Property Description
Legacy Palisades Cape Cod w/ hand-painted cedar shake shingles + adjoining modern guest Carriage House totaling approximately 3,500 finished square feet w/ detached 2-car garage available for the first time in generations - 60(!) years. Wake up each day to relax on the covered front sitting porch overlooking your own secret garden courtyard filled with whimsical perennials - including butterfly bushes, lilacs, azaleas, daylilies, and hydrangeas - surrounding an active Koi pond. The property features a main residence with rich, natural plank oak hardwoods and 3 finished levels steeped in rarely experienced history and allure. Both the Main House and Carriage House are equipped with replaced Central A/C and the plumbing has been upgraded to copper pipes and fittings. The main level offers versatile living areas and elegant window treatments: a comfortable front parlor featuring a modern gas fireplace, a centrally-located Dining Room off the Coastal-inspired Kitchen w/ authentic milled Portland heart pine wood flooring, gas cooking & large prep island with walk-in Pantry, and a rear Florida-styled Sunroom that walks out to a porch overlook (with a connected gas line for a Grill) and adjacent Sun Deck. A spiral-staircase leads to the lower gardens and hot tub, continuing the enchanted feel of natural beauty while hidden from view by a privacy fence. The French Door rear entrance lower-level adds an extra 1,100 sq ft of living space - beginning with an artisan / pottery studio w/ colorful stained glass and a separate pied-à-terre apartment with a 2nd kitchen. The remaining lower-level houses the Washer and Dryer in a galley work area that leads into finished space for use as additional living areas, storage, or a place for hobbies and crafting. Upstairs on the 3rd level are the primary sleeping quarters, featuring two generously-appointed bedrooms separated by a center hall (with access to attic space for additional storage). The insulated fabric walls, magnificent window treatments, and custom built-ins (in the primary bedroom) and window treatments add subtle touches of elegance. The 3rd level contains 2 full bathrooms; the primary bathroom is ensuite to the primary bedroom that also includes 2 walk-in closets (w/ one cedar-lined). Adjoining the main house is the 1,425 square-foot carriage house, complete with a self-contained (but not fully-separately metered) 728 square-foot studio apartment with cathedral ceilings above a 2-car garage (with Sump Pump and French Drain) accessed from the private, rear alley. The Carriage House has its own, standalone Central A/C, Heating and Water Heater system. The oversized garage has enough room for workbenches and carpentry tools. The top-floor apartment offers an additional living area or can operate standalone as a guest/Au Pair suite, rental property or AirBnB. The apartment comes with its own full kitchen, full bathroom, and walk-in Closet. The carriage house's highlight is an extended Solarium that overlooks the botanical gardens. The carriage house roof system was replaced in 2022 and a declared 10' easement is recorded with Lot 43. Live in one of the best addresses in D.C.'s iconic Palisades neighborhood. Location: minutes to Sibley Memorial Hospital, Georgetown University and top-rated schools. 15 minutes to Reagan Airport (DCA), downtown Washington, D.C., and The Pentagon.
