Description

Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Forest Hills, this beautifully renovated two-level rambler blends mid-century architecture with a thoughtful, design-forward renovation. The home’s striking street presence—featuring a clean-lined façade of brick and stone, updated siding, refined landscaping, stone-clad front steps, and a new garage door (2024)—sets the tone for the quality found throughout.

Renovated by high-end remodeler Case, the light-filled main level showcases timeless mid-century proportions, hardwood floors, and a gracious living room anchored by a newly installed gas fireplace with logs. Large windows frame leafy views and create an inviting atmosphere for both everyday living and entertaining.

The custom renovated kitchen is elegant and highly functional, featuring Crystal cabinetry, sleek countertops, modern appliances, and warm wood tones that echo the home’s mid-century roots. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area, ideal for casual meals or hosting guests.

The main level offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a private primary suite with a renovated bath featuring a floating double vanity and glass-enclosed shower with rainfall shower head. The secondary bedrooms are well-proportioned and share an updated hall bathroom with tub.
The fully finished lower level expands the living space with a spacious family room, a full bathroom, and two additional rooms—one currently used as a home office and the other as a gym—providing flexible options. Improvements included replacement of all basement windows with Marvin windows, renovation of all bathrooms and the kitchen, and a complete reworking of HVAC venting.

Outdoor living and infrastructure have been thoughtfully addressed over time. In 2017, a rear patio, landscaping, fencing, replacement rear entrance steps, and rear drainage improvements created a private backyard retreat. The roof was replaced in 2020. Extensive exterior improvements in 2024 included new front and side yard landscaping with an integrated drainage system, replacement of exterior siding and gutters, insulation and repairs to the rear porch/entrance, stone cladding and new railing on the front steps, installation of a garage drain and sump pump, and a new garage door. The home features an electric car charger as well.

Ideally located within walking distance of the shops and restaurants along Connecticut Avenue—including Politics and Prose, Buck’s Fishing & Camping, Call Your Mother and Comet Ping Pong—and close to Rock Creek Park and 1 mile to Van Ness Metro, this Forest Hills residence presents a rare turnkey opportunity combining mid-century design integrity, meticulous upgrades, and exceptional Upper Northwest DC convenience.
