Description
Located on coveted Woodland Drive in prestigious Massachusetts Avenue Heights, this light-filled whitewash colonial is set on a stunning, south facing lot of nearly half an acre. The very private grounds provide a gorgeous vista from the home and include multiple terraces, heated pool, spa, ample play space and even a secret patio. Originally built in 1941 by Thomas “Tommy the Cork” Corcoran, the home has been expanded and renovated over the years, most recently by its current owners, who reconfigured the entire upper and lower levels, updated the kitchen and renovated multiple baths, among other thoughtful improvements. Beautifully presented and with approximately 6,250 square feet of finished living space, the home has four levels and is ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. The main level offers gracious living areas, featuring a custom paneled family room with ceilings of nearly thirteen feet adjacent to the recently updated kitchen, a banquet sized dining room, beautiful living room, and a lovely office. Upper levels include a primary suite with dual primary bathrooms and walk-in closet, five additional bedrooms, three additional bathrooms and a laundry closet. A game room with plumbing in place for a future kitchenette or bar, media/recreation room, mudroom and in-law quarters with bath are located on the lower level, along with an additional full bath with direct outdoor access to the pool and a laundry room. The oversized, attached two-car garage is also on this level, and off-street driveway parking for two is accessed here as well. Nestled just south of the National Cathedral, this stunning neighborhood is quietly tucked away while still offering all the amenities of the city. Residents enjoy easy access Woodley Metro, restaurants and shops, and the serenity offered by Rock Creek Park trails, Dumbarton Oaks and Montrose Park. Nearby are some of the most highly ranked private and public schools in the nation. This location is minutes to the White House, the Kennedy Center, and downtown DC. Reagan National, Dulles Airport, and points in Maryland are easily reached via major roadways. The superb condition of this home and setting on such an exceptional lot make this a truly special offering in our marketplace.
