This stunning property has a defined French County style. It resembles the beautiful architectural style of New Orleans with the wrought iron veranda, stucco facade and multi-leveled brick terraces and walkways. You are welcomed by the detached garage and studio/home office w/loft which copies the roof line of the home itself. This design has the same influence as the main structure. Lamplights and brick walkways greet you on both sides of the entry. The entry foyer is simply stunning. A large 2 story foyer with a large period chandelier greets you. Welcome to the by-gone era of classic elegance. The main level offers a reception foyer, formal dining room with pass through/built-ins, Kitchen with Island/bar area + pass through/built-ins leads to a sunroom with cathedral ceiling and lots of windows overlooking the landscaped yard, woods and the Potomac River. Two exits to patios, decks and porch make this perfect for gatherings. You will also find a den/home office, full bath and bedroom on this level. Ascend the grand staircase - which overlooks the 2 story foyer - and you will find French doors leading to a 55' balcony w/ scenic views of the Potomac River and protected woods. A large 26' x 15' living room w/ gas fireplace also has French doors leading to the balcony. Just off the living room is a wet bar to make entertaining a breeze. There are two additional bedrooms - 1 with French doors leading to the balcony and the primary bedroom w/en-suite bath with an air bubble soaking tub. The bath is also accessed via the hall. The house was custom built by the original owner - a known builder in the DC area. Likeness is that of the Willard Hotel as that was the project he was renovating at the time this house was being built. It boasts thick walls, brick, stucco, cinderblock, large 8 & 9 ceilings (even in attic). The door, window and accent trim is larger and more detailed than usual as it defines custom. The doors are solid wood and accented with unique hardware. French doors to veranda are equipped with sash locks. The heat is radiant and floors are hardwood, Italian ceramic and carpet. You simply will not find anything in the Fort Washington area the has the old world charm that this home offers. It is truly unique in every way. Located near the very popular Fort Foote Park....which was the last stronghold post protecting Washington DC. Walking down the public pathways in the park leads you to the shoreline of the Potomac River. The front and northwest side of the home gives a beautiful panoramic view of the Potomac River. You can enjoy watching the peaceful whitecaps and watch the boat traffic as you enjoy an evening in front of the fire pit on the second level of the terrace or from the very private veranda. The landscape is typical of the historic period of the home with plenty of English boxwoods and azaleas and many other seasonal flowering plants. Amazing sunsets are sure to please. Easy access to National Harbor, I-95/495/295 makes shopping, dining and commuting a breeze (you are 3 stoplights away from Washington DC and Northern Virginia).
