Set on premier Woodley Road with a beautiful natural canopy of mature trees, this 8 beds, 5.2-bath home seamlessly blends grand entertaining with casual living through a quintessential floor plan designed for modern day living. Elegance unfolds the moment you step into the grand reception foyer crowned by a cascading wrought-iron staircase serving as the gateway to the home's formal spaces. Sunlit living room, anchored by a stately FP and framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, flows effortlessly into a dreamy sunroom wrapped in grasscloth wallpaper-offering serene views of the lush backyard. Tucked off the solarium a richly paneled library with FP creating the ultimate private retreat. Elegant dining room with French doors opening to the expansive terraces sets the stage for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. At the heart of the home is the expansive Chef's kitchen, designed for both culinary excellence & effortless hosting. Chefs' kitchen with great space, custom cabinetry, island with breakfast bar seating, desk command center, top of the line appliances, separate breakfast area, and fully loaded butler's pantry with wine fridge, sink, and custom cabinetry. Off the kitchen, Ralph Lauren-inspired family room w/ warm chestnut paneling, FP, bay window, and French doors opening to the bluestone patio & new tasteful in-ground spa. Thoughtfully designed mudroom with custom cabinetry connects to the heated 3 car garage, perfectly positioned as a discreet backdoor drop zone. Gracious 2nd floor is anchored by the private primary suite wing-offering a serene sanctuary with a spacious bedroom, sitting room with FP, and currently set up as his-and-her baths with an additional den (or bedroom). 3 additional ensuite bedrooms on this level, one tucked away on the north wing with a light-filled art studio. Fully equipped 2nd floor laundry also on this level. Third floor with soaring ceilings, large rec space, and three oversized bedrooms with a full bath offer endless possibilities. The lower level provides even more versatility, with a spacious rec room/gym, custom wine cellar, and ample storage. From inside to out, 5 Woodley is an all American classic that always continues to only get better with time. This is a phenomenal opportunity to take this graceful & solidly built home to a new level of 2025 luxury.
