Offering the ultimate in gracious style, this six-bedroom home in Washington’s desirable Spring Valley welcomes you with open arms. Perched on a corner double lot, the brick Colonial with lush lawns and landscaping, is ideally located on a sun-dappled cul-de-sac complemented by gracious trees. Stepping into the big front foyer with its curved staircase, a classic multi-level layout begins to unfold, with beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings, crown molding, and huge windows allowing natural light to create an airy ambiance.

The main living level features a gorgeous living room with fireplace, huge dining room with wainscoting, and a wonderful family room with white brick accents, charming bays, floor-to-ceiling windows, and sliders leading out to the picturesque patio. The gourmet kitchen boasts upgraded gray stone counters, white cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, including a recently purchased fridge and dishwasher. A tranquil sunroom is perfect for reading or morning coffee, while a main-level bedroom with a fireplace and ensuite bath is currently used as the ultimate work-from-home office.

There are three large bedrooms on the first upper level, including an exquisite owners’ suite with sunny exposures on two sides, wooden shutters, and a lovely ensuite white tile bath. The other bedrooms at this level share a dual-entry blue tile bath with a pedestal sink, big step-in glass shower, and a window. Up at the top are two more adorable bedrooms, a full bath, and attic access. There has been no attention spared to detail with so many beautiful architectural touches throughout the home. A spacious basement with a half-bath, washer and dryer, garage access, and a door to the outside, offers even more possibilities.

Outdoor spaces are integral to the property’s appeal, with enchanting front, back, and side yards, a patio, and garden hedges. The home is built on a slight rise with low stone retaining walls along Sedgwick Streets and terraced stone steps leading to a magnificent front door with an elaborate stone surround. A driveway and an attached garage provide yet another convenience. Numerous updates include an elegant and recently replaced slate roof, copper gutters, and recently replaced HVAC with Bryant/Carrier furnaces.

Tucked up against Dalecarlia Reservoir and the Maryland border, Spring Valley is also easily accessible to downtown DC. The highly regarded Northwest enclave is home to American University and the local Spring Valley Park. In addition to the community’s leafy allure, residents enjoy a handful of businesses along Massachusetts Avenue, including Millie’s Spring Valley restaurant, Wagshal’s Market, Starbucks, Compass Coffee, and Pizzeria Paradiso.
