Townhouse for sale in Washington, DC
for $1,649,900 with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, 1 half bath. This 2,800 square foot townhouse was built in 1942.
Tucked within the intimate Waterside Drive enclave in prestigious Kalorama Heights, this beautifully renovated and expanded residence offers a rare combination of architectural distinction, privacy, and exceptional convenience. Directly across from Rock Creek Park, the home enjoys serene views of its lush canopy while remaining moments from the best of the city. The defining architectural feature is the extraordinary two-story glass additiona dramatic, light-filled element that is truly the centerpiece of the home. Soaring walls of glass create a remarkable sense of openness and provide a striking contemporary counterpoint to the homes classic character. The entry level is designed for both gracious entertaining and comfortable everyday living, with expansive living and dining spaces, rich hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and two inviting fireplaces. The beautifully appointed kitchen combines sophisticated design with excellent functionality, while front windows frame picturesque views across Waterside Drive to Rock Creek Park. A powder room completes this level. Originally a three-bedroom residence, the home has been seamlessly reconfigured as an exceptionally spacious two-bedroom. The second level features a generous family room and expansive office with direct garden access, along with a full bathproviding the flexibility to use the office as an additional bedroom if desired. Upstairs are two bedrooms, including the spacious primary, and a beautifully renovated full bath. A large attic offers the potential for future expansion into an additional finished level, as neighboring homes have done. At the rear, the stunning landscaped garden feels like a natural continuation of the park setting out front. Lush, private, and beautifully maintained, it creates a hidden oasis for outdoor dining and entertaining. With Rock Creek Park from the front windows and this exceptional garden behind, the home is enveloped in greenery. Although Waterside Drive has no formal HOA, neighbors contribute a moderate annual amount toward shared landscaping and snow removal. The property also includes one guaranteed parking space, plus additional guest parking. This peaceful enclave feels remarkably removed from the city, yet popular restaurants and neighborhood destinations in Kalorama and Dupont are within walking distance. Georgetown and downtown are minutes away, and with Rock Creek Parkway directly across the street, access throughout the city and to Reagan National Airport is exceptionally convenient. Architecturally distinctive and beautifully renovated, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the intimacy of a hidden enclave, the beauty of Rock Creek Park, and sophisticated city living in one of Washingtons most coveted neighborhoods.
