Set within the prestigious enclave of Phillips Park, 2101 Foxhall Road NW is a compelling study in enduring design. Conceived through a collaboration between award-winning Barnes Vanze Architects and built under the exacting eye of Richard Zantzinger, the residence spans 6,600 square feet of refined living space where classical architecture meets modern livability.
Sited on a private 0.26-acre lot, a crescent driveway creates a gracious approach and introduces the home’s light brick façade, wrought-iron detailing, and flowing gables. An arched front door, recessed within a concrete portico, opens to a vestibule flanked by coat closets and an elegant foyer anchored by a sweeping staircase.
The interiors balance grand entertaining with comfortable daily living. Wide-plank white oak floors with integrated vents and layered custom moldings reflect a high level of craftsmanship throughout. Formal rooms, arranged in a classic center hall layout, are both elegant and inviting. The living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and defined by a moody palette, offers a sophisticated, lounge-like atmosphere. It connects to a private study with floor-to-ceiling millwork and picture lighting, while French doors open seamlessly to the terrace beyond.
The dining room, wrapped in grasscloth wallpaper and illuminated by a bay window, feels light and refined, with direct access to the kitchen through a fully equipped butler’s pantry.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen and family spaces unfold as a cohesive, open layout designed for gathering. An oversized leathered marble island anchors the kitchen, complemented by a SubZero and Wolf appliance suite and integrated storage. The adjoining family room and breakfast area are filled with natural light and open directly to the terrace and garden.
Upstairs, accessible via the grand staircase or an all-level elevator, the primary suite serves as a private retreat. The marble-clad bath features a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, dual vanities, and a separate water closet. Two custom dressing rooms complete the suite. A central sitting area connects to two secondary bedrooms, each generously scaled and appointed with ensuite marble baths.
The top level offers two additional bedrooms, a hall bath, and a flexible common area, with dormer windows framing sweeping views.
The lower level includes a spacious recreation room, a sixth bedroom with a full bath, a laundry room, and direct access to the oversized two-car garage.
Outdoors, a flagstone terrace anchors the rear garden, which is private, tranquil, and well suited for both entertaining and quiet retreat.
Located just moments from Georgetown and downtown Washington, 2101 Foxhall Road NW represents a rare combination of design, quality, and livability in one of the Capital Region’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
