Located on a quiet tree lined street in sought after Cathedral Heights, this beautifully updated home combines meticulously renovated spaces with period details and charm. The 2,700 square foot home features 2 generous bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2 half baths and 2 covered parking spaces with an electric car charging port. The main level features a stately staircase, original wood burning fireplace, built-in bookcases, and connects to a formal dining room with original coffered ceiling. The stunning kitchen renovation is a chef’s dream featuring top of the line appliances including La Cornue range, Subzero refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher. Kitchen design features include custom full height inset cabinets, unlacquered brass hardware, quartz countertops, custom walnut island, farmhouse sink, beverage center with secondary sink, refrigerator and freezer drawers, and abundant storage including a walk in pantry. The kitchen opens onto a peaceful entertaining courtyard and zen garden with water feature. Upstairs, the current owners converted one of the bedrooms into a laundry room and primary dressing room outfitted by California Closets. These spaces could be easily reverted back to a bedroom. The completely remodeled primary bathroom features twin custom vanities with marble countertops, heated marble flooring, a large walk-in shower, and clawfoot bathtub under a picture window overlooking the garden. The basement has been fully renovated and provides a spacious, flexible open floor plan with herringbone ceramic floors, recessed lighting, with front and rear exterior access. For the health conscious, the basement also features a medical grade infrared sauna with chromotherapy. Wine aficionados will be delighted by the temperature controlled wine cellar with 600 bottle capacity. The property is just blocks away from the beautiful National Cathedral, Massachusetts Avenue and Wisconsin Avenue. It is ideally situated between retail in Glover Park and Cathedral Commons. This property is walkable to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Open City, La Piquette, 2Amys, Barcelona, Matchbox, Blue Mercury, Proper Topper, Jetties, Raku, CVS, SoulCycle, Giant, Cactus Cantina, Rocklands BBQ, Sushi Keiko, Pearson’s wine, and Stoddert Recreation Center.
