Nestled in the heart of Spring Valley, 5060 Overlook Road NW is a stately Cape Cod that seamlessly blends timeless architectural elegance with modern comforts—including a rare main-level primary bedroom suite with two ensuite full baths, making for a total of three full bathrooms on the first floor. Encompassing 5,550 square feet on a generous 0.38-acre lot, this home offers exceptional space, privacy, and presence. Upon entry, the foyer sets the tone for this gracious residence. To the left, the formal living room invites you in with its wood-burning fireplace and seamless access to a bright screened-in porch—perfect for morning coffee or quiet reading. Flowing naturally from the living room is a charming sitting room that opens into a sunlit breakfast area and a European-inspired kitchen with St. Charles cabinetry. Outfitted with sleek stainless steel appliances, honed marble countertops, and all-white cabinetry, the kitchen exudes modern refinement. From here, the formal dining room is framed by a bay window that bathes the space in natural light. Beyond, the layout unfolds into a library/media room and a family room anchored by a fireplace and built-in wet bar. Surrounded by windows with picturesque views of the lush backyard and stone patio, this space offers a seamless connection to the home’s tranquil outdoor setting. The lower level expands the living experience with a large game room, a spacious laundry area, a private guest suite with ensuite full bath, and a separate entrance to the exterior—enhancing flexibility and privacy. Additional highlights include a storage room off the attached three-car garage, outfitted with custom shelving and ideal for use as a wine cellar, in addition to the ample attic storage. Upstairs, the home offers four additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms, each designed with generous closet space and abundant natural light. Two ample linen closets and attic access enhance practicality and complete this level. Whether hosting grand gatherings or enjoying peaceful moments at home, this residence offers a thoughtful layout, refined details, and a truly special setting in one of Washington, DC's most sought-after neighborhoods.
