5025 Linnean Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008

Located on a corner lot in the highly sought-after neighborhood of Forest Hills, 5205 Linnean Avenue is a collection of curated spaces perfectly balanced for all occasions. This stone and cedar home was built in 2008 by acclaimed McCullough Residential Builders, offering 4 finished levels with high ceilings, multiple gathering spaces and generous outdoor space. 

The home is formally introduced by way of a sophisticated entryway, a stately dining room on one side and on the other a living room with coffered ceilings, a fireplace, and a private office beyond a pair of glass-paneled French doors. 

In the rear of the house is a chef’s kitchen with a full Viking appliance suite, bar seating, a breakfast table surrounded by windows, and a natural flow into the comfortable family room centered around a gas fireplace with access to the back patio. Easily accessible to the secondary main level entrance, where there are elegant built-ins for convenient storage and access to the attached 2-car garage. 

The expansive Primary suite is located on the second level, featuring a cozy sitting area with a fireplace, a private balcony in the bedroom, dual walk-in closets, and a large primary bath including a frameless glass shower, separate oversized tub, and dual vanity. Three secondary bedrooms with ensuite baths, and a laundry room complete the second level. The third level offers additional space for an office, study or recreation room with extensive built-in shelving with plenty of sunlight, and two additional bedrooms and a full bath. 

The recently renovated lower level is a grown-up play space with a 1000+ bottle wine cellar, full wet bar, tasting table, exercise room, and wide open lounge space. Completed by a seventh bedroom and full bath. The rear garden is lush and private, enhanced by a charming water feature and flagstone patio. The Forest Hills neighborhood is convenient to all of the restaurants and retail of Connecticut Avenue, as well as the hiking trails of Soapstone Valley Park.
