Enchanting residence in desirable Cleveland Park
On a quiet residential block in the historic Cleveland Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C., an elegant Queen Anne Victorian sits on a ¼ acre lot. Lovingly known as the “Wedding Cake House,” this more than 6,200 square foot home was built in 1898 by architect Robert Thompson Head and is offered for sale for $5.25 million. It is listed exclusively by Terri Robinson, a top producer with the Georgetown office of Long & Foster Real Estate, the exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate in Washington, D.C., and the largest independent residential real estate company in the United States.
Located at 3225 Highland Place, NW, in Washington, D.C., the four-story “Wedding Cake House” stands out from the lush greenery of the well-established and quiet street. Fifteen columns embrace the home’s expansive front porch. The grand entry hall is highlighted with fluted columns and a gracious staircase. Beautifully restored hardwood floors run throughout the home, which also features 10 ½ foot ceilings, arches and recessed lighting.
“This rarely available Victorian features exquisite architectural detail throughout, and the home has been carefully restored and updated for today’s modern living,” said Robinson. “Situated near public transportation, restaurants and schools, this is truly a lifetime location in the heart of the city.”
The main floor offers a lovely living room and dining room, both of which feature fireplaces with period mantles. A private library with skylights showcases built-in shelves ready to store all your favorite books. The gourmet table-space kitchen, recently renovated with abundant cherry cabinets and high-end appliances, includes a handsome fireplace and skylights. Adjacent to the kitchen is a convenient powder room and an updated laundry room.
The second and third floors are accessible via the main stairway or a convenient rear staircase. There, you’ll find the home’s seven bedrooms, including a master suite with adjacent sitting room. The large lower level includes a workshop, darkroom and storage. Situated on one of the largest lots in Cleveland Park, the “Wedding Cake House” also features a private landscaped garden plus a stunning side yard and patio perfect for entertaining or relaxing.
