***You're Invited: Catered Open Houses Saturday 11AM-1PM, Sunday 3-5PM***Every Once in a While, You Come Across a Life-Changing Home. Tucked into the tree lined calm of Forest Hills yet moments from Connecticut Avenue’s buzz, this all-brick Georgian stunner is not just turnkey, it’s transformed. With more than $200,000 in smart, elegant upgrades completed in 2025 alone, this is the kind of home that doesn’t ask you to compromise. It invites you to stretch out, breathe deep, and stay awhile.

Let’s start with the first impression: classic Federal style, beautifully maintained. A stately double-door entrance sets the tone, opening into an interior so refreshed it practically sparkles. The hardwood floors were refinished and re-stained in 2025, and the bright white walls and crisp crown molding pull in natural light from the brand-new triple-pane windows (all 24 of them, installed in 2025 with a transferable lifetime warranty).

The main level was designed to be lived in and loved: a fireplace-centered living room with timeless elegance, a formal dining space with just enough formality, and a flex-ready library or home office complete with built-ins and a sleek wet bar. And then, the kitchen, a total reinvention. Completed in 2025, it’s the kind of space that makes people who don’t cook suddenly want to host Thanksgiving. Quartz counters, deep storage, double wall ovens, and counter seating that flows directly into a peaceful covered deck, perfect for morning coffee or after-dinner drinks in total privacy, surrounded by bamboo and evergreens.

Upstairs, the primary suite is your own private sanctuary. The ensuite bath was completely renovated in 2025 into a spa-inspired retreat, featuring a frameless marble shower with integrated bench, stylish vanity, and room to exhale. Across the hall, secondary bedrooms are tucked away and generously sized, with fresh fixtures and new ceiling fans (2023) to keep things comfortable year-round.

The walk-out lower level? Fully renovated in 2025 and incredibly versatile. A second fireplace warms up the open rec room, with private entrance with shaded brick patio and secure gate, ideal for four-legged companions. There's ample space for a media lounge, home gym, or even guest quarters. Down here you’ll also find a rebuilt laundry room with new washer/dryer (2025), direct access to the oversized two-car garage with newly insulated belt-drive doors (2025), and enough built-in storage to keep everything tucked away neatly.

Behind the scenes, this home runs as efficiently as it lives. A new 75-gallon water heater (2025) keeps showers long and laundry easy. The entire home was insulated for energy efficiency in 2023. Upgraded FIOS ensures your Zoom calls and streaming sessions run without a hitch. Even the toilets were replaced in 2023, every detail has been considered.

And the location? It’s tucked into a quiet, community-maintained quad with no through streets and no traffic noise, an ideal setting for privacy, relaxation, and outdoor enjoyment. Conveniently located near Forest Hills Park and less than a block from Connecticut Avenue, where some of D.C.’s best local restaurants, cafés, and shops await. Stroll to neighborhood favorites like Politics & Prose, Comet Ping Pong, or Breadfurst, or easily head to Rock Creek Park for a picnic or bike ride. Enjoy your community-maintained private escape, no traffic noise, no through streets, no compromises. ***This home features an assumable VA loan, offering a rare opportunity for qualified buyers to take advantage of a lower interest rate.***
