Welcome to 2272 Cathedral Avenue NW, an historic home in the heart of Washington DC updated for the finest in modern living. This traditional brick four-square colonial was designed and built in 1910 by the noted Washington developer Harry Wardman. The home was a gift to the construction foreman on his DC landmark, the Wardman Park Hotel, which was under construction at the time one block away on Connecticut Avenue in Woodley Park. A dramatic covered front porch with Doric columns graces the front of the home and provides a welcoming space to greet guests or simply read the morning newspaper serenaded by the sounds of the animals waking at the nearby National Zoo. A large and graceful foyer with a hearth serves as the heart of the home, adjacent to a large room currently serving as the formal dining room but originally used as a formal parlor. At the rear of the first floor, a 2002 expansion and subsequent update in 2022 provides for a chef’s kitchen of grand proportion with an eating island, La Cornue island cooking range, double dishwashers and ample storage. The kitchen is open to a casual breakfast room and a large family room with fireplace. The 2002 renovation also created a two-level deck at the rear of the home with an outdoor kitchen and its own fireplace for entertaining on chiller evenings. The second level of this beautiful home originally contained four bedrooms and two baths. Two bedrooms have now been consolidated into a primary suite with its own dressing room and sumptuous stone-clad bath with steam shower. The remaining two rooms can be used as bedrooms or additional living or work spaces and are served by a renovated bath in the hall. The third room has its own terrace off the back of the house. A third level features two enormous bedrooms with walk-in closets, a renovated hall bath, and a laundry and storage room. The lower level of the home contains a separate one bedroom au-pair suite with both living and dining spaces, a large butler’s pantry and a wine storage room with capacity for over 1000 bottles. Unlike most of its contemporaries, this early Wardman enjoys the benefit of an attached two car garage, now updated with epoxy flooring and a Tesla car charging station. The driveway can accommodate parking for two additional vehicles. The property is within 5-minute walking distance of the Woodley Park metro, Oyster Bi-Lingual Elementary, Aidan Montessori and the Maret School. Restaurants, shopping and groceries are all within close proximity as well. This home would make for a most welcoming retreat for any buyer looking for quiet luxury with the convenience of a Woodley Park address.
