This charming “French Country” style home on one of Washington’s oldest historic streets has such a stunning park view, you will forget you live in the City. The first floor features a stone tiered entry foyer, with closets and powder room, and french doors opening to a large covered porch, overlooking a deep, terraced yard, and large stone patio with cascading views into the multiple levels of the deeply forested, Battery Kemble Park. To your left of the foyer is a 9-foot beamed ceiling living room with a large stone fireplace, leading to a den/study, also with fireplace and second stair to the Primary suite above. To your right is a large multi windowed dining room, overlooking trees and the park, a classic, updated kitchen with stone counters and tiled splash, and a large breakfast room with adjacent bath, mud room, and grill access. Floors, stair rails, and ceiling beams are pre-blight, “hand hewn” American Chestnut. The second floor consists of three graciously sized bedrooms, each with ensuite baths, direct, interior access to the two-car garage, and a sundeck, overlooking the park. The primary suite comprises a large bedroom with fireplace and adjacent marble bath and dressing room with heated floor. The third floor is unfinished, standing height, storage that could be dormered out for more finished space. The lower level contains a large bedroom/ study, overlooking the park, ensuite full bath, and a separate entry to the terraced garden. The lower level also includes a laundry room, wine cellar, and a substantial recreation/pool table room, with adjacent bar, and full guest bath. French doors lead to the sizeable stone patio that is perfect for large-scale entertaining. Typical of the rustic charm of some French Country style homes, the exterior features a clay tile roof, locally quarried stone and stucco wall surfaces, and multiple, terraced gardens, front and back. The chestnut-stained wooden garage and remote-controlled door, lead to a four-car, off street, “aggregate” paved parking pad with adjacent stone trash enclosure. The house was built in 1934, with multple renovations and updates by the current owner beginning in the early 2000s through 2020. The land consists of two lots totaling .56 acre, directly overlooking and adjacent to the park. A neighborhood zoning overlay prohibits over-building , and protects the park from future interruption of this pastoral paradise. NOTE: Property consists of two lots: 1427//0867 and 1427//0868 Property is shown only by appointment. Call listing agent for details.
