Located in the heart of one of D.C.’ s finest residential neighborhoods, this exquisitely designed home is a masterpiece of perfection! The home, which has approximately 11,800 square feet in space, boasts fine architectural features, amenities, and details throughout.

     From the front entrance of the home one enters the main level, to a beautiful marble foyer with a grand staircase, and a hallway on one side that leads to a spacious, elegant dining room, accessed by three lovely arches. The dining room has exquisite ceiling moldings and chandeliers, as well as wainscotting in a greek key design, and double glass floor-length windows overlooking the front of the home. It can seat as many as 30 guests. To the left of the marble foyer, is an equally elegant living room with a centered, white fireplace framed with marble. Lovely hardwood flooring is found throughout this level, and the rest of the home. The living room adjoins to a dark, wood-paneled library on the back side of the home, that shares a fireplace wall with a beautiful family room, opposite. The library has built-in bookshelves and a window seat that overlooks the back yard. There are two French doors that open on either side of the fireplace, into the spacious family room. The family room features a lovely white ceiling with a design, and on the back wall, has large windows with glass doors that exit outside to one of two upper balcony terraces. It is also adjoined to the dining room on the front. From the dining room, there is a short hallway that takes one into a butler’s pantry, and leads back from there to a fabulous, gourmet kitchen. The kitchen features beautiful white, WoodMode cabinetry, a center granite island countertop with a large breakfast bar, as well as state-of-the-art appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate breakfast room which also has a small fireplace, and windows that overlook both the back and side of the home. In between the breakfast room and the kitchen area is a second staircase that has an elegant, curved bannister, which takes one to the upper two levels of the home, from here.

    On the first upper level, there are four bedrooms each with its own full bath. The master bedroom at the top of the stairs, has one of two outdoor balconies and features its own beautiful, His & Her walk-in dressing closets, as well as a master bath with a whirlpool tub and steam shower. From the balconies, one can look out over an expansive wooded hillside lot, with views of the Washington Monument, and the National Cathedral.

    On the top floor there is a nanny suite and a spacious children’s playroom with alcove windows that have window seats. On the first lower level, there are two additional bedrooms and baths, as well. The home has a total of seven bedrooms and eight full baths, as well as two half-baths, on its five levels.

     Below the main level, are two lower levels that provide many amenities for entertaining. These include a catering kitchen, and a second family room with an adjoining media room, on the first lower level. Located below this, is another full level that boasts an exercise room; a wine cellar and a fully equipped wet bar with dishwasher and other serving features; a sauna and separate steam shower, as well as an additional party room that exits outside to the fabulous, “infinity” pool and terrace in the back. From the first lower level there is also an exit to an outdoor, lower terrace with a covered roof, that has steps and a walkway that lead down to the pool deck. The two upper level, covered terrace balconies can be seen from the back of the home and the pool area. One can also enter on the first lower level, from the driveway, where there are two hallways—one with servants quarters (two bedrooms and baths, as well as a laundry room); and a main hallway with coat racks and closet space. There is also an elevator which can be taken between all of the floors.

     Beautifully appointed, this in-town mansion is just minutes from Georgetown and downtown Washington, D.C. with its fine arts performances, museums, dining, and other cultural opportunities. The home has been designed specifically for large-scale entertaining, and would make an excellent embassy residence or other, for the discriminating buyer.
