Open Sunday, 4/12, from 1-4pm. Welcome to a beautifully updated, turn-key home in Observatory Circle, just steps to the iconic Washington National Cathedral. Thoughtfully designed with timeless finishes and refined detail, this residence delivers a seamless balance of elegance and everyday livability. The main level unfolds with purpose and flow. A gracious living room anchored by a custom limestone fireplace opens effortlessly to a screened porch with sliding panels, creating a true indoor-outdoor experience that adapts to every season. The formal dining room is both substantial and inviting, equally suited to daily use or larger gatherings. At the center of the home, the beautiful kitchen makes a confident statement with paneled appliances, a striking waterfall island, and updated lighting that brings a clean, modern edge. Upstairs, four en-suite bedrooms establish a sense of privacy and comfort rarely found, complemented by the ease of a second-floor laundry room. The sumptuous primary bath has been thoughtfully renovated in honed marble, with exceptional appointments and storage integrated throughout. The lower level extends the home’s flexibility with a fifth en-suite bedroom and kitchenette, ideal for guests, an au pair, or longer-term stays. The outdoor setting is as considered as the interior. A private, expansive backyard invites both quiet retreat and lively entertaining, while a detached two-car garage provides valuable parking and storage. With proximity to Rock Creek Park, neighborhood playgrounds, and the shops and dining along Wisconsin and Connecticut Avenues, this home offers a compelling combination of design, scale, and location in one of Washington’s most desirable settings.
