A rare combination of scale, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design-this residence defines luxury living in Observatory Circle. Another extraordinary complete transformation by WJ Development, this newly reimagined residence is perfectly sited at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac on one of the neighborhood's largest and flattest parcels. Offering 6 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, and approximately 6,050 total square feet, this home delivers refined living across four beautifully curated levels. The main level impresses with 9-foot ceilings, designer lighting, and a seamless open layout connecting the gourmet kitchen, family room, living room, and dining area-all leading to outdoor entertaining spaces. Custom cabinetry, luxury appliances, and elevated finishes create a kitchen that is both stunning and functional. The second level features four spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including a serene primary suite with a custom walk-in wardrobe room, spa-inspired bath, and separate laundry room. The top level offers a private lounge, additional bedroom and bath, and access to a large roof deck with sweeping treetop views. The fully finished lower level includes a generous recreation room, bedroom, and full bath-ideal for guests, wellness space, or a separate retreat. A rare offering in the city, the property includes a detached three-car garage with a beautifully appointed apartment suite above, complete with its own walk-out deck-perfect for guests, an office, or an additional living area. Set on a 0.20-acre flat lot, the outdoor spaces provide exceptional room for outdoor activities, gardening, or future enhancements-something seldom found in DC. Moments from the shops and restaurants of Glover Park, the National Cathedral, and Cathedral Commons, this home offers both convenience and tranquility in a premier location.
