Classic Colonial Elegance in Prestigious Wesley Heights Nestled in one of Washington, DC’s most coveted neighborhoods, this deceptively spacious classic 1927 Colonial offers timeless elegance, modern amenities, and exceptional craftsmanship across 5,765 finished square feet. Located in the heart of Wesley Heights, this distinguished residence combines traditional architectural beauty with sophisticated living. A gracious foyer opens to a grand living room on the right—an expansive space with a stately fireplace and an elegant sitting area framed by French doors. To the left, a cozy family room with its own fireplace offers a warm retreat. The formal dining room sits just beyond the living room, wrapped in French doors that flood the space with natural light and provide serene views of the private backyard—a regal setting for entertaining. The chef’s kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring limestone floors, abundant custom cabinetry, and exquisite Costa Esmeralda and Fantasy granite countertops. The circular breakfast nook, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling Pella windows, is bathed in light and features heated floors for year-round comfort. A designer powder room with a custom stenciled floor by artist Marcus Pluntke completes the main level. Upstairs, the second floor boasts four well-appointed bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite. This private retreat includes two walk-in closets, en-suite bathroom, a stunning circular sitting room with gas fireplace, walls of windows with privacy shades, a private office, and a secluded balcony overlooking the backyard. The third floor provides three additional bedrooms and a full bath with skylight, plus a spacious bonus room—perfect for guests, play, or creative use. Outdoors, a professionally landscaped backyard offers a flagstone patio, green space, and privacy-enhancing plantings, all supported by a full irrigation system. A two-car garage is conveniently attached via portico. With 9-foot ceilings throughout most of the home, abundant natural light, and an ideal balance of formal and informal spaces, this residence is an extraordinary offering in one of DC’s most refined enclaves. A rare opportunity to own a classic yet expansive home in Wesley Heights.
