This prime Georgetown property is situated on a beautiful, historic block in the West Village. Just steps away from M Street and close to Wisconsin Avenue, it has easy walking access to all the high-end shops and fine dining the neighborhood has to offer.
This bright, semi-detached house is the epitome of a discriminating buyer's wish list with natural light streaming in from three sides throughout the home, a two-car garage, two-level living, and architectural authenticity. Original floors, high ceilings, and lovely moldings add to the home's original character while serving as a wonderful setting for contemporary art and furniture. Tasteful renovations and updates have been thoughtfully incorporated throughout the home and include a family room overlooking the beautiful, cultivated garden that surrounds the patio and lines the walkway from the front sidewalk.
The main level opens from a covered side entrance to a generous entry hall, with coat closet, that opens to a large living room with an oversized bay window with window seat, French doors with a Juliet balcony and leaded fantail detail, built-ins, and a ventless gas fireplace with marble detailing. The formal dining room on the right of the front door features elegant details, including a built-in corner cabinet, large window, and a sizeable contemporary chandelier. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a six-burner Wolf range, a Ventahood vent, a Sub-Zero French door refrigerator/freezer, a Bosch dishwasher, an Asks dishwasher, and a Beko built-in microwave. It also has granite countertops, and a marble backsplash. The attached family room with powder room is perfect for relaxing and entertaining, with built-ins and two sets of double French doors leading to the private back garden. The garden has a herringbone brick terrace, mature plantings in raised beds including crepe myrtles and dogwood trees, and Rain Bird irrigation and Alliance exterior lighting.
Upstairs, the grand primary suite boasts multiple windows with window seats, built-ins, and closets, including a separate walk-in closet. The primary bath features dual vanity sinks, a frameless glass steam shower, and a separate soaking tub. The second bedroom, currently used as an office, has built-in shelves and an en suite half bath. The third bedroom, currently used as a beautifully designed library, has a bank of west-facing windows with a dramatic 96 panes of glass and built-in bookshelves as well as a walk-in closet. The fourth bedroom, on the corner, has built-in bookshelves, and is flooded with light from west and south-facing windows with a full bath next door. A recently renovated lower level adds a guest suite kitchenette with small refrigerator and small freezer, a full bath, a washer/dryer and laundry area with ample storage cabinets and shelves, as well as a room that can become a bedroom. Beyond the garden terrace is a full-sized, two-car garage with additional built-in storage and alley access from 34th and 35th Streets. Next to the garage is a dedicated garbage area with space for six full-sized trash cans for everyday ease separated by a gate from the patio.
Nearby Volta Park, with its pool and tennis courts, is a wonderful green space, and the house is conveniently located with easy access to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and a Safeway grocery store. The Key Bridge, Georgetown University, and both Reagan National and Dulles International Airports are easy to get to as well.
