This Washington Post and Urban Turf favorite will leave you enchanted!
Welcome to a one-of-a-kind rare treasure located in sought after Wesley Heights: an absolute “urban castle” with no detail spared. This picturesque Normandy cottage boasts an approx. 7500 sq. ft. flat premium deep lot, Ludowici clay tile roof, stone and brick exterior framed with copper gutters, and hand-hewn windows.
Built by artist Martha Moffett Bache and designed by celebrated architect V. T. H. Bien, this home has all the charm you ever imagined, with four spacious bright bedrooms and 3.5 beautifully updated bathrooms.
The master suite is a delight with thoughtful details around every corner, large, renovated bathroom and built in walk-in closet. Perfect for family living, this home is windows, storage and closets galore. The deceptively generous size interior contains original wooden floors throughout, spacious private dining room with a cove ceiling and wainscoting; bright living room with copper framed fireplace, Tudor-style beamed ceiling and Dutch door to the garden; and a fully updated eat in kitchen. It also features hand crafted original windows, built-ins including cedar closets, and charming period details such as a front door speakeasy window, laundry chute, and telephone bench. A fully renovated walk out basement features a large family room, new modern second kitchen, bedroom, full bath, laundry, storage room / fifth room, and more.
Beautifully landscaped gardens enclose an entirely private backyard with mature plantings, flagstone paths and patio, border gardens and wrought iron gates all behind trellised privacy fencing and fully irrigated with a top-of-the-line sprinkler system.
Outstanding location - across the street from top-rated Horace Mann school and minutes from elite DMV privates. On the bus line direct to Tenleytown Metro, walking distance to Starbucks, Walgreens, Chef Geoffs and more. Close proximity to key points in Dc, Maryland and Virginia.
Do not miss this unique home and an exceptional chance to own a slice of DC history!
