About this home
Experience the best of both worlds—a distinctive Glen Echo home bordering National Park Service land along the C&O Canal, with an approximately 20-minute drive to downtown Washington, including Farragut Square and the Kennedy Center. This expanded Victorian-inspired Cape combines historic charm with exceptional flexibility, offering five bedrooms, four baths, a separate entrance to a lower level In-law suite, beautifully preserved architectural details, and extensive renovations designed for modern living.
Originally built in 1905, thoughtfully expanded in 1980, and extensively renovated—including a complete exterior renovation in 2022—this home sits on a 5,224 sq. ft. lot with views overlooking the C&O Canal. Exterior improvements include a welcoming front porch with a painted sunburst motif, an expansive wraparound deck, Hardie Plank siding, an architectural shingle roof, skylights, triple-pane windows, and a storage shed.
Architectural highlights include a gracious living room with a fireplace, walk-in bay window, and 9-foot ceilings, a distinctive octagonal dining room, and a spacious family room opening to the chef’s kitchen with Blue Pearl granite countertops, cherry cabinetry, custom built-ins, and a second fireplace.
Two sun-filled bedrooms on the main level, each with large windows, provide exceptional work-from-home flexibility. Positioned side by side, they are ideal as private home offices, executive workspaces, dens, libraries, or guest rooms. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in closet and dual-sink bath, while two additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. Original maple floors, crown moldings, and window trim beautifully preserve the home’s historic character.
The walk-out lower level offers approximately 1,400 sq. ft. of private living space with its own entrance and lockable separation from the main home. Complete with living and sleeping areas, a galley kitchen, bay-window dining nook, abundant storage, and canal views, it is ideal for guests, multigenerational living, an au pair, a private studio, or additional office space.
Enjoy seasonal river views, immediate access to Glen Echo Park, the C&O Canal, hiking and biking trails, and a welcoming small-town community where neighbors gather for holiday celebrations and local events. Located in the highly sought-after Bannockburn, Pyle, and Whitman school cluster, this exceptional home offers a rare combination of historic character, flexible living, natural beauty, and everyday convenience—an outstanding value in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods....
