About This Property
First time on the market since 1950, and you can be only the 6th
owner since one of the Washingtons owned this part of Collingwood,
formerly River Farm. Storybook cottage in the heart of Fort Hunt
has an unassuming facade and courtyard that gives way to one of the
most spectacular gardens in the area. Featured in magazines, this
garden combines design elements and styles from England, France,
Japan, and China. It's a place where 18th Century European,
Asian, and modern-day styles blend. Within its tree walls the
garden provides year-round interest and has many unpredictable
"rooms" that reveal themselves - always something new or different
when seen from various angles; and like the passages of a human
life the paths are rarely straight. Plants bloom and change color
at various times throughout the year, so not all will be visible.
AND THE GARDEN COMES WITH THE MOST CHARMING HOUSE! Compact in size,
but large in features, this home will captivate your interest as
soon as you step into the outer vestibule. A pineapple sconce light
greets you and provides a glimpse of what's inside. Cozy
living room with fireplace, warm wood floors and unique ceiling
detail is the perfect place for relaxing and entertaining.
Adjacent country kitchen brings dining to the heart of the
home. This large space boasts a true pantry, Silestone counters,
hammered copper farm sink, and custom lighting throughout. Meal
prep, enjoyment and clean-up is a breeze. 3 bedrooms and one
renovated full bathroom occupy the main level. One of the bedrooms
has custom built-ins and functions nicely as an office. The
lower level has a mostly unfinished basement with laundry space and
second full bathroom. This level walks out to the rear of the house
by the garden patio and one of the most spectacular garden and
entertaining spaces you will ever see. Impeccably maintained, this
home has included numerous updates over the year to include
electrical, roof and systems. Just a short distance from Old
Town, the GW Parkway, the Huntington metro and other commuting
routes gives you access to all of Washington's employment and
entertainment hubs. Yet you can come home to the peace and serenity
of your own private oasis. Come visit and hear the story of 1712
Collingwood Road, and then become a part of it! Welcome home!
