Description
Circa 1930, Wesley House is a magnificent Tudor Revival estate residence which captures the romance of a gracious English Manor House while providing state-of-the-art amenities and finishes to suit the most sophisticated global citizen. Encompassing approximately 12,000 square feet of beautifully renovated and finished living space on a rare half-acre site in prestigious Wesley Heights, the residence offers a complete set of amenities suitable for large-scale entertaining and comfortable daily living. The manor house is gracious in scale, flooded with natural light, and reflects bespoke interiors with exceptional details throughout. The generous entry hall opens to an elegant drawing room anchored by a massive wood-burning fireplace surrounded by an impressive limestone mantel. A Venetian glass chandelier illuminates the adjacent dining room which easily accommodates 24 seated guests and is wrapped in a serene custom mural. The award-winning kitchen flows seamlessly to the bright family room overlooking the magnificent formal gardens and swimming pool. Upstairs, the five bedrooms and six full baths are each finely detailed. The main suite is a luxurious retreat and features two baths and separate dressing rooms. Nearby, the dramatic library is the ideal place to work or simply escape and boasts a soaring cathedral ceiling, leaded glass windows and a majestic fireplace. On the lower level, a full gym, theatre and billiards room and a separate bedroom and full bath are just a few of the long list of amenities. Adjacent to the manor house, a separate guest wing is connected via a charming covered breezeway and features two additional bedrooms and three baths. Three-car garage parking and ample off-street parking make Wesley House the ideal estate retreat just minutes from the White House and downtown Washington.
