About This Home
As of August 2024This stunning residence, nestled in the sought-after Georgetown Foxhall Village/Palisades neighborhood of DC, stands as a testament to the visionary genius of world-renowned architect Dr. Djanghuir Darvish. Originally a humble shack owned by a prominent TV journalist, Dr. Darvish transformed it into an iconic contemporary masterpiece that has served as his personal sanctuary for decades. Employing a blend of artistic flair and structural innovation, he fashioned a home where every curve and angle evokes awe and admiration.
Constructed with enduring materials, including solid steel beams, this home is built to withstand the test of time. Thermopaned windows bathe the interior in natural light while preserving privacy, offering unrestricted views of the surroundings. Entering through the architecturally intriguing portico, guests are greeted by a polished granite foyer, thoughtfully designed for accessibility.
The heart of the home unfolds into a breathtaking space adorned with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, inviting the outside world in. A grand granite staircase, reminiscent of a shell's interior, leads to a landing area ideal for socializing. The living room, marked by recessed lighting and elegant columns, exudes grace and sophistication. A formal dining room, bathed in natural light, beckons to the left, while the adjacent gourmet kitchen boasts top-of-the-line amenities and bespoke craftsmanship.
Ascending to the next level, a spacious landing offers respite, featuring Plexiglass panels that enhance the sense of openness. The primary suite, a haven of luxury, boasts architectural details, three walk-in closets, and a spa-like bathroom with indulgent amenities. Additional bedrooms, including an ensuite, offer comfort and privacy.
A pull-down staircase grants access to the flat roof, where panoramic views await, perfect for enjoying fireworks or simply soaking in the surroundings. Custom touches abound throughout, from the doors to the lighting fixtures, ensuring a truly one-of-a-kind living experience.
Conveniently located near prestigious institutions and amenities, including Georgetown University and Medstar Georgetown Hospital, this home offers unparalleled accessibility to the best that DC has to offer. With a one-car garage and ample driveway parking, this property is a rare find in the city.
Welcome to a home that is as extraordinary as it is unique—a masterpiece crafted with passion and precision, destined to captivate discerning buyers seeking the ultimate in custom luxury living.
