    First time on the market since 1981, this extraordinary and unique residence offers a rare opportunity to restore a truly iconic home to its original grandeur. Once a gathering place for Washington’s academic elite and the setting for a presidential fundraising event, this distinguished detached home is rich in history, architectural character, and timeless elegance. Perfectly positioned on a private lot overlooking Rock Creek Park and Smithsonian's National Zoo, the residence enjoys breathtaking treetop views and an unmatched sense of privacy, all while being moments from the vibrant restaurants, shops, parks, and Metro access of Adams Morgan and Mount Pleasant. Inside, generously proportioned rooms, soaring ceilings and exquisite original architectural details create an atmosphere of classic sophistication. You will feel suspended among the trees and capture spectacular park views in the stunning sunrooms off the living room, primary suite bedroom, and 3rd bedroom. The second level offers a luxurious owner’s suite complete with a fireplace, walk-in dressing area, and spa-inspired primary bathroom. An additional bedroom just across the hallway completes the floor. The third level features three bedrooms and an additional bathroom. The versatile lower level includes a fifth bedroom with a full kitchen and bathroom that has been used both for visitors and separately rented. With off-street parking for two cars, this home was designed to be both a quiet retreat and a place to entertain in the heart of the city. Wake to the calls of the gibbons and fall asleep to the distant roar of the lions — a truly one-of-a-kind offering in the heart of Washington, DC.
