    What's special

    Existing poolPool houseAttached three car garageSerene and private backyard
    Price correction! An extremely rare opportunity to purchase an iconic Mass Ave Heights home on Embassy Row. This prestigious property was originally constructed in 1919 and is available for sale for the first time in 50 years. Most recently used as a chancery, the property stands as a rare blank canvas for restoration or reinvention—an architectural gem ready to be revived for a new era of significance. Boasting over 11,000 sq/ft of living space on a .35 Acre lot in the heart of DC, the home currently has 8 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and various ballrooms and staterooms for entertaining. The rear exterior transports you out of the city and into a serene and private backyard with an existing pool and pool house. An attached three car garage stands in addition to a circular driveway with access from Massachusetts ave and 30th street NW. All appointments must be scheduled 24 hours in advance and listing agents must accompany. *All photos contained in this listing have been digitally enhanced*
