Description

Experience unparalleled luxury in this meticulously renovated Kalorama home, a masterpiece brought to life by a team of the region’s finest craftsmen and design specialists. Architect Christian Zapatka, builder Peterson Collins, and designer Thomas Preston Interiors completely transformed and expanded this 1911 Mediterranean Revival, uniting the home’s architectural elegance with contemporary sophistication. The exacting attention to detail is unmistakable from every element of the residence; upon entry guests are greeted by a grand foyer, high ceilings, white oak hardwood floors, and exceptional period details, setting the stage for the immaculate design aesthetic that awaits. Step directly into the formal living room, bathed in natural light from the generously proportioned windows, handsome moldings and stunning fireplace to the dining room where one is transported to a world of contemporary refinement as a prelude to the heart of the home beyond. Framed in floor-to-ceiling windows the sun-filled custom Waterworks kitchen is an entertainer’s dream. From the Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the matching Italian Calacatta marble countertops and slab backsplash. The space flows seamlessly into the stylish family room connecting to the rear patio. Upstairs, the awe-inspiring primary suite impresses with a desirable walk-in closet, a private Ipe terrace with built-in mahogany planters, and a luxury Waterworks bathroom with terrazzo tile floors, dual vanity and elegant marble shower with frameless glass enclosure. Continue down the hall to the show-stopping library where enchanting details flourish; Roman shades in Clarke & Clarke fabric by Kravet, an antique fireplace, and refinished, original heart of pine flooring. The fully-finished lower level, complete with in-home elevator, offers an expansive in-law suite. Guests will marvel at the ceiling height throughout, the spacious family room, wet bar with custom Waterworks cabinets, a Waterworks bath with handmade ceramic tile, and a patio with private rear access. The exterior of the home is equally remarkable, with a front walkway, monolithic stair, and balustrade constructed out of Indiana limestone, a rear kitchen patio constructed with Ipe decking, and a private motor court for parking. 2343 Ashmead Place NW is nestled on a serene tree-lined street in one of Washington’s most sought-after neighborhoods, Kalorama. The prestigious location provides immediate access to world-class shopping, dining, and nightlife.
