About the Listing KWCP1 - 131321

POOL & RESORT VIBES IN CENTRAL DC! Set on an exceptional, flat, south-facing lot, near the tranquility Rock Creek Park and excellent public transportation, this fully renovated and expanded Wardman residence offers a rare combination of scale, privacy, and resort-style outdoor living in one of Washington’s most coveted hidden enclaves. The outdoor experience alone places this property in a category of its own: a magazine-caliber rear yard anchored by a 14’ x 28’ heated pool, expansive travertine terraces, and mature, professionally landscaped grounds with integrated lighting and irrigation. A detached two-car garage and additional structures complete this unusually large and functional urban estate. Inside, the home seamlessly blends historic character with modern luxury. A classic center-hall layout opens to gracious formal living and dining spaces, while the rear of the home is designed for everyday living and entertaining—featuring a sun-drenched family room, French doors to the deck, and a chef’s kitchen equipped with GE Monogram appliance and custom finishes. The upper levels deliver both scale and retreat. Four spacious bedrooms and renovated baths occupy the second floor, while the top-level owner’s suite—constructed by Landis in 2014—serves as a true sanctuary, with vaulted ceilings, dramatic skylighting, exposed beams, and a spa-quality bath with heated floors, dual vanities, and an oversized walk-in shower. The fully finished lower level functions as a private guest or in-law suite, complete with a bedroom, full bath, second kitchen, and dedicated living space. Extensive capital improvements—including dual-zoned HVAC, underground drainage, and a 50-year slate roof—ensure turnkey ownership, while custom details such as plantation shutters and original stained glass preserve the home’s architectural integrity. A rare offering defined by land, light, and livability—properties of this caliber seldom come to market in Crestwood.
