2318 20th St NW, Washington, DC

Kalorama - A total renovation by a cadre of celebrated design and renovation experts including Jerimiah Brent, Banks Development, and Wouter-Boer Architects, represents what is arguably one of Washington’s finest examples of residential design. No detail nor expense has been spared in making sure that every single square inch of this residence has been meticulously crafted from the finest materials and workmanship. Prominently featured recently in Architectural Digest, soaring ceilings, large windows, and oversized skylights are the hallmarks of establishing the ethereal ambiance throughout, which lets the flawless finishes speak for themselves. Endless curb appeal radiates from the painted cream brick facade and contrasting trim, creating a contemporary elegance as a sign of things to come. Spectacular custom white oak chevron flooring with hand-chiseled beveling flows throughout, complementing the extensive yet subtle moldings. Designer touches abound from the antique French limestone fireplace in the living room to the marble vessel in the formal powder room. A central vestibule establishes perfect symmetry, and leads to the dining room, with a custom corner booth and linear chandelier. Beyond the dining room, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, is the show-stopping heart of the home. Book-matched Italian Paonazzo marble combines with unlacquered brass hardware and clads everything from the oversized kitchen island to the backsplash and range hood above the matching Lacanche range. Ascending the custom white oak and iron staircase reveals an awe-inspiring owner’s suite, with another antique fireplace framing its private sitting room and featuring a sumptuous ensuite bath composed of marble, mosaic tiling, and brushed gold hardware. The secondary bedrooms have not been neglected, boasting ample accommodation, large windows, pops of color, and equally stylish guest bathrooms. The finished third level represents an additional bedroom or bonus space for a hobby room, quiet office or private yoga studio accompanied by another plush powder room. At the bottom of the grand staircase, the lower level is flooded with natural light. A full bedroom, bathroom, mudroom, and stainless steel laundry facilities are discreetly tucked away, while the ample recreation room boasts private outdoor access and a custom, recessed brass wet bar. An intimate rear terrace and exclusive garage parking round out the extensive list of amenities. Situated in one of the most sought-after locations in the Capital Region, moments away from the city’s finest nightlife, dining, and entertainment, 2318 20th Street NW is proof that you can have it all.
