Storybook elegance presented in pristine, move-in-ready condition, this impeccably updated 4BR/4.5BA manor residence on coveted Linnean Avenue in Forest Hills seamlessly blends timeless architecture with sophisticated modern refinement. Defined by a rare balance of tranquil residential seclusion and immediate urban accessibility, this setting in Forest Hills is among Washington's most desired. Designed for both elegant entertaining and effortless daily living, the main level features gracious formal living and dining rooms, a chef's kitchen with professional-grade appliances, and seamless access to an expansive outdoor Trex deck with pergola and professionally designed perennial gardens. The second level has three spacious bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms. The primary bedroom features a vaulted-ceiling and tranquil, spa inspired bathroom. This level also includes convenient laundry access. The lower level offers an expansive family recreation room or fitness studio, fourth bedroom or private office, and full bath. A private walk-out driveway accommodates three vehicles, includes Level 2 EV charging, and offers additional storage beneath the deck. Enhanced by integrated Lutron smart lighting, curated hardscaping, irrigation, and landscape design by an Architectural Digest-recognized designer, the property delivers a striking indoor-outdoor experience both day and evening. Meticulously maintained and extensively upgraded, including historic brick repointing, new entry doors, premium Miele and Viking appliances, smart-home automation, and significant exterior enhancements, this turnkey residence is truly move-in ready. One of this home's defining advantages is its immediate proximity to Rock Creek Park, offering miles of scenic trails and natural beauty just beyond the doorstep, while remaining moments from Metro, neighborhood dining, and daily conveniences. Zoned for Murch Elementary, Deal Middle School, and Jackson-Reed High School and close to most all of DC's premier private schools.
