2155 Dunmore Ln Washington, DC 20007

Listing details for 2155 Dunmore Ln, Washington, DC 20007 : Among the most distinguished residences in Upper Northwest Washington, 2155 Dunmore Lane NW represents a rare convergence of architectural pedigree, exceptional scale, and irreplaceable natural setting. Conceived by Barnes Vanze Architects, built by Zantzinger Inc., and featured in Home & Design magazine, this seven-bedroom Arts and Crafts estate commands one of the largest lots in Phillips Park, a full .36 acres, directly adjacent to the protected woodland of Glover-Archbold Park. It is among only a handful of homes in the neighborhood with the park as its immediate rear neighbor. Designed in the tradition of California Arts and Crafts architecture, the home’s cedar-shingled facade, heavy timber framing, and steeply pitched rooflines rise from a stone foundation with the quiet authority of a landmark. The wooded site was fully embraced: Barnes Vanze designed the main deck a story and a half above grade, projecting into the tree canopy and creating an experience of elevation and immersion rarely found within the city limits. A cantilevered glass breakfast room extends this feeling further, its walls of glass dissolving the boundary between interior and forest. The grounds, designed by Marion Oxford Dearth Landscape Design, extend this sensibility outward, with porches, decks, and balconies at every level ensuring the landscape is never far from view. A spacious two-car garage and geothermal heating and cooling system complete the exterior profile, the latter delivering year-round efficiency and quiet comfort rarely found at any price point. A three-story foyer anchors the home with a sweeping white oak staircase, flanked by formal living and dining rooms where custom moldings and millwork set a tone of considered craftsmanship throughout. At the rear, the main level opens into a generous family room, kitchen, and cantilevered breakfast room unified beneath a continuous wood-beam ceiling. The living room fireplace is framed by a custom turquoise tile surround with a hand-painted cherry blossom motif, a moment of artistry that deserves a second look. Three fireplaces are distributed across the home’s principal gathering spaces. An elevator serves all four levels. A Sonos sound system extends throughout. The second floor holds four bedroom suites, each with a private en-suite bathroom. The primary suite spans the full rear width of the house and is designed as a true retreat: dual walk-in closets, a cantilevered private balcony with views into the tree canopy, and hidden motorized blackout curtains that disappear entirely when not in use. The primary bathroom is appointed with heated tile floors, a towel warmer, dual vanities, a soaking tub, a separate shower, and Waterworks fixtures throughout, with medicine cabinets and ample integrated storage. The three additional bedrooms are generously proportioned, each served by its own full bath. A dedicated laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer is also on this level. The third floor offers two bedroom suites, each with an en-suite bathroom, a large walk-in cedar closet, and a quiet den or meditation room. The larger of the two bedrooms is of a scale and configuration that could serve comfortably as a second primary suite. The lower level is among the most comprehensively finished in any Washington residence. A large family room with a fireplace and a wet bar anchors the entertaining program, opening to a private stone patio and the garden beyond a wall of glass doors. The fitness suite commands direct views of Glover-Archbold Park and connects to the SwimEx pool room, which also opens to the outside through folding glass doors. The SwimEx system generates a smooth, adjustable current for low-impact lap swimming, aquatic therapy, and athletic conditioning. A climate-controlled wine closet with capacity for 200 bottles, a half bath, a second full laundry room, a dedicated bedroom suite with a walk-in closet and full bath, and a large storage room complete the level.
