Fully detached residence in the heart of North Cleveland Park/Van Ness! This deeply cherished home awaits your personal touches and design vision. Exceptionally unique property, available for the first time in nearly four decades! Marvelous corner lot across from Sheridan School, backs to quiet park-like setting of Van Ness' very own embassy row. Inside, the main-level living area features loads of character w/ built-ins, cozy window seat, and fireplace. Formal dining leads to spacious bright kitchen with additional table space for more casual meals. Kitchen leads out to a first-floor office with fireplace and French doors looking over the exclusive backyard oasis w/ stone patio. Thus begins the expansive two-story addition with separate entrance, private stairway, and full bath; providing a multitude of uses for two home office spaces, in-law suite, or au pair accommodations. Calling all bookworms; the second story has a cozy hall reading nook with French doors and built-in shelving, while the primary bedroom focal point is the stunning wall of custom wood shelves with library ladder! This level of the home features 4 total bedrooms, 2 full baths, and many storage closets. Huge skylights and windows make the upper addition bedroom really shine. This room could also serve as a second-floor family room; as it's large enough for a sectional couch, or for primary bedroom suite furnishings! Finished lower level has tile flooring, an additional full bath, washer/dryer, and loads of storage space. Off-street parking for two cars, yet street parking is a breeze on this quiet block! Convenience mere minutes from your door w/ two redline Metros, bus lines, UDC/Van Ness Farmers Market, Bread Furst, Sfoglina, Mom's Organic, Whole Foods, Target, Giant, ETC.
