Some people wait years to find the ideal spot on Potomac Avenue in Northwest DC with western sunset views overlooking the Potomac River. Fortunately, the meticulous preparation and planning have already been done, and THE DC DREAM team has been assembled to reimagine this iconic property on coveted Potomac Ave. in the Palisades.
Award-winning Thomson & Cooke Architects, Scribe Development and WT Construction are partnering to deliver a bespoke stunner with breathtaking vistas -- to be completed in late fall 2024.
Perched on a high, lush and private 9,000+ SF corner lot, the property is undergoing a full, custom renovation to deliver 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths in the impressive main residence including a 1-car garage with an EV charger and a private pool oasis with terraced hardscaping. This special property also includes a charming, brick guest / pool house with a 6th bedroom, full bath, kitchen and living area -- flexible for numerous uses: an au pair or in law suite, private guest quarters, an office/business, or use as an ADU / rentable unit.
The hallmark of this sought-after team is to bring truly special properties back to life with meticulous attention to detail - signature finishes, custom cabinetry, hand-crafted tile, and bespoke design selections. The floor plan has an ideal flow for how we live and work today with windows on all sides that take advantage of the natural light that floods the space throughout the day. The custom lime wash on the original stone exterior beckons visitors up to the genteel wrap-around porch and across the threshold into a home that seamlessly blends modern upgrades with vintage detailing, charm and history.
The location is ideal -- easily accessible to major commuter routes, downtown DC and Northern Virginia, as well as award-winning dining favorites like Et Voila, Black Coffee, Lupo Verde, Claudio's Table, and Black Salt and close to the Palisades Rec Center, Battery Kemble park, weekly farmer market, tennis and basketball courts, Capital Crescent Trail, C&O towpath, shopping, and much more.
There is a small window to get your clients in early to make some customizations and modifications. Please reach out ASAP and I can arrange a private hard hat tour and share the current architectural drawings and more!
