This stately Forest Hills residence is sited on a rarely available 1.1 acre lot in sought-after Forest Hills. The home was constructed in 1927 by Harry Wardman, builder of many of Washington's most distinguished homes and buildings. The home is a wonderful example of the Spanish Eclectic style, with its ornamental front door surround and metal work, focal windows, and barrel-tiled roof. The residence is ideal for entertaining, with a gracious entry foyer; large public rooms; a high-end chef's kitchen as well as a service kitchen; two flagstone terraces with beautiful vistas overlooking the swimming pool, grounds and national parkland; and a turn-court driveway. Other fine details: six to seven bedrooms, five fireplaces, gorgeous crown molding, a bright family room that opens to the upper rear patio, extensive closet space throughout, and a master bedroom suite with his and hers baths.
