A designer powder room with a custom stenciled floor by artist Marcus Pluntke completes the main level. Upstairs, the second floor boasts four well-appointed bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite. This private retreat includes two walk-in closets, en-suite bathroom, a stunning circular sitting room with gas fireplace, walls of windows with privacy shades, a private office, and a secluded balcony overlooking the backyard. The third floor provides three additional bedrooms and a full bath with skylight, plus a spacious bonus room—perfect for guests, play, or creative use. Outdoors, a professionally landscaped backyard offers a flagstone patio, green space, and privacy-enhancing plantings, all supported by a full irrigation system. A two-car garage is conveniently attached via portico. With 9-foot ceilings throughout most of the home, abundant natural light, and an ideal balance of formal and informal spaces, this residence is an extraordinary offering in one of DC’s most refined enclaves. A rare opportunity to own a classic yet expansive home in Wesley Heights.
