1803 Phelps Pl NW, Washington, DC 20008

It’s rare to discover a home that exudes elegance and sophistication from every inch that also lives with a relaxed ease and an abundance of modern convenience. 1803 Phelps Place NW is that seemingly elusive offering. Built in 1909, this impressive residence has been entirely reimagined into its current extraordinary form while still maintaining the character and quality of its illustrious former self. A welcoming entry foyer gives way to the light-filled and voluminous main level. Soaring ceilings and classic moldings punctate this dynamic space where the main living and dining rooms have been opened up for a seamless and stylish flow. The absolutely exceptional kitchen is also open to the main living area and is sure to impress even the most particular culinary enthusiast. Incredible and abundant custom cabinetry is not only beautiful, but terrifically serviceable. Storage options are maximized. Gleaming new quartz counters and backsplash add a contemporary note and also enhance the room’s function. A Viking range, Sub Zero refrigerator, additional refrigeration drawers, and a breakfast island with a prep sink also add to the upscale efficiency. A wall of hand-hewn tile creates a dramatic surround to the wood burning fireplace and sets such a lovely mood. An all important half bath and access to the private gated parking are also found on this floor. Boasting five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, the floor plan allows for tremendous flexibility with absolute respect to privacy. The home’s second floor currently acts as a luxurious primary suite. The generous bedroom accommodates not only a king-sized sleeping area but also a delightful sitting room. A marvelous wood paneled library den (or bedroom 2) sits at the opposite side of the house and serves as a luxurious lounge complete with wet bar, mini refrigerator, and gas fireplace. A spacious and well equipped primary bath completed with steam shower, links these two rooms and offers dual vanities, a glass enclosed shower, separate water closet, and a fantastic walk in closet. Custom built-in storage cabinetry runs the length of the hall of this impressive level, while a washer and dryer is also conveniently tucked into its own closet. The top floor offers two additional bedrooms with more fantastic flexibility. The larger of the two is currently being used as a decadent home office and is outfitted with more custom shelving, built in desk, and a chic coffered ceiling. It is also playing double duty as an elegant space to workout. With minor modification, this spectacular room could easily function as a posh primary suite with its spa-like, en-suite bathroom but could just as readily serve as a gracious and comfortable family room. Possibilities are endless. A second well-proportioned bedroom sits at the opposite end of the home, and even boasts a Juliet balcony. Another proportioned hall bathroom sits just outside this room. More custom cabinetry can be found along the hallway and allows for even more convenient storage. A supremely sought after guest/in-law suite encompasses the lower level and boasts a bedroom and bath along with a full kitchen, sitting room and exterior access. Such an excellent use of this stylish and bright space that can serve a variety of purposes for its new owners. The location speaks for itself. Kalorama is highly regarded by Washington’s elite as the city’s best address. It is also incredibly convenient to countless shopping and dining choices, an array of gorgeous greenspaces, Metro and much, much more.
