Property description
Move right into this stunning historic home designed by architect Harvey L. Page who designed homes such as the Phoebe Hearst House and the Whittemore House in Washington's DuPont Circle. With neo-classical architecture the house exudes a gracious and welcoming style. The soaring 12' ceilings, original woodwork and fireplaces, expansive rooms and generous windows create a home that is grand yet providing a scale that is in line with today's lifestyle. Every room has been renovated with no detail left behind. The exquisite kitchen has all high end finishes including custom built all wood cabinetry, appliances from Lacanche, Leibherr and Bosch and a beautiful marble top island as the center piece. The master bedroom suite offers a relaxing respite complete with butler pantry and full dressing room. All other bedrooms are en-suite with finishes including marble tile, radiant flooring and free standing tubs. The lower level offers a media room and recreation area complete with full bar.
