What Makes This One Special

Tucked away on one of Woodley Park’s most picturesque tree-lined streets, 2828 27th Street combines wonderfully open, gracious spaces with the warmth and character of a classic turn-of-the-century Washington home. At the front, a deep covered porch with ceiling fans, soft lighting, and a porch swing sets the tone. It is a true outdoor room and gathering place on a particularly welcoming, neighborly block.

Inside, high ceilings, generous proportions, warm wood floors, handsome moldings and trim, custom built-ins, and abundant natural light distinguish this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home. The gracious living room, centered on a wood-burning fireplace with gas starter, flows naturally into a large dining room with handsome millwork.

Beyond is an expansive kitchen designed by a chef for serious cooking and entertaining. Two separate sink and work areas, including a farmhouse sink and prep sink, provide exceptional workspace alongside a six-burner gas cooktop, double wall ovens, commercial-style ventilation, extensive cabinetry, granite counters, and a wonderfully sunlit prep area. French doors lead directly to the rear garden and grilling area.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers excellent closet space and a sumptuous bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, marble vanity, and European fixtures. Three additional bedrooms, two beautifully updated baths, and convenient second-floor laundry complete the upper levels.

Outside, a lovely two-level brick patio and garden creates inviting spaces for dining, grilling, and entertaining, with two-car off-street parking beyond. The lower level provides extensive storage, a second laundry area, and additional flexibility.

The setting may be one of the home’s greatest luxuries. 27th Street feels tucked away from the city on a quiet, leafy block where neighbors still know one another, yet so much of Washington is just outside the door. Woodley Park Metro is only a few blocks away, as are neighborhood restaurants and shops, with Cleveland Park just up Connecticut Avenue. The National Zoo is nearby, and within three blocks the city gives way to the trails, woods, and natural beauty of Rock Creek Park. Quick access to Rock Creek Parkway makes reaching downtown, Georgetown, and points throughout the city remarkably easy. It is that increasingly special combination of a true neighborhood, extraordinary access, and nature almost at your doorstep.

Woodley Park, the Quintessential Washington Experience

Woodley Park offers one of Washington’s most appealing combinations: gracious city living surrounded by extraordinary natural beauty. Just north of Dupont Circle, the city seems to soften as Connecticut Avenue rises into a neighborhood of mature trees, handsome early 20th-century homes, grand apartment buildings, and welcoming front porches. Rock Creek Park is woven into the fabric of daily life, with miles of wooded trails just moments away, while the National Zoo adds another remarkable expanse of green at the neighborhood’s center. On quiet residential streets, neighbors still know one another, stop to talk from their porches, walk their dogs along familiar routes, and gather for block parties and porch concerts. It is a genuine sense of community that feels increasingly rare in the heart of a major city.

For all its leafy tranquility, Woodley Park is remarkably connected. The Metro puts Dupont Circle just one stop away and downtown Washington only minutes beyond, while Rock Creek Parkway provides an exceptionally convenient route through the city and toward Georgetown, the Kennedy Center, and Virginia. Reagan National Airport is easily reached, and Dulles is connected by Metro as well. Best of all, much of daily life can happen on foot. Stroll to neighborhood cafés, restaurants, and shops along Connecticut Avenue, continue north into Cleveland Park, cross the Duke Ellington Bridge to Adams Morgan, or simply disappear into the trails of Rock Creek Park. Longtime favorites such as Lebanese Taverna sit alongside neighborhood destinations for coffee, pastries, brunch, Thai food, dim sum, and relaxed outdoor dining.

What makes Woodley Park truly special is how effortlessly these worlds come together. You can begin the morning with coffee on a front porch beneath a canopy of trees, walk three blocks into Rock Creek Park, meet a friend for lunch along Connecticut Avenue, take the Metro downtown, and return home to a quiet street where neighbors greet one another as they pass. The restaurants, culture, and energy of Washington are close at hand, yet home feels wonderfully removed from it all. That is the enduring appeal of Woodley Park: beautiful architecture, a true neighborhood, exceptional access, and nature almost at your doorstep.
