Property Description
Some people wait years to find the ideal spot on sought-after Potomac Avenue in Northwest DC with western sunset views overlooking the Potomac River. Fortunately, the meticulous preparation and planning was undertaken by THE DC DREAM team -- award-winning Thomson & Cooke Architects, Scribe Development and WT Construction. Perched on a high, lush and private 9,000+ SF corner lot, this iconic home was custom renovated to deliver 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths in the impressive main residence including a 1-car garage and a private pool oasis with terraced hardscaping. The main floor delivers with a gracious foyer, formal living and dining rooms, an office or music room with a grand picture window, a family room that leads out the private yard with french doors, and the heart of the home: a gourmet chef's kitchen with an ample island, custom-hand made cabinetry, high-end stainless appliances, and an eat in dining area with a custom bay window. This special property also includes a charming, brick guest / pool house with a 6th bedroom, full bath, kitchen and living area -- flexible for numerous uses: an au pair or in law suite, private guest quarters, an office/business, or use as an ADU / rentable unit. The hallmark of this sought-after team is to bring truly special properties back to life with meticulous attention to detail - signature finishes, custom cabinetry, hand-crafted tile, and bespoke design selections. The floor plan has an ideal flow for how we live and work today with windows on all sides that take advantage of the natural light that floods the space throughout the day. The freshly painted warm white exterior and warm beige tones on the shutters is inviting and beckons visitors up to the genteel wrap-around porch and across the threshold into a home that seamlessly blends modern upgrades with vintage detailing, charm and history. The location is ideal -- easily accessible to major commuter routes, downtown DC and Northern Virginia, as well as award-winning dining favorites like Et Voila, Black Coffee, Lupo Verde, Claudio's Table, and Black Salt and close to the Palisades Rec Center, Battery Kemble park, weekly farmer market, tennis and basketball courts, Capital Crescent Trail, C&O towpath, shopping, and much more. Welcome home to 5445 Potomac Avenue.
