On a tree-lined street, this brick Victorian in a residential section of Georgetown is perfectly located between the shops and restaurants of Wisconsin Avenue and Volta Park, the neighborhood green space with its pool, tennis courts, fun tot lot, and dog run. The interior was designed by Sanford Bond, a well-respected architect, and the renovation was done by John Richardson, a respected local contractor. The house has an open floor plan and is filled with light from east and west exposures. The very high ceilings, high-end finishes, and abundant sunlight combine to give the house a chic comfortable feel. The entry level is an open floor plan that includes the living room, dining room, and a brand-new kitchen. The entry begins with a wall of custom built-in cabinets and bookshelves. The living room has a large sitting area and a wonderful bay nook, large enough for chairs or a big table. Wrapped around this are oversized windows with the latest and most effective modern shades. Beyond the charming staircase is a new top of the line Scavolini kitchen which includes the Tandembox intivo drawer system, a Bosch convection-microwave speed oven, a Miele ventilation system, an electric Bosch oven and cooktop and a large Bosch built-in refrigerator. The kitchen is open to the dining area. Here too are oversized windows that overlook the manicured garden. The red brick walls and arched door to the alley walkway give an enchanting touch to the private garden and the flagstone patio is nicely functional and provides a very nice view from the house. There is also a very secure, and versatile bike locker installed off the patio with convenient access through the pedestrian alley to P street. Upstairs is the primary bedroom, with views of the sky through its large windows that wrap around a functional bay, big enough for furniture. Its closets are modern and substantial - three double sets from floor to ceiling, each with two hanging rods and multiple shelves and a new Elfa drawer system. The second bedroom is sweet and could also make a nice office. Both rooms connect to a big marble and stainless bathroom with a large double vanity of Carrera marble. There is a shower with tub, utility closet, and convenient washer/dryer. Only partially below grade with the same oversized windows in both the front and the back, there is great light and high ceilings in the lower level too. There is a separate front entrance, and the rest of the room replicates the living room above with high ceilings, custom built-ins and cabinets and loads of storage space. Here is an excellent family room complete with a high efficiency wood stove and quality wall-to-wall wool carpeting. Beyond the staircase is the guest room. This room has tons of natural light and a door to the garden. The en-suite bath is marble and stainless with a large shower and deep open closet. Anyone would be pleased to have a guest stay here.
