Washington, DC 20016

Elegant, historic home in the heart of the Palisades. Nestled on a side street of this walkable, welcoming neighborhood, this house radiates charm from the wide front porch to a top-and-bottom deck overlooking an expansive back yard. Interior highlights include original features like high ceilings, heart of pine floors, extensive wall molding, and cozy radiators. From the front foyer the entry hall branches into a formal dining room, through pocket doors into a kitchen with granite countertops and ample cooking and storage space, into an airy family room with built-in bookshelves framing a pocket-sized reading nook. The upper level spreads out across 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, including a spacious master suite with a walk-in closet and a roomy master bath with aerated tub, separate shower, and double vanity. Downstairs, the lower level is a large work and/or play space, complete with a utility/laundry room, full bath, and French doors opening to a covered flagstone terrace, a wooded and perennial-embellished back yard, and an "as-is" gardening shed/detached garage with access to the alley. Mere blocks from the newly refurbished Carolina Park and the Capital Crescent Trail connecting Georgetown and Bethesda, a brief walk from the Potomac River and a string of local favorite restaurants, and a short drive to plentiful options for shopping ranging from coffee and groceries to hardware and antiques, this home truly has it all in one of DC's most desirable neighborhoods.
