About this home
Single Family · Built 1930 · Historic
Special opportunity to create your dream home in Spring Valley! This lovely 1930's home is set atop a nearly .6 acre double lot on Rockwood Parkway in the prestigious Spring Valley neighborhood of Upper Northwest. This gracious stone and wood colonial home offers its next owner a prime setting amidst other large estates and embassy residences. With 5 bedrooms, 5 1/2 bathrooms and nearly 6000 square feet of living area, this home provides ample space for entertaining both indoors and out! The large entry leads to a sunken formal sitting room with large window seat, detailed paneling and wood fireplace. It connects to the flagstone patio and side yard through a sunroom-complete with a built in bar- a wonderful space for al fresco dining and entertaining! The formal dining room off the foyer leads to the sunlit breakfast room and large kitchen. Upstairs, halfway up, there is a sitting room with vaulted ceiling and fireplace, which would make a wonderful family room or large home office. The upper landing leads to the primary suite, which includes a wood fireplace, large custom closet and primary bath. The two secondary bedrooms on this level both have their own full baths (one en suite) and cedar closets. On the third level are two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level provides ample storage, two walk in cedar closets, a full bath, laundry and a recreation room. With room for pool, this large property is someone’s forever home in the heart of Washington DC! Just miles from the White House and downtown, and only minutes to Millie’s, Compass Coffee, Pizzeria Paradiso, Bluestone Lane and all the shops at Spring Valley, this lovely home is not to be missed!
