About This Home

As of June 2025

Sited in the tranquil Forest Hills neighborhood of Washington DC, this impressive residence offers an idyllic blend of comfort, style, and convenience. Surrounded by mature trees and a lush, expansive front yard, the house welcomes you with a beautifully landscaped walkway. Inside, the gracious entry foyer has hardwood floors and a double door coat closet, setting the tone for the elegantly appointed interiors. The living room is of generous scale with four oversized windows that bathe the space in natural light, complemented by a large central fireplace with a refined wood mantel and stone surround.
The light-filled formal dining room, with its sophisticated crown moldings, flows seamlessly into a well-appointed, updated kitchen. Featuring a large center island, high-end stainless-steel appliances, two sinks, and ample cabinetry, it offers both functionality and style for everyday cooking and entertaining. Other notable features include a spacious pantry, beverage fridge, breakfast bar seating, and dishwasher. The kitchen opens to an expansive two-story family room, where floor-to-ceiling windows offer serene green views of the meticulously landscaped rear yard, and a beautiful stone wall with a wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character. The main level also hosts a desirable library/office with built-in desk, bookshelves, and cabinetry, alongside two sunny bedrooms and two full bathrooms.
The upper level is dedicated to a luxurious primary suite, complete with five oversized windows, an impressive walk-in dressing room with extensive built-ins, an additional large walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom with dual vanities, a skylight, freestanding soaking tub, and frameless glass shower. The lower level extends the living space with a sizable recreation room featuring a gas fireplace, wet bar, and wine storage, perfect for entertaining. A functional mudroom, gym, fourth bedroom, and two full bathrooms ensure comfort and convenience for residents and guests alike. The home also includes a two-car garage. Outside, the rear yard is exceptionally private, ideal for hosting gatherings with its large pool, hot tub, sundeck, multiple terrace spaces, built-in grilling station, and serene lily pond. The layered landscaping enhances the sense of privacy and tranquility, offering an extraordinary retreat within the city.
Forest Hills offers a perfect blend of suburban tranquility and city accessibility, making it a highly desirable neighborhood for those seeking a peaceful residential area within reach of urban amenities. Its tree-lined streets create a picturesque environment, while residents can take advantage of parks and cultural institutions including the Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens, and the National Zoo. The neighborhood also has close proximity to the Metro, facilitating effortless commutes to downtown DC, and top independent and public schools. This unique combination of accessibility, community, and scenic beauty makes Forest Hills an attractive place to live for those looking to enjoy all the wonderful experiences and opportunities that DC has to offer.
