Think fast! Better than new construction in sought after and rarely available Glen Echo Heights under $2M! 2011 Carter built home is as on trend today as it was the day it was built. Sanctuary Interior Design created a STATEMENT foyer with Phillip Jeffries textural grasscloth wallcovering framed with rich millwork in a luscious deep teal, crowned by a gunmetal and brass open chandelier. It is the statement necklace on a LBD! The foyer draws you in to a welcoming floor plan. Cozy living room opens to a large dining room with chair height shaker panel wainscoting and brass/linen cube in cube pendant chandelier. Imagine Thanksgiving for 20 or an intimate dinner for 6! 3" finished in place satin finish scrumptious oak wood floors are the platter on which this is all served. Follow them back to the HEART of the home...kitchen/breakfast area/family room. WOW...so light, bright, and welcoming! White kitchen, white subway tile and glass/tile backsplash is anything BUT ho hum....commercial grade WOLF stove with 4 burners and griddle/grill insert; DACOR wall oven and microwave, both with convection options; Custom Kitchen Aid refrigerator/freezer; Bosch dishwasher; built in bev fridge (kids can get their own drinks) in the island; corner pantry with stylish frosted glass window; oversized island with breakfast bar punctuates the white with black honed granite counters with Ogee edge...understated quality for the most serious cooks or not! Sellers thoughtfully chose recessed xenon lights over the island vs pendants to provide unobstructed view clear through to the family room. Breakfast area shares the great outdoors through tall windows and a "Sputnik" light fixture! Light filled family room with high built in cabinets flanking the fireplace focal point...invite all for a night of movies and popcorn after dinner. Main level cleverly hides a mudroom at the entrance from the garage...boots, shoes, backpacks will be found tomorrow and out of view today. Tucked away is a private office, perfect for WFH or every day school where focus and concentration are easy! The powder room...black and gray Donghia textured wall covering and striking black trim, another unexpected statement piece that will wow your guests! Upstairs...upper level 1…the Owner's Suite...truly a suite...private hallway entrance with a door that closes, LOL! On the left, the bedroom.. you’ll discover another Phillip Jeffries textured accent wall with brass nailhead grid design. Impactful while neutral and style agnostic. It will complement any furnishings from mid century to transitional. On the right, a dressing suite flanked by walk in closets outfitted with custom organizers rods, drawers and shelves...no need to fight for the better closet! Next…the Owner's Bath...Travertine floor with basket weave open medallion; either end a private vanity/sink, granite surface & undermount sinks. Straight ahead a deep jetted tub will ease the tension out of the most harried days. A frameless glass shower/ceiling height travertine surround with basketweave border and tile floor boasts two rainfall shower heads. A heated towel bar will meet you with a toasty towel as you emerge from shower or bath! 3 more BRs & 2 full baths on the 2nd level. All bedrooms are large and bright, one with ensuite bath the other 2 share a Jack 'n' Jill. Each bath is finished with tasteful tile & surface touches…nothing is "just an afterthought"! One more bonus level offers another bedroom and full bath and a spacious bonus room ideal multi purpose… let your imagination run. (Great for returning college students...have their own suite away from everyone else!) Lower level...herringbone wood look flooring gives an elegance to easy maintenance...huge L Shaped space has another bedroom/full bath, a clever bar with wine cave and bev fridge; wide open space ends with a fireplace…run wild with ideas, gym, game room, rec room, all of the above.
