with an en-suite bath, including access to a serene rooftop retreat. The lower level has a private walkway and entrance and includes a fifth bedroom, full bath, and a sunny recreation room that opens onto a flagstone patio. Laundry areas on three floors, four HVAC systems, and cast-iron baseboard radiant heat add to the comfort and convenience of this home. This home boasts superb indoor-outdoor flow, with numerous hardscaped patios and lush gardens framed by exquisite mature plantings. A detached two-car garage, 16-zone sprinkler system, and a brand-new slate roof complete the package. Located on a lush, quiet corner lot in Observatory Circle, this home is within walking distance to top schools, parks, grocery stores such as Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, restaurants, and fitness studios like Orange Theory and CorePower Yoga. It is also ideally situated near Rock Creek Park, Embassies, The White House, Capitol Hill, and downtown Washington, DC. This is a home without compromise.
