Wonderful curb appeal of an Arts and Craft implementation of a Tudor Revival home directly across the street from the two thousand acre Rock Creek Park. Enjoy stress-free city living just 3 miles from the White House tucked into a quiet bucolic and historic neighborhood. Walk your dog along the path Teddy Roosevelt enjoyed in Rock Creek Park, stopping at Pulpit Rock as he often did. It~s the best of both worlds in Washington DC -- 20 minutes from National Airport via Beach Drive, yet totally isolated from the noise and intrusions of living in a major city. House has been lovingly updated to provide 21st-century living while retaining the ambiance of it~s1920s heritage. The Arts and Crafts details in natural Sweet gum wood are unavailable in modern construction. Original restored windows that equal modern double pane windows in their thermal performance, but remain true to the house~s origins. Massive fully restored mantle with leaded glass doors and stone wood burning fireplace. Updated kitchen that retains an original farm sink augmented with modern Viking stove, dishwasher, and custom cabinets with room for a wine refrigerator. Custom 2nd floor window nook with built-in bookcase. New master bath with custom cherry wood double vanity, steam shower, and linen closet. Restored second-floor bath with new water supply and renovated period fixtures that preserve the arts and craft period detail of the house in a modern bath. The second floor is configured with either four separate bedrooms or two suites with private baths and sitting/dressing rooms. The third floor is a renovated stand-alone mother-in-law suite with private bath, kitchenette, sitting room, bedroom and separately zoned heating and cooling. Outdoor entertaining at it~s best with a bluestone patio, Georgetown gardens, natural gas-fired grill and wet bar with stainless steel sink with hot and cold running water.
