Tucked into one of Washington DC’s most unique and private enclaves, this extensively renovatedmid-century modern retreat offers a rare opportunity to own what feels like a true treehouse in the heart of the city. Located on a quiet street of just six homes in coveted Forest Hills/Cleveland Park, directly across from the Smithsonian National Zoo and moments to Rock Creek Park, this architectural showpiece blends privacy, nature, and sophisticated entertaining in a way few Washington properties can. Surrounded by mature trees and with soaring ceilings and walls of glass, the home feels worlds away while remaining minutes to the White House, United States Capitol, Embassy Row, downtown Washington, and major international institutions. Designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable daily living, the home has been thoughtfully transformed with extensive renovations valued at over $500K including removed walls, reconfigured living spaces, and a relocated fireplace to create an open, modern layout filled with natural light. Infused with countless high-end upgrades and designer finishes both big and small, the floor to ceiling stone fireplace, rich hardwood flooring, custom woodwork, chic upgraded lighting, sleek renovated baths, and so much more create instant appeal. The dramatic rear elevation showcases expansive windows overlooking the trees, multiple outdoor entertaining spaces including two rear decks, a stunning stone patio with fire pit, and a welcoming enclosed front porch and front stone terrace ideal for hosting guests or quiet evenings outdoors. Offering over 3,500 finished square feet, the home includes a luxurious upper-level primary suite with a private balcony and a renovated ensuite bath with a vessel soaking tub and dual showers, a lofted office or lounge space, and additional finished storage area. The lower-level features two additional bedrooms, a renovated full bath, and a spacious family room with direct access to the outdoor entertaining spaces. The seller has made extensive renovations both inside and out and sadly has to relocate. Complete with a two-car garage, this exceptional residence is a rare offering for diplomats, international buyers, executives, or anyone seeking a private architectural retreat in one of Washington DC’s most prestigious and globally connected locations.
Cleveland Park, located between Woodley Park and Van Ness, is a residential and commercial Washington neighborhood with a Metro stop and leafy hillside streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Connecticut Avenue NW at Macomb Street NW, where sidewalk patios, indie boutiques, and long-running eateries line the corridor. Landmark The Uptown anchors local nights with its classic marquee and big-screen programming. Politics and Prose adds author talks and a well-stocked bookstore-cafe rhythm. The Spanish Steps and nearby Rock Creek Park trails thread quiet green breaks between early-20th-century rowhouses and apartment buildings.

OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED - HOUSE IS UNDER CONTRACT! Stunning California-style "treehouse" located in a wooded enclave of just six contemporary homes overlooking Rock Creek Park, minutes from the red line metro and the Connecticut Avenue commercial corridor of Cleveland Park. Multiple skylights, soaring ceilings, oversized windows and numerous porches and balconies offer leafy views from every room and create a dynamic relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. The home's bedroom configuration makes it IDEAL for MULTIGENERATIONAL LIVING! On the main level is a dramatic step-down living room with a 19' ceiling, a cozy reading area with fireplace, a dining room with sliding glass doors to a deck, a redone eat-in kitchen, a powder room, and direct access to the two-car garage. The second level features a loft-style office or den which overlooks the living room below. Just beyond, the principle bedroom has its own private sun deck with glorious views over the park. The room is open to a sun-filled, skylit bath with an oversized glass shower, two sinks and a wall of closets. A staircase off the hallway leads up to a studio hideaway, the perfect spot for morning yoga or an additional home office. The home's lowest level has a bright family room (or fourth bedroom) with a walk-in closet and sliding glass doors to a sequestered brick terrace. Two additional bedrooms -- one with a small private deck -- are also on this level; both are served by a full bath with two sinks and a tub/shower combination. This special home offers great style, convenience and privacy in a beautiful natural setting -- all just minutes away from both downtown DC and the hiking and biking trails of Rock Creek Park.
