Property Description
This 1877 historic treasure is one of the few single family homes in Mount Pleasant. Architect Victor O Mindeleff designed the home for Dr. Cecil French, a veterinarian and naturalist, and it is known around Mount Pleasant as "the zookeeper's house". Atop a hill overlooking Rock Creek Park and just uphill from the National Zoo - this amazing detached "cottage" has been gloriously reimagined. Thoughtfully renovated - everywhere you look is uplifting and pretty. Enter the elegant foyer with large coat closet, which opens to a spacious living room surrounded with windows - leading through French doors to an enchanting wraparound porch. Gracious dining room for large gatherings - inviting and bathed in leafy views. The kitchen is a showstopper. Completely redone with kitchen island and breakfast bar, high end appliances, farmhouse sink, custom cabinetry and wonderful extra cupboard area with pull out shelves and significant storage, and new windows! Adjacent to the kitchen is a family room with wall of built-ins for an entertainment center. Charming powder room on main level. Simply an amazing owners suite with large windows and a stunning ensuite luxury marble bath, with custom cabinets, fabulous hardware and large steam shower. Expanded and renovated closet with storage space galore. Owner's suite also has a desk nook AND a private balcony overlooking the neighborhood! Two more bedrooms on this level and another newly done beautiful hall bathroom! New roof in 2016, two zone heating and cooling added, brand new water heater and a great deal more in renovations and upgrades. The owners also added a brick patio and walkways, landscaped the yard and added new bushes, trees, perennial plants, a picket fence and arbor, and a play area with playset! Large fenced yard in front of the house too! Expansive outdoor area for hosting friends - a large welcoming patio or enjoy the wraparound porch. Wonderful neighborhood - the corner is called "Klingle Triangle" with a group of friends and neighbors who hold a block party every year and enjoy many neighborhood gatherings year round. Steps to Rock Creek Park, walk to two Metro lines, a few blocks to the zoo, and a quick walk to Mount Pleasant Street, including award winning restaurant and coffee house Elle, Purple Patch, the Saturday Farmer's Market and many wonderful restaurants and shops. Open Saturday 2-4 and Sunday 1-4.
