COMPELLING 5BR / 3BA townhome in historic Woodley Park, meticulously renovated to add a modern sensibility to the classic architecture of legendary builder Harry Wardman. The sun-lit upper level features a luxurious, spa-inspired master suite, as well as two additional bedrooms, a guest bath, and a loft-like landing with pocket door that can create a flexible office/virtual-learning space or an optional 4th bedroom. A custom renovation by boutique architect Fowlkes Studio includes skylights, jetted tub, recessed lighting, modern floor-to-ceiling closets, and custom-fabricated steel windows and rails that create beautiful lines against hardwood floors and painted brick. The ground floor features an elegant living and dining room, and a newly renovated kitchen with gas range, quartz countertops, and stainless appliances. A garden-facing room can serve as a breakfast room, an office, or additional common space, and a rear-entrance mudroom provides a seamless transition area for coats and shoes. The newly-renovated basement level has its own front entrance and offers a generous living/entertaining area with a quartz kitchenette/wet bar. It also features a full bedroom and bath, a front room that can serve as a private office or sixth bedroom, and laundry room. The front porch and a shaded backyard with built-in fire pit and slate hardscaping are perfect for your morning coffee, an afternoon read or outdoor entertaining. The property includes a detached, 2-car garage with private alley entrance. Tree-lined streets put you steps away from the Rock Creek Park and its 32 miles of hiking and biking trails. Within blocks are the National Zoo and multiple playgrounds (Woodley Park, Adams Mill, Kalorama). For commuters the Metro is two blocks away, and easy access to Rock Creek Parkway can mean a 5-minute drive to Virginia and 15 minutes to National Airport. Eclectic entertainment and dining options include Connecticut Ave and Adams Morgan. Ideally located in the Oyster/Adams Bi-lingual School district and close to many top private schools. With its unmatched combination of central location, greenspace, and accessibility, this is the one you've been waiting for! www.bit.ly/2216cathedral
