Uniquely one of a kind, the visual architecture of this home recalls traditional storybook romantic charm set in scenic forested hills overlooking historic Sligo Creek park. This perfect retreat from the city is just 8 miles from the White House offering quick access to all that the city offers, but remote enough to feel secluded and private providing quiet repose and restoration.
The tree-lined road that leads to the private drive is a prelude to the peaceful home atop the hill. Greeted by meditation gardens and a slate paved path to the front door, more than 5,000 sf of living space awaits inside. The welcoming quartz-floored entrance leads into an expansive entertainment room with wood burning fireplace, giant picture window views, soaring vaulted ceiling, shining hardwood floors and sunlit openness.
Entertainers are sure to enjoy the slate floored sunken dining room for large feasts next to the wood burning stove. The Tudor architecture is reflected in the overhead wooden ceiling beam accents, wood trim set against the contrasting texture of the original subtle hued brickwork walls and window views to the forested greenery.
The “tree top” screened in porch and BBQ deck off of the dining room are the perfect compliments to outdoor enjoyment and al fresco conversations in the woods.
This cook’s kitchen provides ease-of-service to all the entertaining areas. The kitchen was expanded and configured with heightened ceilings, custom poured concrete counters for durability, walls of custom utilitarian cabinets, professional stainless Viking gas stove with professional high speed stove exhaust venting to the exterior, stainless wall oven, stainless microwave and stainless refrigerator.
Restful nights begin in one of the four peaceful bedrooms, including the fourth level dedicated entirely to the private owner’s wing featuring large open space, vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, custom queen bed inset, walk-in dressing closet, separate lounge and hardwood floors. The conversation sitting area has a gas warming stove framed with stacked stone wall and picture window views to surrounding gardens.
The owner’s bath feels like a resort spa with mini ceramic tile flooring, soft green colors, brushed steel, wood accents, sauna to accommodate 1 to 4 persons, walk-in shower with a wall-to-wall stone seating bench, privacy glass door to water closet and dressing area. 
Working from home doesn’t get any better than here. This home has a professional office space on the main level with a separate, private entrance from carport. The lower level fourth bedroom suite could also be used as an office with its own private entrance. The home is equipped with high-speed internet and multi-line phone system with intercom for complete connectivity.
This remarkable home is truly one of a kind for the individual seeking to set themself apart with inspiration from a nature-rich retreat.
