About 2318 Ashmead Pl Nw
Nestled on one of Kalorama Triangle’s most picturesque, tree-lined streets, this beautifully re-imagined residence blends timeless architectural character with modern comfort across three spacious levels.
An over sized foyer provides a gracious introduction to the home and opens to beautifully proportioned living spaces filled with natural light. Throughout the main level, original refinished hardwood floors, high ceilings, crown molding, recessed lighting, and custom plantation shutters create an elegant yet inviting atmosphere.
An arched entry leads into the gracious living room, where custom built-in bookcases, the original mantel, and a working wood-burning fireplace create a warm gathering place. The spacious formal dining room, distinguished by coffered ceilings and classic wainscoting, is ideally suited for holiday celebrations, dinner parties, and memorable evenings with family and friends. An adjoining sun room offers flexible space for a family room, home office, or quiet retreat.
The gourmet kitchen features a charming breakfast nook surrounded by windows, abundant custom cabinetry, a pantry, gas cook top, wall ovens, and stainless-steel appliances. Exceptional natural light and an effortless flow between the living, dining, sun room, and kitchen spaces make the main level equally comfortable for everyday living and entertaining.
The upper level offers three bedrooms , two full baths and study. Overlooking the front of the property, the spacious primary bedroom features custom built-ins, two walls of customized closet space, and full-length French doors opening to a large private deck. With room for lounge seating and outdoor dining, the deck provides a peaceful setting for morning coffee, reading, or relaxing among the trees.
Skylights bring natural light into the upper hallway, primary and hall baths. A separate staircase leads to a large attic offering exceptional storage and exciting potential for a future bonus room.
The finished lower level significantly expands the home’s flexibility. Separate front and rear entrances provide privacy for visiting family, long-term guests, or an au pair. This level includes a generously sized family or recreation room, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a kitchenette equipped with a sink, microwave, refrigerator, and cabinetry. A custom wall of built-in cabinetry and closets provides outstanding storage, and the home’s washer and dryer are conveniently located on this level.
Outside, a lovely patio plus two off-street parking spaces offer an invaluable city convenience. The property feeds into the highly regarded Oyster-Adams Bilingual School and Jackson-Reed High School.
Ashmead Place offers something increasingly rare in Washington: a quiet, neighborly setting with the energy and convenience of the city just blocks away. Rock Creek Park begins near the end of the street, placing wooded trails, playgrounds, biking paths, and hundreds of acres of green space remarkably close to home. Dupont Circle, Woodley Park, Adams Morgan, Georgetown, two Metro stations, acclaimed restaurants, cultural institutions, and everyday conveniences are all nearby.
Known for its welcoming neighbors and annual block party, Ashmead Place has a true sense of community. With its gracious rooms, flexible guest accommodations, abundant storage, private outdoor space, two-car parking, and extraordinary location, 2318 Ashmead Place is more than a distinguished Kalorama residence—it is a peaceful urban oasis designed for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying the very best of Washington living.
