This gorgeous stone and stucco Georgian beauty is in the best location in Cleveland Park and one of the neighborhood's landmark properties.  Its stately exterior suggests visions of Washington's grandeur at the turn of the 20th Century. The architectural details on its stylish exterior seem to multiply as one steps into the spacious foyer. The openness of the main level was designed for entertaining allowing visitors to flow from foyer to study to living room and settle into the airy dining room with its tall bay windows. The opportunities for entertaining in no way take away from the comfort this house provides its residents. The eat-in kitchen has a Wolf six-burner chef's stove as well as a convection oven and Subzero integrated units are strategically placed for a gourmet cook. The adjacent screened porch and stone terrace provide outdoor space for family and friends and the wrap-around porch is unequaled in Northwest Washington. The remaining space on this and other three levels provide the best in secluded master-suite living, four additional bedrooms, four bathrooms, powder room, upper level study, lower level den, recreation/exercise room, laundry room, and extensive storage throughout.

Spectacular grounds make this property an oasis. Mature hedges wrap themselves around the splendid gardens just as the house's wrap-around porch cushions the house. Spring brings the forsythia and the phenomenal weeping cherry, followed by the dogwoods and azaleas, and soon after the clematis and hydrangeas will announce summer, with the snowball viburnum and Lenten roses lingering to greet the holiday season. The driveway and an additional parking space accommodating three cars have been blended into the landscaping. Living on this lovely retreat does not mean seclusion from what the city and neighborhood have to offer. Being close to several outstanding private and public schools makes the location extremely desirable. Recent redevelopment of shops, grocery, and restaurants within walking distance also enhance the value of living here.
