Set on a prominent corner lot in Fort Washington's sought-after Tantallon North, this stately brick home makes a memorable first impression with custom steel double doors and a soaring two-story foyer. A coat closet and convenient powder room are tucked just off the entry, and gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout the main and upper levels, connecting formal and casual spaces designed for both everyday comfort and polished entertaining. The formal living room is accented by chair rail, recessed lighting, and a beautiful bow window, while the formal dining room features chair and crown molding, a bow window, and a striking chandelier. A butlers pantry with a wine rack creates a seamless transition to the gourmet kitchen and adds the kind of function you will appreciate when hosting. At the heart of the home, the kitchen offers abundant 42-inch cherry cabinetry, recessed lighting, and a granite-topped island with a gas downdraft cooktop and oven, complemented by a separate wall oven. A triple window over the sink frames peaceful backyard views, and the breakfast room with French door access invites easy indoor-outdoor living. Just off the breakfast area, the spacious family room centers around a handsome floor-to-ceiling brick hearth and wood-burning fireplace and opens through double doors to an exceptional home office fitted with custom cabinetry, built-in bookshelves, and three workstations. Everyday convenience continues through the mud room with washer, dryer, deep sink, and access to the finished garage, complete with insulated 9x7 Clopay doors and LiftMaster openers. Upstairs, retreat to an impressive primary suite featuring a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, a corner gas-log fireplace, and a generous sitting room, plus a spa-inspired bath highlighted by a jetted soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the upper level. The finished lower level expands your options with a recreation room, bar area, exercise room, a bonus room that can serve as a fifth bedroom, and a full bath. French doors open to an areaway that leads to the rear yard, creating a natural extension for entertaining and play.
