1400 Roxanna Rd NW Washington, DC 20012

Welcome to 1400 Roxanna Road NW in the sought-after Shepherd Park neighborhood of Washington DC. This grand scale mid-century rambler offers the coveted combination of size, location, condition, style and smart home features that are often so difficult to find in one home. With this home, there is no need to compromise. You can have it all.

Built in 1956, this brick, updated home offers two beautifully appointed levels with a combined total of over 4600sf. From the gracious entry foyer, you will immediately realize this is not your typical, cramped rambler. The proportions, layout and flow are exceptional.

The main level features large living and dining rooms, a separate office/den with double pocket French doors, an updated table space kitchen with granite, stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinetry. From the kitchen, there is a lovely and large sun room/family room that has huge windows on 3 sides for great natural light and overlooks the deck and garden, offering a perfect flow for indoor/outdoor entertaining.

In the separate bedroom wing on this level, there is a large primary suite with an en suite renovated full bath with a separate shower and soaking tub and large walk in closet, along with two additional large bedrooms and a renovated full hall bath. A full attic with a fixed full-sized walk-up stairs offers ample additional storage, and potential for future expansion.

The lower level offers so much additional, flexible space, with huge rooms and ample storage. First, a large family room/rec room is found at the bottom of the stairs and features engineered wide plank wood floors, a super cool industrial loft-style exposed rafter ceiling, large windows, a built in wet bar with beverage fridge, and an exterior door to a large patio. An additional bedroom and renovated full bath are also on this level and are perfect for guests. A HUGE (not an exaggeration) bonus room offers infinite use options (e.g., extra-large play room, game room, home gym, movie theatre, or more). A big utility/laundry room and access to the extra-large one-car garage round out this level.

Not just beautiful, this home is smart too. With an owned solar panel system, ample power is produced to result in incredibly low power bills, as well as generate some additional income from the sale of the "SRECs." A NEST thermostat, additional attic insulation, and a 2nd stage efficient air handler add to the home’s efficiency. A large capacity electric generator with a transfer switch to continue to power critical elements in the event of a loss of power (refrigerator, sump pump, etc.) conveys with the home, as does the 50-amp car charger in the garage. With critical improvements to infrastructure, including structural improvements, waterproofing improvements, and a new roof in 2017, there will be peace of mind for years to come.

Outside, the home features a stunning, professional design and installed rain garden for better water management, along with a new deck, flagstone patio, and wood fencing to create a serene oasis (2019).

This home is superbly located: Currently in bounds to Shepherd ES, Deal MS, and Wilson HS. Close to DCI, the charter high school. Moments away from Downtown Silver Spring (including Metro) and the redeveloped Walter Reed Campus. Major commuter routes are quickly accessible, and Rock Creek Park is only a few blocks away.

Truly a rare offering, not to be missed.
