Property Description
This elegant 1925 Harry Wardman residence—reportedly built for one of Wardman's own colleagues—features distinctive architectural details rarely found in his other homes. Located on a sprawling 9,000+ square foot lot, the property boasts a 42-foot in-ground pool, lush landscaped gardens, and a rare two-story garage.
Spanning over 5,200 square feet, the home artfully blends classic charm with modern functionality. Recent renovations include an expanded eat-in gourmet kitchen that opens to a sun-filled family room, both overlooking the garden and pool. French doors throughout the main level interior enhance the indoor-outdoor connection, with the family room leading directly to a slate patio, lush garden, and pool—ideal for entertaining and relaxed living.
Historic details such as soaring ceilings, Crown and picture moldings, and two wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and sophistication. A sunroom surrounded by three walls of windows provides a serene, light-filled retreat year-round.
Upstairs, the second level primary suite offers a fireplace flanked by French doors and a newly expanded spa-like bath. Two additional large bedrooms feature adjacent sitting or study areas with garden views and a renovated Jack and Jill bath. The third level includes two bedrooms and a full hall bath—perfect for guests, offices, or creative spaces.
The lower level, which includes a sauna, full bath and is easily finished to add even more flexible living or perfect for a home gym.
With five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, formal and casual living and dining rooms, extraordinary indoor-outdoor flow, this one-of-a-kind Wardman home offers rare character, modern comfort, and a coveted setting.
Centrally located in Woodley Park one of Washington favored neighborhoods near several of DC's private and public schools, the Tregaron Conservancy and Rock Creek Park. The area also provides easy access to local shopping, restaurants, and a short commute to downtown.
