Discover a rare piece of Washington history with this 1917 Wardman home, one of only eight attached Wardman residences of its kind. Perfectly situated across from the Swiss Embassy and overlooking lush green space, this home offers the quintessential Woodley Park lifestyle—seamlessly blending original architectural charm with modern updates on one of the best streets in Woodley Park.
Imagine starting your morning on the welcoming front porch, looking out over protected greenery just steps from Rock Creek Park. The main level welcomes you with an entry foyer leading to a spacious living room featuring custom built-ins, gleaming hardwoods, and a working wood-burning fireplace. Whether you’re hosting dinner in the formal dining room or enjoying a quiet evening on the back porch, every inch of this home exudes comfort. The efficient galley kitchen also features a sunny eat-in area, providing an ideal setting for everyday living . A powder room on this floor completes the main level.
The second floor serves as a private sanctuary, featuring an expanded primary suite with dual walk-in closets and a luxurious bath complete with a jacuzzi and walk-in shower. In addition, there is a large open family room with a wall of windows. Upstairs, the third level offers two additional sun-drenched bedrooms with original pine floors, full bathroom and a versatile open loft that easily adapts to your needs—whether as a home office, family room, or additional bedroom.
Completing this exceptional residence is a fully equipped lower-level au pair or guest suite with a private entrance, full bath, and separate laundry room. With dedicated two-car parking (and an electric car charger) and a location that is walking distance to the Metro, top-tier schools, the National Zoo and local restaurants, this isn't just a house; it’s a piece of the DC legacy.
