About This Home

As of December 2021

CLASSIC, old-world, semi-detached Tudor in prestigious Cathedral Heights features four floors of beautiful living space. This south-facing home is flooded with light and filled with highly distinguished architectural and historic details.

The home features 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a traditional main level floor plan with formal dining room, living room breakfast bar in the renovated kitchen, excellent flow for entertaining, large, stunning outdoor deck/lounging area plus outdoor patio on lower level, this beautiful home leaves nothing to be desired. There is space for 2 car parking in the back and a lovely garden surrounding the front and side of the house with a large front porch.

THE MAIN FLOOR features a gracious entrance, a large living room with fireplace and historically preserved mantle as well as crown moldings and a feeling of history throughout the home.

Two grand doors separate the spacious living room from the dining room and the cozy den right off the kitchen. The kitchen is outfitted with high end appliances and opens to the formal dining room. Large French doors lead from the kitchen to an elegant and private outdoor entertaining space with enough space for dining, lounging and entertaining.

THE UPPER LEVEL has a master bedroom with en-suite bath and 2 additional bedrooms, a hall bath and a large office space with a wall of windows and amazing light.

THE FINISHED 4TH LEVEL features a fourth large bedroom/guest room with skylight overlooking the treetops. This level has potential for two roof decks with direct views of the Cathedral and the City - ideal for entertaining or private relaxation (see neighbor’s house).

THE LOWER LEVEL consists of a separate au-pair/in-law suite with its own bedroom/family room, full bathroom, kitchenette, laundry room, a charming outdoor patio and separate storage area, all accessible from a separate entrance in the back. Parts of the unfinished lower level is currently used for storage and provides potential for expanding the in-law suite.

Within short distance to the National Cathedral and Cathedral Commons, as well as Cleveland Park and Georgetown, this gorgeous home is uniquely situated in a quiet area surrounded by mature trees and gracious residences. It is only a couple of blocks to dozens of charming restaurants, shops, gyms and specialty stores, in close proximity to the major thoroughfares in Washington DC with easy access to Reagan National Airport, the Kennedy Center, Dulles Airport, Virginia and Maryland. CITY LIVING AT IT’S BEST!
