Step into a home that defies comparison. This breathtaking Italianate estate, masterfully restored by the nationally acclaimed team at Kiyohara Moffitt Architects, is the proud recipient of the National Award of Excellence for Restoration. Every inch of this home radiates sophistication, blending old-world charm with modern luxury at an uncompromising level. Set behind the gates of the historic Lafayette Square HPOZ, this residence offers absolute privacy and show-stopping curb appeal, with lush grounds artfully designed by landscape visionary Ray Hansen. Inside, no detail was overlooked. The original Batchelder fireplace serves as a stunning centerpiece, anchoring the home’s historical integrity amidst a sea of cutting-edge finishes. The chef’s kitchen is nothing short of elite, featuring dual Sub-Zero refrigerators, premium Gaggenau and Miele appliances, and striking Calacatta marble countertops. Every room is a showcase, enhanced by a fully integrated Niles audio system, Lutron lighting, and a state-of-the-art security and surveillance network. There are 3 large bedrooms upstairs with a fireplace and a giant, incredible primary bedroom and primary bathroom, with balconies off the bedrooms. The primary suite is a retreat like no other, anchored by a dramatic custom Spark fireplace that defines both the sleeping and lounge areas. The spa-inspired primary bath features bespoke Antonio Lupi cabinetry, flawless Calacatta marble, and high-performance Dornbracht fixtures. Even the guest and powder rooms are elevated experiences, wrapped in Carrara marble and outfitted with Waterworks fixtures and Kohler intelligent toilets. Additionally, the backyard features an amazing space for entertaining, complete with a covered patio, perfect for outdoor parties. This is more than a home. It’s a rare work of art, thoughtfully curated to honor the past while living boldly in the present. Opportunities like this don’t come twice.
