On a private road, just steps from the heart of Rock Creek Park, this home is sited in an exclusive enclave that offers tranquility and unprecedented access to one of the country’s best urban parks – yet the conveniences of urban living are only steps away. Designed by the notable Russell Parker, with the Parker Group of Potomac, its styling is reflective of the nearby Hillwood Mansion: ornate crown moldings, intricate ceiling medallions, elegant fireplace mantels, and a large, private terrace surrounded by lush greenery that extends the living space to the outdoors. The European flavor of the home begins on the entry level with its spacious library with custom built-ins; a guest bedroom or in-law suite, a full laundry room with plenty of storage space, and access to the attached garage. Upstairs, the main level offers a generous living room with woodburning fireplace and a dining room that can easily accommodate large formal dinners – both with multiple French doors onto the stunning terrace. A roomy eat-in kitchen and an office/den/guest room with views of greenery round out this level. On the top level, the primary suite offers space for a king-sized bed, a sitting area with woodburning fireplace, a balcony overlooking the gardens with a spiral staircase leading to the flat portion of the roof (deck potential), and a spa-like primary bathroom. At the end of the skylit hall that floods the upper level with natural light, two additional bedrooms share the third bathroom. Storage galore, newer roof, dual zone HVAC systems less than 5 years old, automatic irrigation system for the gardens, whole-house water softening, and a reverse osmosis filtration system for the kitchen tap. Around the corner from the Hillwood Estate, the Lenore Pool and Tennis Club, and a short walk to Pierce Mill and all the hiking and biking paths of Rock Creek Park. Come see! OH Sun 10/5, 1pm-3pm.
