Set on a picturesque corner lot surrounded by mature trees and landscaping, this exquisite residence is an excellent example of American shingle style architecture—a tradition made popular by the New England School of Architecture. Blending English influences with a revived appreciation for Colonial American design, the home’s expansive shingle façade evokes the timeless character of Nantucket and Cape Cod, while offering modern comfort and sophistication in one of Washington’s most sought-after neighborhoods, Wesley Heights. The home features an elegant formal living room with high ceilings and a fireplace, a generously scaled dining room with a wet bar and additional fireplace, and an open kitchen with a breakfast area and spacious family room, perfect for family gatherings. Multiple outdoor entertaining areas are framed by lush landscaping, offering both privacy and tranquility. French doors from the living room open to the patio. A rear deck off the kitchen provides the perfect space for al fresco dining. Additionally, a third outdoor area is a generous, flat yard off the family room and kitchen. There is an additional reception area and a powder room located on this level of the residence. Windows are abundant, filling the home with natural light from all directions. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite has vaulted ceilings, a skylight, and a third fireplace. It offers a peaceful, spa-like bathroom complete with a frameless glass shower, soaking tub, and dual vanity. Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bathroom, while a generous fourth bedroom, also with a high ceiling, features its own en-suite bathroom. Laundry is conveniently located on this level. The finished lower level, with a separate entrance, includes a fifth bedroom, a full bathroom, gym area, and storage. Ideally located in one of D.C.’s most desirable neighborhoods, this home is within walking distance to Horace Mann Elementary School, American University, and the vibrant shops, restaurants, and parks along New Mexico Avenue. Enjoy convenient access to the Palisades, Glover Park, and Georgetown—all while living in a private, tree-lined enclave. This residence is a rare opportunity to own a home that combines classic American architecture with exceptional livability in a premier Washington location.
