WOW is an understatement! Hidden behind this stately historic facade is a home exquisitely renovated for extraordinary ENTERTAINING, a CHEF'S DREAM COME TRUE, and a huge garden for parties and plantings! Designed by Bruce Wentworth to DELIGHT and beautifully executed by New Vision DC, sooo many bells and whistles abound with attention to the smallest detail. Marvelous double-living room with fireplace and deep bay window seating opens to a delightfully extravagant dining room area and chef's kitchen. (This kitchen alone is a work of art!) From the Ann Sacks tile throughout the bar, fireplace and kitchen to the state-of-the-art appliances---Sub-Zero Wine Refrigerator with drawers, the Sub-Zero refrigerator, the incredible Wolf commercial range and hood, the Miehle dishwasher---the fabulous custom designed cabinetry with a place for everything and everything in its place (even a Cuisinart, stand mixer garage)---the expansive quartz counters AND FLOOR HEATING in the kitchen so wonderful to wake-up to---all opening onto another room sized deck and deep private garden (ask me about the possibility of off-street parking). Up the curved staircase to 2 generous bedrooms and an open family room/den (formerly a 3rd bedroom) with fireplace. The owner's suite is large and enjoys incredible closets, a sun-filled deep bay seating area and a deliciously luxurious marble spa bath (endless marble counters, fabulous lighting, a glass-walled shower for two, bench seating, and multiple shower heads to accommodate any mood); the 2nd bedroom is also generous in size and enjoys a lovely tiled full bath with shower/tub. The lower level (easily reconnected to the main level if so desired and formerly with a certificate of occupancy we understand) is bright with high ceilings, a full bath (also marble and tile) and a kitchenette. Often one reads, "MUST SEE!" Well this truly is a MUST SEE ! 716 North Carolina Avenue hits every luxurious mark with a location to match.
