Property Description

Open House cancelled - under contract. One of the larger, two-bedroom residences at the prestigious Liberty Row community, this 1,769 sq ft, 2-bed, 2½-bath plus office, top-floor home faces inward from the city bustle — quiet, private, and canopied by a magnificent old oak. Two deeded garage spaces sit directly beside the elevator vestibule, because convenience shouldn't require a hike. The architecture earns its keep. A formal foyer sets the tone, leading to two graceful arched openings to reveal the office/den. A wall of custom built-ins, dedicated desk space, and a TV-ready opening make it as functional as it is handsome. *** In the hallway to the right of the office is a lighted shelf for the things you love, serving as a welcome to the primary suite. Essentially a private wing, the ensuite bedroom feels like a private sanctuary, with a wall of French doors and windows across from two walk-in closets, and bath with double vanity, soaking tub plus a stall shower. On the opposite end of the home (privacy was clearly a priority for the designer), the second bedroom sits alongside a full bath with tub shower. *** At the center of it all: a sprawling living area that does serious work. The gourmet kitchen features a serving bar — a clever detail that keeps the dinner party magic intact even when the cooking is anything but. A dedicated laundry room off the kitchen pulls double duty as pantry overflow. The living room anchors around a gas fireplace with mantle, flanked by built-ins. Two sets of French doors (new in about 2021) with Juliet balconies and a third glass door to the balcony bring in abundant light. The adjacent dining area is genuinely large enough for the table you've always wanted, lit by a contemporary crystal chandelier that earns a second glance. *** Liberty Row is an established, highly sought after, upscale community close to Old Town's shops, restaurants, waterfront, and historic sights — with Reagan National minutes away and DC just beyond that. Check out this gem of a home and make it yours!
