Description
Perched on a high, lush and supremely private 9,000+ SF corner lot, this property has undergone...Some people wait years to find the ideal spot on Potomac Avenue in Northwest DC with breathtaking western sunset views overlooking the Potomac River. Fortunately, the meticulous preparation and planning has already been done, and THE DC DREAM team has been assembled to reimagine this iconic property on coveted Potomac Avenue: Award-winning Thomson & Cooke Architects, Scribe Development and WT Construction.
Perched on a high, lush and supremely private 9,000+ SF corner lot, this property has undergone a thoughtful, custom renovation to deliver 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths in the impressive main residence.
The hallmark of this sought-after team is to bring truly special properties back to life with meticulous attention to detail - signature finishes, custom cabinetry, hand-crafted tile, and bespoke design selections.
The wraparound front porch beckons you in with a feeling of genteel hospitality. Once across the threshold, you enter the ample foyer and take in the space and the floor plan and an ideal flow for how we live and work today -- with windows on all sides that take advantage of the natural light and flood the space throughout the day. The main level can accommodate grand entertaining but is also perfect for intimate and informal gatherings. The open, white and airy kitchen is the heart of the home with island seating for four, a cheery custom bay window with built-in seating for daily dining, gourmet appliances and ample counter space with two sinks - one overlooks the lush and private rear yard with a terrace and in-ground pool. The formal living room with a cozy fireplace and a natural stone hearth overlooks the front porch and the front room with a striking oversized picture window can be used an office, sitting room or a magical location for a grand piano. The charming wallpapered powder room in the hallway leads to the large family room, adjacent to the formal dining room with plenty of room for seating 10-12 diners.
The second floor has two bedrooms and an airy and bright full bath as well as the primary retreat with a bay-windowed seating area to enjoy your morning coffee and views of the river, stunning marble bathroom with a freestanding tub, double sinks, a separate W/C, and a huge custom, walk-in closet with laundry. The third floor has two additional bedrooms and a full bath -- enjoy special treehouse views and panoramic vistas of the river and beyond out the front window.
The lower level delivers so much more living space -- a huge family room, wet bar and separate space for a wine cellar/collection, a nook for dining or games, a full bath and a large laundry room. The attached one-car garage has extra storage for bikes, kayaks, hockey gear -- and a mudroom zone.
The rear yard is a true private and serene oasis -- with mature landscaping and custom hardscaping surrounding the pool, a magical place to entertain, dine al fresco and enjoy warm nights from fall to summer.
The location is ideal -- easily accessible to numerous major commuter routes (Chain Bridge, Clara Barton Pwky, 495, I-66, downtown DC and Northern Virginia). Nearby to the award-winning dining and shoppig favorites like Et Voila, Black Coffee, Lupo Verde, Claudio's Table, and Black Salt and Addy Bassin's wine shop to name a few.
Amazing proximity to the Palisades Recreation Center, Battery Kemble Park, the weekly farmers market, tennis and basketball courts - as well as paces to the year-round natural beauty of the Capital Crescent Trail and the C&O towpath for biking, hiking, walking and kayaking.
Welcome Home to this rare offering -- a once in a lifetime home that seamlessly blends modern upgrades with vintage detailing, charm and history all overlooking the Potomac River.
