Nestled in one of Washington, D.C.’s most prestigious enclaves, this exquisite French Mansard-style residence in Kalorama offers a rare blend of elegance, tranquility, and urban accessibility. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, this detached home is an entertainer’s dream, with grand yet inviting spaces that seamlessly balance refined sophistication and modern comfort. With 4,752 square feet of meticulously curated interiors, and a design-focused renovation led by Tays & Co., this residence represents the pinnacle of Kalorama living. Enter through solid oak French doors, appointed with ornate brass hardware, into a gracious foyer accented by marble flooring, custom lighting, and traditional wall moldings. The first floor hosts two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, a laundry room, and garage access, providing a functional yet luxurious entry into the home. A striking curved staircase at the home’s central core guides you to the main entertaining level, while an elevator services all three levels. The south-facing great room, spanning the width of the home, is drenched in natural light from several Juliet balconies. Featuring a wood-burning fireplace with a marble surround, custom lighting, traditional wall moldings, and oak hardwood flooring, this space is both elegant and inviting—perfect for intimate evenings or grand entertaining. On the west side, the impeccable kitchen is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Custom cabinetry, an oversized island, and a built-in banquette are accented with Arabescato D’Oro marble, while top-tier appliances—including two dishwashers, dual wall ovens, a beverage center, ice maker, and coffee bar—ensure seamless functionality. A hand-plastered custom range hood serves as the room’s sculptural centerpiece. Adjacent, the formal dining room and kitchen both offer access to the secluded backyard, an idyllic setting for al fresco dining and entertaining beneath the canopy of a majestic Heritage oak. Ascending the central core staircase, illuminated by a 20-foot wall of windows and a custom chandelier, the third floor is a private sanctuary. The primary suite is a study in sophistication, centered around a wood-burning fireplace and featuring intricate herringbone oak flooring. The spa-like ensuite bath is adorned with a dual vanity topped with Naica quartzite, a freestanding soaking tub, and a handcrafted Zellige tile shower, leading to a spacious dressing room with custom closet cabinetry and a makeup vanity. The junior suite overlooks the serene backyard, offering a tranquil retreat with custom Australian wool carpeting. Its ensuite bath, clad in travertine and accented by a glass-enclosed shower, is complemented by a walk-in closet with custom built-ins. A distinguished neighborhood offering peaceful seclusion, yet just moments from Dupont Circle, Georgetown, and Embassy Row, this home is a rare opportunity to experience timeless elegance and contemporary luxury in Washington’s most coveted enclave.
