Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Woodley Park and inbounds for Oyster-Adams Bilingual School, this classic center-hall brick Colonial blends timeless architecture with thoughtful modern updates. Built in 1955 and offering approximately 3,000 square feet across three finished levels, the home sits on a private 5,050 square foot lot surrounded by lush greenery and a fully fenced garden, creating a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. Inside, expansive, light-filled rooms are enhanced by all new full-pane windows and handsome wood floors throughout. A comprehensive renovation by the current owners has reimagined the home for modern living, including a stunning reconfiguration of the kitchen and dining spaces, opening walls to seamlessly connect everyday life. Additional updates include a remodeled main-level sunroom/office, a fully redesigned lower level with lounge area, bedroom, bath, and laundry, new front and rear entry doors, and a beautifully renovated primary en-suite full bath with upgraded closets. On the main level, the welcoming entry foyer immediately draws your eye through to the verdant rear setting. The heart of the home is a true chef’s kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, soapstone counters, and peninsula seating—flowing effortlessly into the dining area and the living room with a wood-burning fireplace. A bright sunroom/office opens directly to the rear deck, perfect for tree top views and entertaining, while a powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms are complemented by two renovated full baths. The walk-out lower level offers exceptional flexibility with a spacious family room, fourth bedroom, third new full bath, laundry, and ample storage. An attached garage with additional storage and driveway parking adds everyday convenience. Ideally located just moments from neighborhood schools, shops, and restaurants, as well as the trails of Rock Creek Park, the Smithsonian National Zoological Park, and Metro, this exceptional home offers the perfect balance of privacy, space, and accessibility.
