Located in the heart of prestigious Cleveland Park, the award-winning tiered gardens and private oasis surround the impeccably cared for home artfully renovated by Falcon Construction with every detail in mind. The wrap around porch welcomes you into this spacious home which offers 5 spacious bedrooms, an office/den with built-in cabinetry, 4 luxurious full baths, and 2 powder rooms. The main floor is open and bright, featuring a reimagined chef's kitchen with island seating and built-in dining area, a large yet cozy living room with coffered ceilings and grand double doors that open to a delightful screened porch overlooking the lush garden. A large foyer, formal dining room with gas fireplace, and powder room complete the first level. The redesigned owner's suite offers a peaceful environment lined with abundant windows overlooking the tranquil garden, a gas fireplace, and generous closet space. French doors open to a private terrace with a hot tub providing wonderful views of the grounds and the National Cathedral in winter months. The adjacent office/den with built-ins also connects to the private terrace. The elegant marble owner's bathroom features a double shower, double vanity, and heated floors. An additional bedroom with a wood-burning fireplace and new marble bath with soaking tub rounds out the second floor. The third floor includes two bedrooms, a full bath and ample extra storage. The lower level is yet another wonderful living space with a large family room, half bath, laundry room, additional storage - plus an au pair suite complete with a bedroom, ensuite full bath, and second kitchen. The special features include: attractive built-ins and millwork, hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, oversized windows, and architectural details that honor the home's historic legacy. Modern amenities include: built-in Sonos speaker system, security system, and custom interior lighting. This award-winning landscaped and reimagined backyard is a special retreat - a playground for adults and children alike. Directly off the rear screened porch is a level, fenced and generous yard with a flagstone patio, grassy areas, lush plantings, and a playground. Take the stairs down to the beautifully hardscaped terrace with a gas fire pit, ample seating, and dramatic lighting (featured as the top pick in Houzz's "50 Dreamy Little Decks from Around the World") . Or, join the kids and take the rope bridge down to the tree house. Walk through a landscaped section of the yard to another level and discover serene plantings, tiered walkways, custom lighting and irrigation, an in-ground trampoline, and many more surprises along the way. It's your own paradise in the heart of the city.
