MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE HEIGHTS
massachusetts avenue heights 2728 32nd street, nw Washington, DC 20008
M
assachusetts Avenue Heights is the sheltered residential enclave created by an Act of Congress in the early 20th century, the legislation permitted a departure from the grid design of Pierre L’Enfant for the nation’s capital, and allowed the curving street that would thread through the hilly, wooded contours of then-undeveloped land. With its proximity to Massachusetts Avenue and its pastoral beauty, the neighborhood soon became a coveted destination, and today it is home to many of Washington’s most architecturally significant and generously-sited residences. Abutting Rock Creek Park and its trails and bike paths, the Parkway provides direct access to downtown Washington, Reagan National Airport, and Embassy Row. In addition, Massachusetts Avenue Heights is very close to most of the city’s well-regarded independent schools. This picturesque 1933 Tudor style residence has been meticulously renovated to accommodate the needs of the most discerning buyer, while preserving its historic grandeur. Situated on nearly half an acre, the residence features the detailed brickwork, tower, heavy timbers and intricate clay roof that were emblematic of the genre.
An elegant porte cochere opens to a private cobbled courtyard, and secluded terraces and mature English style gardens offer magnificent views of Rock Creek Park. Noteworthy features in its interior include original flooring, ceilings with hand-hewn beams, leaded glass windows, gothic arched doorways and two Juliet balconies. The public rooms on the main level are each exquisite and unique: the entry hall with original tile floor and gothic arches, the living room with its soaring ceilings and period fireplace, the bright study with three walls of windows that look out on the luxuriant garden and pool, a handsome library, a gracious dining room with corner fireplace and beamed ceiling, and a sitting room with coffered ceiling and French doors opening onto a rear terrace. A true chef’s kitchen is outfitted with Vulcan appliances and greenhouse windows reminiscent of an English country house. In all, there are six wood-burning fireplaces dispersed throughout the well-proportioned entertaining rooms on the main level and in all the second floor bedrooms.
