Discover an architectural gem at 2871 Audubon Terrace NW, a 4,650-square-foot sanctuary in Forest Hills that captures the magic of living in the city while feeling a world away. Set on a lush half-acre lot, this custom-crafted Tudor-style home, reenvisioned in 2009 by celebrated architect Travis Price, radiates warmth and distinctive character. Surrounded by newly enhanced landscaping, it offers direct access to Soapstone Valley Park’s tranquil trails and a short stroll to Van Ness metro and charming shops, seamlessly blending urban vibrancy with nature’s serenity. Step inside to a light-filled main level where thoughtful design invites connection. The living room, anchored by a welcoming fireplace and custom shelving, flows into a sunroom with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame serene park views. The gourmet kitchen, a haven for home cooks, features Thermador stainless steel appliances, a new six-burner gas range, custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and a cozy breakfast nook overlooking the expansive flagstone patio. A formal dining room with elegant crown molding opens to the outdoors, perfect for gatherings under the stars. A quiet office nook and stylish powder room complete this inviting floor, unified by gleaming hardwood floors and recessed lighting that enhance its cohesive charm. Upstairs, the primary suite is a peaceful retreat, with a striking glass wall showcasing treetop vistas, a generous walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring marble floors, a soaking tub, dual vanities, and a rain-head shower. Two additional bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, share a beautifully appointed hall bathroom with a skylight. A large linen closet keeps essentials organized. The second upper level offers a versatile loft, ideal as a fourth bedroom or creative space, with its own glass-walled view, en-suite bathroom, and ample closet. Attic storage adds practicality. The walk-out lower level is designed for relaxation, featuring a spacious recreation room with a wet bar, a fifth bedroom with an en-suite bathroom—perfect for guests or extended family—and a well-equipped laundry room. Access to the one-car garage and extra storage ensures ease of living. Outside, the expansive lot feels like a private park, with a level lawn for play, a gentle creek, and a flagstone patio ideal for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The newly enhanced landscaping enhances the sense of seclusion, while Soapstone Valley Park’s trails beckon just beyond your doorstep. Yet, the vibrant Van Ness metro station and nearby shops are a short walk away, offering the perfect balance of retreat and connection. A rare gem, this inviting home blends architectural ingenuity with timeless warmth. Its thoughtful spaces welcome and inspire, creating a sanctuary for cherished moments.
