So rarely does such a special home come on the market, that it can be called a "forever home." The site of egg hunts, birthday parties, large holiday gatherings, and teenage sleepovers, this stately home is only on the market for the second time in almost 60 years. As you drive up, you will notice the commanding presence this home has on it's half acre wooded lot backing to Fort Hunt Park. Professionally landscaped yard and gorgeous brick walkways greet your guests. Step inside and be welcomed by the grand center foyer and beautiful hardwood flooring. Spacious open spaces offer flexible options for entertaining and family living. Chefs kitchen is truly the heart of the home with quartz counters, white cabinetry and stainless appliances. The main level has a dedicated office with private entrance, and large living, family and dining spaces with easy access to the screened porch and gorgeous yard beyond. Upstairs you will find a large owner's suite with seasonal views of the Potomac river, warm recessed lighting, a large walk-in closet, and to-die-for en-suite bathroom. The owners' suite even has access to the large front balcony which is perfect for having your morning coffee, evening cocktail, or throwing beads to your guests at your Mardi Gras party!
