4000 CATHEDRAL AVENUE NW 229/239 B, WASHINGTON, DC 20016

The perfect apartment for a luxurious, private life, or for entertaining large groups. This distinguished residence at The Westchester was created through the thoughtful combination of two units, with entrances into two separate buildings, resulting in an apartment of exceptional scale and many unique features. It is the only apartment throughout the entire Westchester complex to offer a 756 square foot terrace--a defining asset that truly sets it apart. Measuring 18 by 42 feet, it offers a southwestern exposure overlooking the peaceful woodlands of historic Glover Archbold Park. The terrace includes custom landscaping of flowering trees and bushes, with a professional irrigation system, wall-mounted awning, and umbrella cafe tables. As a true extension of the living space, it is perfect for daily outdoor enjoyment, parties and evening gatherings as the sun sets over the trees. The interior is equally accomplished. The spacious dining area opens to an unusually generous living room anchored by a gas fireplace, providing a versatile setting for both entertaining and everyday living. Beautiful parquet floors run throughout, adding warmth, character, and timeless craftsmanship to the principal rooms. Nine foot ceilings provide a wonderful sense of scale, while the western orientation delivers abundant natural light that plays across the parquet during the afternoon and evening hours. The apartment offers three well proportioned bedrooms, including a primary suite with a dressing room alcove and a large walk-in closet, complemented by large closets in each room, and a custom-designed pantry with ample space for tools, china and linens. A private air conditioning system and a hard-wired professional sound system with speakers run throughout. Refined proportions, rich parquet flooring, excellent light, copious storage, and a private terrace of uncommon size combine to create a residence of lasting distinction at one of the area's most established historic addresses.
