2806 27TH STREET, Washington, DC 20008

Open Sunday, June 28, from 1-3pm. There are homes that impress, and there are homes that simply make you want to stay. Thoughtfully updated over the years while honoring its original character, 2806 27th Street NW is one of those rare residences where timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship and everyday livability come together effortlessly. A welcoming front porch introduces gracious interiors with generous ceiling heights, beautiful millwork, expansive walls perfectly lit by professional designer Marilyn Stern that lets the architecture and artwork take center stage. At the heart of the home, the 2018 kitchen by renowned designer Jennifer Gilmer pairs handcrafted tile, richly layered cabinetry and a premium appliance suite by Miele and Sub-Zero with a dramatic wall of glass that dissolves the boundary between indoors and out. The adjoining stone terrace feels like a natural extension of the living space, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or quiet mornings surrounded by mature magnolia and crape myrtle trees. The private rear garden is a true hidden sanctuary. Framed by stacked stone walls and lush landscaping, the flagstone terrace surrounds a tranquil koi pond with a gentle waterfall whose soothing sound drifts through open windows on warm evenings. It is difficult to believe such a peaceful retreat exists just moments from the Metro, Rock Creek Park, neighborhood restaurants, cafés and some of Washington’s most beloved schools. Upstairs, the owner’s suite has been beautifully enhanced with a spa-inspired bath completed after 2020 featuring heated floors, handmade tile, a luxurious wet room with soaking tub and shower, floating double vanity and abundant custom storage. New wall-to-wall New Zealand wool carpeting adds warmth and comfort throughout the bedroom level. Every detail reflects careful stewardship, from updated HVAC, upgraded hardware throughout in polished nickel and brass, and custom-built storage integrated into the living room and entry to simplify everyday family life while preserving the home’s elegant aesthetic. A fully finished lower level with kitchenette and full bath offers outstanding flexibility for guests, extended family or an au pair, while two off-street parking spaces complete this exceptional offering. Perfectly positioned between Woodley Park, Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, Kalorama and Rock Creek Park, this is a home that offers not simply an exceptional location, but an exceptional way of living.
