This beautifully-designed and well-maintained semi-detached home with attached garage in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in the District has been fully renovated to provide the perfect confluence of modern style and classic architecture. A quaint, covered front porch, perfect for a peaceful start to the morning or a relaxing end to the evening, welcomes you from the walk through the professionally-designed, manicured front lawn. A side-set, arched front door leads to the well-lit foyer and opens to the warmth of the living room with a corner gas-fireplace. Classic, oak hardwood floors run throughout the main level and through the passage, flanked by a powder room and staircase access to the lower level, from the living room to the open-concept kitchen and dining area. The professionally designed kitchen features an intentionality and vibrancy. Deep, honed granite countertops are complimented by a stunning, ceramic-tiled backsplash, wood-grained drawers and shelving, shaker cabinets with traditional and windowed facings, and stainless-steel appliances from Miele and Subzero. Murano, blown-glass pendant lights offer a splash of style over the abundant, kitchen island. Adjacent to the refrigerator is a custom-made, pull-out pantry organizer with a matching steel finish. French doors from the kitchen lead to the perfect bi-level, outdoor dining and entertainment area, surrounded by lush garden beds and landscape lighting. Stained, wooden planked fencing create a cozy, low profile enclosure, while a steel-posted staircase with open cable rails keeps the space open within. Trex decking and expertly laid stone pavers allow for durability and easy walkability. Whether an intimate dinner on the upper level or a garden party on both levels, this exceptional space provides just the right environment. Hardwood floors continue from the main to the upper level, which features a king-size primary bedroom with two directions of natural light and en suite bath. Two separate closets, extending the length of a wall have optimal organizers for tidying belongings. The fully renovated primary bath features a walk-in shower with glass enclosure and is adorned with a chic mosaic of ceramic tile shapes and colors. The full, hall bathroom showcases an exceptional, unique renovation with modern and original finishes and fixtures. The second bedroom offers ample space with fantastic natural light. The third bedroom, currently set as an office and library, also has two different window directions and can easily fit a queen bed with common bedroom furniture. The pitched roof line of this home allows for a great amount of attic storage for seasonal uses and memorable or notable treasures. An in-law garden suite on the lower level offers a front and back entry, abundant natural light, along with interior access to the attached garage and additional driveway parking space. An intuitively, updated full bath, a full kitchen and a large living area, currently set as the ultimate recreation and entertainment space (but can easily be converted to include a basement bedroom or office), shows the diversity of use for this part of the home. A corner gas-fireplace adds to the comfort and utility of this level. With proximity to Cleveland Park, Woodley Park, Rock Creek Park walking and biking trails, the National Zoo, and many other treasures in this special enclave of northwest DC, this home offers the dream turnkey for DC living.
