Overview
Welcome to 1751 Crestwood Drive NW, a rare gem in one of Washington D.C.’s most beloved and greenest neighborhoods. Custom-built in 1940 in a rare combination of Tudor and mid-century styles, this home has only ever had two owners and now it can be yours!
The home is filled with charm and sophistication. The updated kitchen features rich cherry cabinetry, granite counters, and premium appliances including a Gaggenau refrigerator, Viking ovens, a Bosch cooktop, Miele dishwasher, and a Miele indoor grill. The formal dining room, with an oversized bay window overlooking the lush rear garden, is perfect for hosting large gatherings. The spacious study on the first floor has pine paneling, a stylish powder room, and a built-in cushioned window seat. The grand living room, with dual light exposures, a wood-burning fireplace, and custom built-ins, flows into a screened porch, that opens to the backyard, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.
Oak hardwood floors offer warmth and character on the main and upper levels, while the basement features engineered hardwood floors. Upstairs, the light-filled primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a bonus room that could be an office or converted into a second walk-in closet. Two additional generously sized bedrooms and hall bathroom complete the upper level. The attic, accessible by a retractable motorized stairway, offers valuable expansion potential.
The lower level’s family room has knotty-pine paneling, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere perfect for movie nights or relaxing. A wet bar makes entertaining easy, while the laundry room also ample space for organizing household essentials. A separate bedroom on this level could also be used as an office, hobby room, or creative studio.
Outside, the property truly shines. A pond with four waterfalls forms the centerpiece of the garden, surrounded by tailored landscaping, outdoor lighting, and a fence designed to keep deer at bay. The backyard provides a grilling area, a bar, a dining space with permanent seating for fourteen, a covered gazebo with a working fireplace, and a rear patio, which is an ideal location for a fire pit. A retractable, lighted awning provides shaded outdoor dining, while a state-of-the-art Lutron smart lighting system illuminates the front walkway, backyard steps, and pond. An ionizer ensures the pond remains chemical-free and low-maintenance. In the front yard, a major redesign included the installation of a French drain system, irrigation, and red maple, yellowwood, and sweet gum trees.
Security and infrastructure have been upgraded throughout. The home is equipped with a whole-house water filtration system, a tankless hot water heater, and 400-amp electrical service to support future upgrades. The security system has exterior cameras, sensors on all first-floor doors and windows, and basement window screens that operate independently of the main system. A commercial-grade, six-foot metal fence surrounds the home, offering keyed access to the basement and side porch, as well as a combination lock for the garden and home. A Tesla charger is located in the two-car garage.
This home enjoys immediate access Rock Creek Park’s walking and biking trails directly across the street, making this a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Despite its tranquility, Crestwood is just three miles from the White House, easily accessible by foot or bike, and only two blocks from the D60 and D6X (formerly S2) bus lines on 16th Street, offering direct transit to the museums and monuments on the National. Local dining favorites like Cinder BBQ, Elle, and Little Coco’s are within walking distance, as is the Columbia Heights Metro and an abundance of shops and restaurants.
1751 Crestwood Drive NW is more than a home; it’s a rare opportunity to own a property that embodies both quiet retreat and city sophistication in one of D.C.’s most treasured neighborhoods.
