Built in 1923 for Washington grocer and businessman John Holmes Magruder, this grand Georgian Revival residence offers over 5,890 square feet of finished living space on four elegant levels.
Elevated above the street with a Piano Nobile, the home’s distinctive architecture allows for a dramatic entry hall and a very wide formal living room with 10' ceilings and a fireplace. The main entertaining floor also includes a formal dining room, large open kitchen with island, and a windowed breakfast room with sky views, powder room and elevator access. A private motor court and garage also have elevator access and connect directly to the lower level with a mudroom, laundry, office, storage, and full bath. Upstairs, the primary suite with elevator access spans the rear of the third floor with two walk-in closets, and a spacious bath. Additional floors offer 3 more bedrooms, a paneled library, and a top-level balcony with sweeping views.
Thoughtfully renovated in the early 2000s, the home retains its classic character—arched openings, Palladian windows, rich millwork—while offering the convenience of modern systems, appliances, and fixtures. Located in the heart of Kalorama, surrounded by embassies and Rock Creek Park, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Washington’s architectural legacy.
