Koi Pond, Pergola and a Wood-Fired Grill in Cleveland Park

On a quiet, tree-lined block of Cleveland Park, this three-bedroom Colonial offers about 3,700 finished square feet across three levels on a lot of roughly 6,900 square feet. The centerpiece inside the home is a 30-foot great room with 10-foot ceilings and a south-facing wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Upstairs, the primary suite has a dressing-room-style walk-in closet and a marble Waterworks bath. The lower level has a recreation space, a full bath and its own exterior entrance, and the larger room can be converted to a fourth bedroom. Outside, a bluestone terrace wraps around a koi pond, and beyond it a pergola covers an outdoor kitchen with a Lynx grill, a Big Green Egg, two Perlick refrigerators, a hot-and-cold sink and three gas lanterns. There is also a stone fireplace with a dual wood-fired Argentine grill, whose cooking surfaces come out so the fireplace can be used for open fires. The property has off-street parking with a Tesla charger.
