Property Description

Beautifully modernized 1923 Kent/Palisades home sits atop an elevated corner lot facing Cathedral Avenue. This turn-key home has been meticulously updated and maintained, both interior and exterior. A complete renovation in 2005 added a primary bedroom and en-suite bath, an expanded gourmet kitchen, a first floor powder room and a second living room. New HVAC, new kitchen cabinets, new appliances, a natural quartzite counter, and stunning marble herringbone backsplash among many other beautiful and practical improvements were part of the most recent renovation in 2023. Upon entering the home, you will see all the main level rooms, all well proportioned and well defined but seamlessly flowing together. Upstairs, the primary bedroom with en-suite bath provides a private treetop view, in addition to three more bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level with a large recreation room, custom storage, laundry area, a separate room that can be used as an office or for guest overflow, and a full bathroom gives the homeowners plenty of flexible space. The home's mature trees create privacy and, along with a terraced yard and professionally landscaped perennial garden, the flagstone patio offers more space to entertain. A three-car parking area adds to the ease of living in a neighborhood within walking distance to many restaurants, schools, and commercial attractions. Close to the towpath, Palisades Recreation Center, Capital Crescent Trail, and Fletcher's Boathouse, this south-facing, sun-filled home offers the best of city living while also close to nature in one of the best neighborhoods in DC. A truly special home!
