Perched elegantly above the street with views of Glover-Archbold Park, this beautifully maintained home in Wesley Heights is a quintessential example of Cape Cod architecture, blended seamlessly with Colonial Revival influences. With its steep roofline, dormered second story, and classic brick construction, 2916 New Mexico Avenue NW offers a timeless aesthetic that’s both stately and welcoming.
Inside, you'll find 4 bedrooms--plus a sleeping loft--and 3.5 baths spread over four levels measuring over 3,600 square feet of finished living space. The fully-finished basement offers a complete living area for in-laws, an au pair or guests, with a full kitchen, large living area with wood-burning fireplace, a full bath, a separate bedroom and a laundry room. No guests?--no problem! Turn the basement into an in-home gym or home office. The former garage has been converted into a workroom but could be converted back by opening up the exterior stone wall. The driveway offers convenient off-street parking.
On the main level, you'll enter a cozy foyer that leads to a fully renovated kitchen on one side and a welcoming living room with gas fireplace on the other. The circular flow of the main level takes you from a delicious dinner off the gorgeous open kitchen, to cocktails or conversation in the living room, on to board games or a movie in the back sunroom and a game of fetch and relaxing with family and friends in the beautifully landscaped backyard, complete with built-in gas grill. There is also a half bath and stacked laundry on the main level.
Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms and two renovated full baths--including a primary suite with a large walk-in closet/dressing room and a primary bath with dual sinks and radiant floor heating--plus a sleeping loft on the top floor that is a perfect space for a home office, a playroom or a sewing/arts nook.
With hardwood floors throughout, two fireplaces, smart home automation, newly remodeled kitchens and baths, numerous systems upgrades and countless other improvements totaling over $600,000 (a full list is available), this beautifully maintained home is not just a house; it’s a turnkey, style-savvy tribute to mid-century design, thoughtfully adapted for modern living.
