Welcome to this exquisite home in Glen Echo Heights. Enter through an oversized mahogany door, into a sky-lit foyer with heated travertine stone floors, flowing into beech hardwoods throughout the main level, sweeping ceiling heights, and an expansive open floorplan. The space looks out through floor-to-ceiling windows lined with mahogany trim to a reflecting pool and a breathtaking wooded glen. To the left of the entry, you will find a guest half bath with an Italian-marble sink and custom textured walls, followed by two oversized coat closets. The first floor boasts tons of light through multiple skylights and the glass-lined back, accentuated by the vast ceiling height. The open, gourmet kitchen features steamed beech panelling throughout; Viking, Wolf, and Subzero appliances; and a seamless extra work area with tons of storage cabinets alongside the kitchen island. With multiple dining and living spaces on the first level, you may choose to dine or relax by the stone-lined fireplace or sit gazing out at the pool and backyard greenery. This space connects to a glass-enclosed extra living or office space, through a floor-to-ceiling solid beechwood door. Both spaces include beautiful sliding glass doors to enjoy temperate days and cool breezes, while enjoying the sounds of nature and running water. Upstairs you will find three bedrooms and two full baths, one ensuite to the primary bedroom. The primary looks out onto the sweeping backyard, has an extra sitting area, two walk-in closets, and an updated 2023 full bath with two skylights. The first floor provides an additional living space, complete with a fireplace and storage (through a secret door in the bookshelf), full bath, glass door opening to a private back patio, as well as a sizable laundry room that leads to the garage. The lower level includes another living or guest space, multiple closets, and extensive storage. The backyard features an oversized, slate patio with a custom reflecting pool featuring a tinkling waterfall and a tree-lined, lush private yard, bamboo, and garden with an Italian stone well. HVAC, water heater, and roof all replaced in the last 5 years.
