1810 PLYMOUTH St NW

Ideally located on a tree-lined street near Rock Creek Park in DC's sought-after Colonial Village neighborhood, this is a very special residence offering lovely, large, updated living spaces and is set on a lush lot with mature gardens. Perfect for entertaining and comfortable daily living, the home offers a taste of history as a modernized reproduction of a 1760 Maryland country house with notes of Colonial Williamsburg. The current owners have worked with its historic theme through the installation of unique features including hand-crafted 18th century poplar paneling, floor to ceiling paneling, decorative ceilings and an oak-paneled Jacobean addition with lead-glass windows. The home's impressive Foyer leads to the grand Living Room with a high detailed ceiling, one of four working fireplaces, exquisite panelling and trim, and beautiful wooden flooring. The Dining Room provides a luxurious space for entertaining. A cozy formal Library with fireplace and built-ins graces the main level. The recently renovated Kitchen comes with an alcove for the chef's supplies and an exit to the lovely garden. Located just off the Kitchen is the Family Room, a large space with a breakfast area and fireplace;; this room was converted from a garage by the previous owners. Upstairs, there are four large bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a wonderful, large Primary Bedroom with fireplace and its own balcony overlooking the garden. The lower level of the home provides a large recreation space with access to the very private back yard with gardens and patio. An outsized Williamsburg-style outbuilding with electricity may serve as a shed or be used creatively. New roof and gutters are among the numerous upgrades made by the conscientious owners, making this house ready for its new owners, who would be its third since 1934. Open House Sunday 1:30 to 4:00 PM.
