Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in a storied Washington, DC historic neighborhood, 1617 Madison St NW is a remarkable single-family residence offering four levels of refined living just steps from Rock Creek Park. Begin the day with coffee on one of three private balconies and end it with an evening stroll on the trails at the end of the street. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout create a calm, gallery-like backdrop for art, entertaining, and everyday life, filling each space with natural light and a seamless connection to the outdoors. Designed for those who appreciate both presence and privacy, the home features 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, thoughtfully arranged across multiple levels to support hosting, working, and unwinding in distinct, intentional zones. Expansive glass lines invite the outside in, while modern comforts, including a tankless water heater and a whole-house water filtration system, elevate daily living with effortless ease. Multi-room speakers set the tone for intimate dinners and lively celebrations, and an alarm system adds peace of mind whether you are home or away. Outside, the setting offers a rare city combination: a quiet “no thru rode” that feels tucked away, paired with immediate access to nature and miles of trails just beyond your doorstep. Seasonal views are a highlight, from vibrant autumn foliage and spring blooms to leafy summer canopies and serene winter snowfalls. Weekends naturally flow from sunlit interiors to fresh-air moments, and the location provides a true sense of retreat while remaining connected to the city’s culture, prestige, and everyday conveniences. For mosquito-free entertaining or a quiet place to read, the screened-in balcony on the main level is a comfortable extension of the living space, inviting you to linger outdoors in nearly any season. Enjoy a lifestyle anchored by iconic destinations and daily essentials nearby, including Carter Barron Tennis Center at 0.4 miles, Rock Creek Park Golf Course at 1.5 miles, and Rock Creek Park just beyond your front door. Close proximity to embassies and many of Washington’s historic landmarks adds a distinctly DC rhythm to everyday life, where architecture, and green space meet. If you have been waiting for a home that pairs architectural light, entertaining-ready comfort, and an exceptional park-side setting in one of Washington’s historic neighborhoods, schedule a private showing and experience it in person.
