Hillyer Place offers a rich array of architectural styles from primarily the first decades of the 20th century. Notwithstanding the pleasing diversity of forms, much of this block is unified by the use of brick in the presentation of the residential facades. This townhouse owes a great deal of its… Read More charm to the work of English architect Charles Voysey. While there is no record that the builder of this house directly emulated the work of that celebrated architect (1857-1941), there are many decorative elements found here that comprised a part of Voysey's unique vision. The composition feels like an English country house, for which Voysey was best known. The choice of leaded glass windows evokes the historical revivalist sentiment which was popular in the United States at the time. The disparate window shapes create a more vigorous overall form contrasted to its more formal and symmetrical neighbor. Inside, the home continues to surprise and enchant. Original architectural details - tasteful cornice moldings, chair rails, and a dramatic central staircase - blend seamlessly with more contemporary enhancements made over the years. Designed with entertaining in mind, the main living areas flow beautifully into the stunning rear deck, a true outdoor oasis. Crafted with Brazilian Ipe wood - the gold standard in exterior hardwoods - the deck includes thoughtfully integrated multi-level planters, a tranquil tiered water feature and a sunken hot tub discreetly positioned for both convenience and aesthetic harmony. A custom pergola with adjustable awnings and multiple electric space heaters allow for comfortable year-round use. The residence features six fireplaces, three with gas inserts and equipped with external chimney fans, adding ease and functionality throughout. The lower level provides excellent flexibility with a separate suite - complete with its own kitchen, full bath and laundry - ideal for guests, extended family or rental income. Each of the home's bedrooms includes an ensuite bath, offering privacy and comfort for all. A dramatic spiral staircase leads to a glass-enclosed rooftop sunroom and a wrap-around Ipe rooftop deck - offering spectacular 360-degree views of the Washington skyline. Whether you're watching the sunrise or enjoying the twinkling city lights at night, this elevated perch is one of the home's most striking features. Rounding out this exceptional offering is totally enclosed off-street parking with a roll-up metal garage door - an urban luxury in the heart of the city. 2028 Hillyer Place is not just a residence - it's a work of art, a retreat, and a testament to timeless design - inside and out.
