Set on a deep, beautifully gardened lot in the heart of Wakefield/Tenleytown — one of upper Northwest DC's most established neighborhoods — this center-hall brick Colonial offers generous rooms, three finished levels, and outdoor space rarely found in the District. Five bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, freshly painted throughout and move-in ready.
A gracious foyer opens to a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room, sized for ten, flows into the home's showstopping glass conservatory/sunroom — a peaked-roof addition with panoramic garden views, family-room-sized and light-filled year-round, with a retractable awning for warmer months. The kitchen is appointed with solid cherry cabinetry, granite counters, gas cooking, paneled built-in refrigeration, and a breakfast bar. A main-level office/den and a powder room complete the floor.
Upstairs, four generous bedrooms with hardwood floors and large closets include a primary suite with en-suite bath; a full hall bath serves the additional bedrooms, and a pull-down staircase reaches a floored attic for copious storage.
The bright, renovated walkout lower level adds real flexibility: a spacious family room with white built-ins and a second wood-burning fireplace, a fifth bedroom, and a third full bath — ideal as a guest, in-law, or au pair suite — opening to a screened porch beneath the conservatory.
Recent improvements include a new roof and gutters, owned solar panels, and an EV charger. Outside, mature trees, a level rear lawn, terraced garden beds, and multi-tier brick walkways surround an upper deck and screened porch. A private two-car driveway off the rear alley includes the EV charger, and alley trash collection keeps the streetscape clean — no curbside bins out front.
Walk to Tenleytown Metro (Red Line) and the Connecticut Avenue corridor — Politics & Prose, Comet Ping Pong, Call Your Mother, and Buck's Fishing & Camping — with Hearst Park and Pool nearby, Friendship Heights and Bethesda minutes north, and Rock Creek Park a short drive east. In-bounds for Murch Elementary, Deal Middle, and Jackson-Reed High School. A special home that lives large and feels like a retreat.
