WESLEY HEIGHTS 4500 Cathedral Avenue NW, Washington, DC
The Wesley Heights neighborhood of Washington is one of the most beautiful in the city, known for its stately homes on large, well kept lots, its proximity to beautiful Battery Kemble and Glover Archbold Parks and its convenient accessibility to all parts of the city. The shops, restaurants and offices at Foxhall Square are all within walking distance, and Horace Mann Elementary School is just three blocks away. There are numerous public buses that connect Wesley Heights to the metro and to other neighborhoods throughout the city. The classic façade and beautiful natural setting of this Miller-built home give it an elegant street presence, and its large, luminous common rooms, numerous bedrooms and expansive floor plan are perfect for entertaining and accommodating guests of all ages. The first floor, in addition to living and dining rooms, has a lovely sunroom, a large library/family room with rustic beamed ceiling, and a generous eat-in kitchen. Four bedrooms, each with access to a Jack-and-Jill bath, are on the second floor; the top level has an additional bedroom with en suite bath and an office (or spare bedroom) and hall bath. The home’s lowest level has a family room (currently set up as an office), an additional bedroom and full bath, and a spacious laundry room/workshop and storage area. A two-car garage offers direct access into the house.
A lovely arched front door at 4500 Cathedral Avenue opens to a spacious foyer with a curving staircase to the upper levels. Double doors open on the right to a commodious dining room, perfect for entertaining. The room has crown molding, a chair rail, a brass chandelier, a charming built-in corner cupboard and large front windows overlooking the lawn. Beyond is a wonderful family room, with a rustic beamed ceiling and dark wood paneling, reminiscent of an English clubroom. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and coziness, and there is a wall of built-in shelves and cabinetry for books and display. Windows on three sides offer views over the garden. The kitchen, at the rear of the house, is another gathering spot. It has large windows; coffee drinkers can sit at the kitchen table and observe the never-ending drama of backyard birdlife. Two sinks make clean up a snap, and a glass door leads out to a tiered rear terrace and lush garden. Tucked discreetly into the far side of the foyer, just outside the kitchen door, are a coat closet and powder room. The living room opens to the left of the front foyer. Stretching the entire depth of the house, it is light and lovely, and has built-in bookshelves surrounding a wood-burning fireplace. Just beyond is a delightful sunroom with a tile floor, windows on three sides and a glass door to the outdoors.
