Property Description

A true masterpiece. Every inch of this home will leave you captivated. One block from the waterfront, this sanctuary blends luxury, modern ease, and sophistication all while honoring its remarkable history. The property sits on land once owned by Richard Arell, a close friend of George Washington. In 1800, trunk maker Ephraim Mills established his workshop here, adding early American craftsmanship to its story. In 1980, it was acquired by famed transportation engineer Alan Voorhees, whose innovations reshaped cities worldwide. The stunning estate has since been converted into a double lot with an expansive addition covering over 5,200 sq ft. of interior/exterior living space. Breathtaking renovations with top-of-the-line designer finishes throughout, this transformed home now features 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 5 fireplaces, on-site parking pad plus additional shared private off street parking in the 30-ft alley, and approved permits for an exterior guest house. As you step inside, heated marble floors and a showstopping staircase greet you. The main level presents timeless arched openings, original hardwood floors and fireplaces, a gorgeous dining room, multiple living rooms and lounge areas, and a hand-painted Susan Harter mural connecting the spaces. The powder room features Gucci wallpaper, custom mosaic tile, a custom marble vanity and a gold leaf ceiling. The kitchen is designed to be both functional and strikingly beautiful, anchored by an enormous quartz waterfall island. Custom pocket doors conceal premium Miele appliances and storage spaces. Stacked with a 6-burner gas range, double refrigerators, freezer, two dishwashers, wall oven, built-in coffee maker, wine cooler, additional under-island fridge, and lounge with a gas fireplace, this kitchen will undoubtably make your culinary dreams come true. If you are looking for a private outdoor paradise, you’ve found it. This meticulously designed backyard exhibits a resort-style pool (used all year long) framed by sleek fire bowls, multiple lounge areas, a wood burning fireplace, and putting green creating an unforgettable environment for both entertainment and relaxation. What you desire in a luxury primary suite, this one delivers. Indulge in the generous layout which features soaring ceilings, oversized windows, an original fireplace, and elegant finishes. The spa-like bathroom offers heated floors, a walk-in steam shower, and double vanity. A focal point of the primary suite is the massive dressing room with its own fireplace and custom-built-ins allowing for effortless organization. Formerly a bedroom, this versatile space offers flexibility depending on your needs. Discover two additional and exquisitely designed bedrooms, with a private balcony and hidden reading nook. A full bathroom with heated floors, a tub/shower combo, and a convenient laundry area complete the third level. When you reach the fourth level, skylights pour in natural light. Exposed wooden beams line the layout to create a charming space. Custom-built-in beds equipped with privacy shades and an adjacent full bathroom make this level an ideal guest quarter. A wrap-around bar, lounge area, and private balcony add to the exceptional ambiance. The basement serves as a home gym with a wet bar and mini refrigerator, offering the perfect space to prioritize health and wellness. The recently finished crawl space spans the entire house for all your storage needs. Additional upgrades: stainless steel and slate roof, copper gutters, HVAC system, French drainage system, water heater. Approved guest house plans include a loft, bathroom, and two-car garage. Just steps to the waterfront, King St, bars, restaurants, and boutiques. A short drive to the metro and DC. Don’t miss the opportunity to call this spectacular property home.
