Property Description
Not to be missed, this remarkable renovation and expansion by the renowned architect Richard Crone is an absolute showstopper! This four level brick beauty is filled with all of your favorite things and was featured on HGTV and various publications and programs as well as on a Silver Spring House Tour. Crone’s ingenious design relocated the main entrance of this magnificent home to Colesville Road Alley, which runs parallel to Colesville Road between Saint Andrews Way and Leighton. Opening the entry gate reveals the large jaw-dropping screened porch with a high-ceilinged octagonal dining area. The porch dining/sitting area is ideal for dining alfresco or relaxing while enjoying an evening or morning looking out at the beautiful formal gardens with a magnificent fieldstone patio. The beautifully landscaped and fenced Georgetown-like grounds were brilliantly designed by Lawrence V. Frank whose work is featured in the gorgeously illustrated book, Bold Romantic Gardens by James Van Sweden. So many outstanding features are found from the fourth level to the ground floor that it is difficult to list them all. The relaxing owner’s retreat features French doors flanked by built in bookcases that lead to an adjoining open deck above the porch as well as a large, well-appointed walk-in closet. A possible professional home office is ideal for busy households and the floor plan is very flexible and ideal for multi-generational living or an au-pair suite. The home is perfect for hosting large holiday dinners or fundraisers. This architectural wonder has fabulous elements of design with clever repeating patterns from the rooflines looking down from the aerie on the fourth floor to the light-filled breakfast room which mirrors the screen porch. No less than 11 built-in bookcases can be found sprinkled on throughout the house for the avid reader and bookworm. Cleverly placed skylights, a separate two car garage, driveway and alley parking, a highly functional gourmet kitchen, a stunning breakfast nook plus so much more! Sligo Creek Park and the very popular Zinnias is just a short stroll from your door. Holy Cross Hospital is 0.9 miles and a 4 minute drive. You simply cannot beat the convenience. This is truly a gem of a property that is filled with202f;sophisticated elements of design and function… and should not be missed. Welcome home
