    Stately Brick Home in Prestigious Observatory Circle. Located in the highly desirable and quiet Observatory Circle neighborhood of Northwest Washington, DC, this elegant semi-detached home offers timeless curb appeal and modern comfort. A classic brick (Wardman style) façade, manicured landscaping, and mature trees create a warm and welcoming first impression. Offering over 3,300 square feet of living space across four levels, this 1932 residence blends historic character with thoughtful updates. The main level features a gracious entry foyer leading to light-filled open living and dining areas with oak hardwood floors and a traditional fireplace. French doors open to a versatile study or reading retreat, while the beautifully renovated gourmet kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, ample cabinetry, and a large pantry. A sunroom overlooks the deck and lush backyard—ideal for morning coffee or casual dining. Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with an updated ensuite bath. The additional bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bath. The top level offers a large, flexible space perfect for a bedroom, playroom, home gym, or recreation area. The fully finished lower level includes a private guest suite complete with a kitchen, living area, bedroom, bath, and study—perfect for multi-generational living, an au pair, or potential rental income. A two-car garage, carport, and driveway provide ample parking. The landscaped grounds are framed by wrought iron fencing, brick pillars, and garden spaces ideal for outdoor enjoyment.
