About This Property
This exquisite property represents a rare opportunity to own a
piece of architectural history, meticulously enhanced with the
highest quality renovations, in one of the most prestigious
neighborhoods in the city-truly a remarkable value in luxury and
legacy. Perfectly positioned among the elite homes of Kalorama,
this residence is the embodiment of revival-style architecture at
its most refined. Inspired by the charm of Normandy and the
grandeur of English country estates designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens,
it beautifully merges steep, conical roofs with an asymmetrical
layout. Recently updated through a multi-year renovation to meet
the highest standards of quality, each enhancement preserves the
unique architectural heritage while introducing modern comforts and
efficiency. Crafted by the acclaimed architect John J. Whelan,
known for his bespoke designs of luxurious homes and embassy
residences, this property stands majestically, offering panoramic
views of the National Cathedral and the cityscape. Originally
constructed in 1927 and enveloped in Scottish brick bond, this home
has undergone a meticulous renovation while retaining its historic
allure, complete with towering chimneys and an authentic slate
roof. Beyond its exterior, the interior exudes sophistication, with
a welcoming foyer leading to a spacious living room, adorned with a
fireplace and balcony. There is a sophisticated dining room and a
recently updated gourmet kitchen with spectacular Clive Christian
cabinetry, Imperial Danby marble surfaces and floors, and
top-of-the-line appliances including Viking and Subzero. There is
also a convenient butler's pantry off the kitchen for additional
storage needs. The family space seamlessly integrates indoor and
outdoor living, with French doors leading to a private terrace
surrounded by lush landscaping, which is perfect for entertaining.
The second floor offers an expansive primary suite with two
attached, luxurious bathrooms. The walls are sumptuously
upholstered in Cowtan & Tout silk and include trim by Farrow &
Ball. The bathrooms are clad in marble, complemented with
Waterworks fixtures, and finished with the finest materials.
There is also an additional bedroom, a guest bedroom/study
with a dressing room, and an updated full bathroom found on this
floor. The third level offers two more bedrooms, an office, and an
oversized storage room with ample built-ins. Further amenities
include a fully equipped lower level, boasting a Sonos home-theater
lounge, garage, and laundry room, as well as modern conveniences
like three-zone HVAC and a comprehensive security system. Kalorama
is close to Georgetown, Rock Creek Park, museums, the Kennedy
Center, downtown DC, and Reagan National Airport. The house's
prestigious location not only ensures a distinguished provenance
but also places it in a neighborhood renowned for its historic
significance and exclusivity, which has been home to past
presidents, dignitaries, and embassies for over 100 years. This
residence offers a lifestyle of unparalleled elegance and
convenience, making this home a prized possession and a rare
opportunity.
