Ideally located in the highly desirable Wesley Heights neighborhood, this impressive residence is a notable example of Colonial Revival architecture. Set on a sprawling, nearly half-acre lot, it features a classic brick facade and an inviting front portico. Originally constructed in 1951, the home has been meticulously expanded and renovated by David Decker. The design and furnishings are by Andrew Law. The house offers a seamless blend of expansive entertaining spaces and cozy family living areas across nearly 10,000 square feet of interior space, making it ideal for both grand events and everyday comfort. The elegance of the main level is introduced through a gracious entry foyer that features polished marble floors, ornate crown molding, and exquisite wall paneling, leading to a breathtaking two-story central reception area with a gas fireplace. The adjoining formal living room is bathed in soft natural light from south and east-facing windows, enhanced by lovely moldings and another inviting gas fireplace. A sophisticated dining room, large enough to accommodate lavish gatherings, seamlessly connects to a well-appointed butler’s pantry. The chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece of design, boasting a central island with a breakfast bar, custom cabinetry, and high-end appliances from Wolf and Subzero. The kitchen opens onto a charming breakfast room and a family room centered around a magnificent limestone mantel fireplace. The main floor also features a richly appointed library with wood-paneled walls, a fireplace and built-in bookshelves, a serene screened porch with park views, and a discreetly located powder room. Ascending the stately staircase to the second level, one is greeted by a dramatic oversized window on the landing, offering picturesque views. The generously-scaled primary suite is a sanctuary of luxury, with a soaring ceiling, an arched window overlooking the verdant rear grounds, and dual walk-in closets. The en-suite bathroom is a spa-like retreat, complete with dual vanities, a glass-encased steam shower, a jacuzzi soaking tub, and a separate water closet. Four additional bedrooms each offer sunny, generously proportioned interiors and ample closet space, alongside a convenient laundry room. The lower level is a haven for relaxation and entertainment, featuring an impressive recreation room with a stone fireplace and built-in media center, a convenient wet bar, and direct access to the rear terrace. This floor also includes an office adorned with extensive built-ins, a gym/game room, a media room equipped with a projector, a sixth bedroom with its own cozy fireplace and en-suite bathroom, and additional storage spaces. Additionally, there is a detached two-car garage. The outdoor area is a private retreat, surrounded by mature trees and meticulously landscaped grounds, with a large, flat backyard that adjoins Glover-Archbold Park, a 183-acre stream-valley park in Northwest Washington, DC on the western edge of Georgetown. This home not only captures the essence of luxury and elegance, but also offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a truly exquisite estate in the heart of Wesley Heights.
