Exquisite 1939 English Country Cottage Steps to Rock Creek Park Evoking storybook charm in every detail, this beautifully renovated English Country Cottage is perfectly sited just steps from Rock Creek Park, the Nature Center, and Metro bus service. Signature architectural features — including a cross-gabled roof, charming niches, graceful arches, and a distinctive front chimney — set the tone for the character within. Inside, the living room welcomes you with a cozy fireplace and flows seamlessly into the dining room and white kitchen, appointed with stainless steel appliances, quartz counters with elegant grey veining, and a breakfast bar with seating for two. To the east, two bedrooms share a stylishly renovated bath adorned with classic white subway tile, gold-tone fixtures, and striking navy walls. The rear of the home features a versatile space currently used for casual dining, a home office, or art studio, which opens via a pocket door to the private primary suite. Here you’ll find a spacious bedroom, custom closet, and a luxurious full bath clad in stunning Carrera marble. The fully finished lower level contains the recreation room with 2nd fireplace, walls of custom built-ins, renovated powder room, laundry and storage. The fenced backyard is an entertainer’s paradise — a brick patio beneath a custom motorized pergola offers year-round comfort, while a pizza oven, bar area, and grill pad make hosting a delight. Meticulously renovated throughout, including new windows, kitchen, baths, and exterior doors, this one-of-a-kind home blends timeless charm with modern luxury.
