QUINTESSENCE OF FABULOUS CAPITOL HILL LIVING RESIDENCE: Live the perfect day in this tranquil 3 bedroom modern home that provides a fabulous open floorplan and the ultimate to Capitol Hill living. A hidden passageway beside this very unpretentious façade leads the visitors to the side entrance that opens into a brightly lit contemporary interior. From the original two-story building, Architect James D. Wilner developed a new environment which has more than doubled the old floor space and flooded the entire interior with natural light. A dramatic atrium and soaring cathedral ceilings make a lasting first impression on the main level. A functional kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz counters and a breakfast bar has a service exit into the front yard. The dining area under the atrium’s skylights sets the tone for entertaining your guests. The open floorplan flows into a light-filled living room with high ceilings and a real wood burning fireplace. Floor to ceiling glass doors lead you to your deep garden with lush landscaping. The entire home has beautiful oak hardwood floors throughout. Rising in the center of the house is a steel self-supporting staircase laminated in oak. Besides directing the attention upward, it serves as a division between activity areas on the first two floors. Contemporary furniture is in keeping with the architect’s idea that every line element be tightly controlled with nothing to detract the designs created by cubes and planes. At the front of the second story is occupied by a spacious guest bedroom and a laundry closet and ample of storage. Sliding glass doors with frosted panels custom made in Italy by the industry’s trendsetter “The Sliding Door Co.” allow the light through from the atrium skylights while ensure privacy. This space can be easily converted into a full suite or a study. In the rear, the master bedroom suite has a wall of windows and doors to the outside. Your very own balcony is running the width of the room overlooking the peaceful landscaped garden. A newly updated bathroom with large glass shower and a walk in closet completes this suite for perfect relaxation. Essentially a repetition of the second floor master suite, the third floor area has the same serene setting. Enjoy Washington Monument view and 4th of July fireworks from your bed or large balcony. Two geometric patio seating areas linked by a brick stone walk set the theme for the garden. The oval sitting area softens the geometric effect and the back trees give an illusion of depth by leading the eye up and out to the large old established trees from surrounding yards. The lovely English garden, Monument views, and a most desired Capitol Hill location close to Eastern Market and Metro create the ideal setting for convenient city living. One life…live it well, live it here!
