Brimming with charm and ease in the heart of leafy Forest Hills, this beautifully maintained four-bedroom, three-bath home delivers that rare blend of polish and practicality. From the sunny front porch that welcomes morning coffee to the expansive back patio that practically begs for dinner under the stars, surrounded by lush gardens and flowering shrubs. Inside, the main level is light-filled and gracious, with generous room sizes, hardwood floors, crown molding, and wide doorway. The flow of the main floor is what captivates the moment you arrive through the front door. The living room is entered on a classic fireplace, flanked by built-ins, while the open-concept kitchen and dining area, complete with a built-in buffet, creates an easy rhythm for everyday life and entertaining. The adjacent family room opens directly to the patio, offering seamless indoor and outdoor flow. Three bedrooms and two fully renovated baths on this level keep things simple and smart. The finished lower level enjoys a fourth bedroom and full bath, a recreation room, a private entrance, ample storage, and laundry. Welcome home to this tranquil retreat offering quality craftsmanship, luxury, and convenience in the heart of D.C.'s Northwest quadrant with local restaurants, shopping, culture, and Rock Creek Park nearby. Forest Hills: A beautiful residential area located in the Northwest quadrant of D.C., Forest Hills is the best of all worlds. Deriving its name from the oak and maple trees that elegantly line the streets, Forest Hills offer grand estates to humble ramblers, all nestled between Rock Creek Park, Soapstone Valley Park, and the restaurants and shopping along Connecticut Avenue. Enjoy a nice fresh pastry and coffee at the Bread Furst bakery, or hide away for an intimate dinner at Sfoglina Italian restaurant, your home is just steps to Comet Ping Pong Pizzeria, Politics and Prose, or Sugar Fox. The Washington Post says, “You have everything from large estate houses from the early 1900s to contemporary houses from well-known architects to small, 1920s houses that are fixer-uppers.” There is a home for everyone here at Forest Hills.
