6,400 SQ | 0.68 Acres | 7 Beds | 5 Full Baths | 1 Half Bath

Built in 1927 and set along one of Washington’s most coveted streets, this 6,400 SF Tudor has been impeccably updated while preserving the craftsmanship, character, and architectural details that define its era. The residence and newly renovated detached guest house and garage sit beautifully on one of two buildable lots which span .68 acres, with the side lot providing for infinite possibilities.  

A grand limestone foyer sets the tone, framed by original mahogany arches, maple-inlay floors, and a dramatic two-story wood staircase illuminated by leaded-glass windows. The gracious living room features handsome ceiling beams, soaring proportions, and a fireplace, opening to an expansive sunroom wrapped in windows and overlooking the verdant grounds. Across the foyer, the formal dining room is complemented by a butler’s pantry with generous storage and a dedicated bar area—ideal for effortless entertaining.

At the heart of the home, the beautifully renovated eat-in kitchen balances classic architecture with contemporary design. An oversized island, quartz countertops, custom range hood, hand-cut marble and glass backsplash, and high-end appliances create a refined yet inviting gathering space. The kitchen opens directly to the family room and rear deck, allowing indoor and outdoor living to flow seamlessly.

Upstairs, the generously scaled primary suite feels like a private retreat, complete with two walk-in closets, a luxurious bath with dual vanities and soaking tub, and its own private balcony. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the second level. The finished third floor offers two more bedrooms and a full bath, creating flexible space for family, guests, or home offices.

The expansive lower level adds yet another dimension to the home with a recreation room featuring built-ins, a large light-filled bonus room, an additional bedroom and full bath, a spacious laundry area, and abundant storage.

A separate guest house provides an exceptional accessory dwelling with its own living area, updated kitchenette, bedroom, and full bath—ideal for guests, extended family, or a private work-from-home retreat.

Outside, a collection of decks, balconies, and patios takes full advantage of the property’s unusually generous setting. A detached garage with an EV charger is accessed from the rear alley.

The property is comprised of two separate lots: Lot 47, on which the residence sits, measures approximately 11,973 square feet, while adjoining Lot 48 encompasses approximately 17,702 square feet—together creating a remarkable nearly 30,000-square-foot offering in the city.

Located in sought-after Forest Hills, the home enjoys a serene residential setting just moments from Rock Creek Park and the shops, restaurants, and conveniences along Connecticut Avenue, a rare combination of architectural distinction, extraordinary land, and effortless city living.
