Forest Hills 3126 ellicott street, nw washington, dc 20008 offered at $3,450,000
F
orest Hills is one of the most beautiful areas of the city, distinguished by stately homes with manicured lawns and quiet, treelined streets. Despite its pastoral quality, the neighborhood is surprisingly close to shops, restaurants, Politics and Prose Bookstore and other local businesses along Connecticut Avenue. Residents use the public buses that run along the Connecticut corridor towards downtown and to the Maryland suburbs, as well as the red line metro that stops at nearby Van Ness Street. Rock Creek Park, with its wooded nature trails, streams and riding paths, provides a lovely natural retreat along the area’s eastern border. The home at 3126 Ellicott Street has a casual, understated elegance, with large luminous rooms, lovely architectural detailing and a rambling floor plan that provides an ideal flow for entertaining. Rooms along the rear of the house, including a stunning conservatory addition, have multiple sets of French doors to an exquisite garden and pool surrounded by a large terrace. The kitchen is beautiful and partially open to a spacious breakfast area and skylit family room; the living and formal dining rooms both have large windows, high ceilings and lovely proportions. On the second floor are four bedrooms and four baths, including a spectacular master that runs the entire depth of the house and has a balcony overlooking the pool. The finished lower level has a large family room and an additional bedroom and full bath. There is a two-car garage attached to the house, directly accessible from the kitchen.
Enter the home through a gracious foyer, with two generous coat closets and a view through the house to the rear pool and garden. A graceful staircase curves around to the upper levels. To the left is a small library with built-in shelves and writing area; with its wood trim and angled gas fireplace it invokes the feel of a cozy English clubroom. A pretty office is to the right, with built-in shelving and cabinetry and a lovely crystal drop chandelier. It has a convenient alarmed “silver closet” for valuables with a locked safe within. Straight ahead is a living room with rustic beamed ceiling and a wood burning fireplace; its large windows and French doors create a dialogue with the outdoor setting and offer lovely views throughout the seasons. The adjacent dining room also has garden access and is large enough to accommodate holiday gatherings and parties; guests can spill over into the expansive skylit family room/breakfast area/and kitchen just beyond. With abundant cream cabinetry, counters of honed black granite and top of the line appliances, the kitchen will please the most demanding chef and the open arrangement facilitates movement between spaces. Glass doors lead from the family room to a spectacular conservatory addition with two walls of glass. The room’s eleven foot ceiling culminates in a massive skylight, and sleek folding Nano doors lead directly out to the pool and terrace. The room has a wood burning fireplace, and a wine bar tucked into the corner.
