The interior of this sophisticated West Village home is a beautiful surprise and an entertainer's dream -- ALMOST 4700 SQUARE FEET (including finished lower level), full of character and light, with large rooms, high ceilings, tall windows, and graceful architectural detailing. The home is ideally located in upper Georgetown, just a block from the tennis courts, pool and playing fields of Volta Park, close to the library, to Safeway and Trader Joe's, and to all the shops and restaurants of Georgetown. On the first floor, a wide, spacious entry offers a view into the magnificent, embassy-like living room with an almost 12-foot ceiling, elegant marble fireplace, and French doors to a charming private garden with a water feature. The second floor has an open cook's kitchen, dining room, sitting room and library (or bedroom or office) plus a full bath. A two-story atrium floods the space with natural light and provides a sheltered oasis for urban herbs or flowering plants. On the top level are three spacious, light-filled bedrooms and two full baths. The versatile lower level has a huge carpeted room with a fireplace and exterior door to the garden -- the perfect family room, home office, workout space, or movie studio. There is also another bedroom on this level, a full bath with steam shower and several spacious storage areas. A large garage at the front of the house opens directly into the foyer. This is an extraordinary house -- and the best value in Georgetown! Perfect for diplomats who entertain in grand style, growing families who require space and proximity to schools and playgrounds, suburban down sizers looking for an elegant city home, and everyone in between.
