This three-level, detached, single-family home stands apart from similar properties in the area with its spacious, airy layout and professionally landscaped front and back gardens.

The inviting main level makes entertaining easy; dramatic floor-to-ceiling library bookshelves line the living room wall and invite visitors into the formal dining room and then into a bright and open chef’s kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line stainless steel Viking appliances, Silestone countertops, and custom cabinetry. From the family room off the kitchen, French doors offer a green view of the private rear garden. With high ceilings reaching 10.5 feet on this main level and 9 feet on the upper level, each room feels open and bright.

On the upper level, you will find an expansive primary bedroom and luxurious en suite bathroom with soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms, united by a shared full bathroom, make the house ideal for the growing family or for WFH; the rear bedroom also features a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. The upper level has one of the home’s two w/ds; skylights in both baths and the hallway bring light to every space.

The lower level includes an additional bedroom (currently used as a home office) and full bath; a laundry area with second w/d, and a large recreation room with built-in surround speakers, a wet bar, and playfully hand-painted murals. A separate exit leads to the secluded garden that inspired the famed painter Alma Thomas and offers a serene respite from the bustling Logan Circle neighborhood.

Steps from everything and a true piece of D.C. history, the house was extensively renovated about 10 years ago, and has since been updated with numerous smart home features and new appliances.
