Historic Elegance Meets Modern Comfort in This Idyllic Urban Retreat!

Welcome to one of the most captivating, historic homes in Glover Park – a renovated 1895 historic farmhouse that seamlessly blends timeless charm with today’s luxuries said to be one of the first homes in Glover Park. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined block, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath gem offers three full levels of finished living space plus a basement (laundry and storage), exceptional craftsmanship, and a sense of warmth and soul that’s increasingly rare.

From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by intimate energy generated by the original plank pine floors, high ceilings, and beautifully restored architectural details that tell the story of the home’s rich history. The gracious living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, flows effortlessly into a formal dining space designed for lively dinners and intimate gatherings.

The heart of the home is a sun-drenched, gourmet eat-in kitchen with a center island overlooking the tranquil, private English Garden, where classic design meets modern function. Outfitted with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and custom cabinetry, it’s a space that invites both creativity, connection and relaxation. Nearby, a spacious family room with a second fireplace offers a cozy retreat for movie nights, reading, or hosting guests.

On the upper floors, you’ll find three well-proportioned bedrooms, plus a third-floor bedroom with its own private vibe—perfect as a guest room, artist loft, or home office. Even more compelling: the attic offers significant potential to add an additional bedroom and bathroom, creating even additional value and flexibility for future needs.

The true magic of this home, however, lies just beyond the back door.

Step into your own private sanctuary: a lush, landscaped garden, designed for serenity and inspiration. At the center is a tranquil fishpond, where the gentle sound of water creates a calming escape from the everyday. Whether you’re enjoying morning coffee on the brick patio that is surrounded by unique lion hitching posts, or hosting friends under the stars as the sun sets, this garden is a rare and beautiful outside extension of the wonderful living space inside the home. A detached two-car garage offers convenience without compromising style or backyard.

While the home feels like a hidden retreat, it’s just one block away from the vibrant energy of local cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and neighborhood favorites in Glover Park and just a short stroll to Georgetown and all the fun and entertainment it has to offer. Here, you can truly walk to everything—yet return home to complete peace and quiet. Walk Score: 90 – Daily errands to not require a car.
The home’s close proximity to public transport and DC’s thoroughfares into Virginia and Maryland, as well as the National Mall, Kennedy Center, Reagan National and Dulles International Airports add to the convenience of the location and make it city living at its best!

This is more than a home. It’s a lifestyle—a unique opportunity to own a piece of history while living fully in the present. Owner reserves the right to accept or reject any offer.
