The back yard has been transformed with terrace space and provides a low-maintenance space for other activities. Situated atop a hill, the house has private, unobstructed forest views, with no immediate rear neighbor in sight. Its proximity to Rock Creek Park provides numerous opportunities to enjoy the natural landscape while still being a short commute to downtown. The first floor offers a large living room with a working, wood-burning fireplace. The dining room is its original size and can easily accommodate a large gathering as well as be used for weeknight dinners. The kitchen was beautifully renovated and opens onto a large family room. This family room provides a full bathroom and is connected to a large deck overlooking the back yard, which is quiet and private, and has views onto the tree canopy below. The second floor offers a large primary bedroom, three secondary bedrooms, and a renovated bathroom done in a style consonant with the house when it was built in 1929. The lower level works as a unit unto itself with a large living space, separate bedroom and full bathroom, laundry, and storage. This level walks out to a patio shaded by the deck above and has access to the other terraces and a detached one-car garage. This is a beautiful house from the period, in impeccable condition, well-cared for by all of its owners, and unique in its scale and comfort. Read Less
