OPEN SATURDAY AND SUNDAY 6/11 & 6/12, 1-3PMA rare Capitol Hill Classic! Grand, yet comfortable. Updated, yet timeless. Quality craftsmanship and a curator’s eye are evident throughout this peerless home. The beautifully and lushly landscaped wrap-around garden suggests a secret Shangri-La, hidden in plain sight! Soaring 12’ ceilings embellished by beautiful plaster moulding. Mellow wood floors. Entertain effortlessly whether it’s an intimate dinner party or an indoor / outdoor gathering for a hundred people. The screened porch off of the clubby sitting room at the rear of the house is straight from the pages of Veranda magazine. If there’s a more pleasant place on the Hill to while away a summer afternoon with friends sipping iced tea, then we haven’t seen it! The family chef(s) will delight in the layout and space to be found in the kitchen, complete with a butler’s pantry. At the end of the day, retreat to the second floor, with bedrooms aplenty. The front bedroom boasts an oversized east-facing bay window and elegant fireplace. The two middle bedrooms share a delightful side porch overlooking the garden. The rear bedroom abuts a spa-like bathroom. The lower level has been renovated as a guest suite or gathering room with a side entrance, full bathroom and laundry room. Plentiful additional storage included. This is clearly a home full of fond memories past, present and still to come.
