Property Description
Set deeply back from coveted Gravers Lane, this unique home offers the elusive combination of "Top of the Hill" convenience and complete, immersive privacy, defined by an extraordinary quarter-acre garden oasis that is truly rare for a home of this manageable scale. Functioning like a private, four-season treehouse where the home's ample windows frame spectacular views of nature at every turn, this meticulously cared-for home, one of the last of the storied Woodward builds, is a true gardener's paradise that feels blissfully disconnected from the outside world. Wander down the long stone path from Gravers Lane, flanked by lush plantings and a striking paperbark maple tree, to arrive at the home's entrance. The seamless connection between the interior and these gorgeous grounds is established on the main level, where a roomy foyer with a convenient coat closet and powder room leads to an open-layout living and dining space. The living room features two walls of striking windows which frame the lush landscape, and a cozy gas fireplace surrounded by custom built-in shelving. Just steps away, the ample dining area transitions beautifully to the outdoors via French doors, leading to a stone-paved side patio perfectly positioned for al fresco dining or quiet afternoons lounging beneath the weeping cherry tree. The recently refreshed kitchen is well-equipped with brand new stainless steel appliances, and was utilized as the home kitchen of a professional chef. A convenient door opens right out to a beautiful brick-paved patio, perfect for grilling. Upstairs, the home's elevated treehouse vibe comes alive across three bright bedrooms that offer sweeping views of the canopy and garden below, including a serene primary suite with an en suite bathroom and a second full bath off the hallway. The finished lower level functions beautifully as a rec room or fitness space, directly adjacent to a clean, dry utility area, dedicated laundry room, and a large storage pantry equipped with wine storage. Back outside, the expansive, street-to-street grounds slope gently behind the house, weaving together a lush tapestry of mature shade plants, Japanese maples, hydrangeas, hostas, and more. At the rear of the home, a meandering path is anchored by a stately Katsura tree at its center. Heavy foliage and mature forsythia block the rear cul-de-sac of Sunrise Lane from view for most of the year, amplifying the sense of total seclusion. Conveniently located just to the side of the home, a detached garage offers ample space for parking, plus a full second level for storage. The driveway can host two additional vehicles. 126 W Gravers Lane is a peaceful, plant-filled sanctuary that feels worlds away from everything, yet is positioned just an easy stroll from the charming bustle, boutiques, and dining of Germantown Avenue.
