Property Description

Nestled in the Colony Hill Historic District and directly backing up to Glover Archbold Park, 1727 Hoban Road NW is a classically elegant Federal Revival style residence offering exceptional privacy and a coveted natural setting. Designed by noted architect Horace Peaslee, this distinguished home reflects refined architectural traditions while providing a flexible and functional layout suited to modern living. The home has 3 Bedrooms on the second floor ( was 4) and the lower level could have a bedroom as there is a full bath and kitchenette. A front-gabled main block is defined by Doric pilasters supporting decorative graceful basket-handle arches, with a distinctive oval attic window set into the enclosed gable above. A side-gabled garage wing and arched entry with elliptical fanlight transom add to the home’s historic charm. Inside, formal rooms are well-scaled and thoughtfully connected: a living room with fireplace, large dining room, a kitchen with adjacent breakfast area, and a sun-filled family room that overlooks the park. A deck extends from the family room into the side yard, which is shaded by mature red maple and saucer magnolia trees. Classic six-over-six double-hung windows with operable shutters are featured upstairs, while six-lite triple-hung windows, original millwork, and hardwood floors enrich the main level. Upstairs, the current layout includes three bedrooms. Two are traditional bedrooms with ensuite baths, while the third is a spacious double room—originally designed as two bedrooms—that could be redivided. All bedrooms offer ample closet space and treetop views. The lower level features a flexible recreation room, a full kitchen, and additional storage making it a potential nanny suite. Conveniently located just off Foxhall Road and minutes from Georgetown and the Palisades, 1727 Hoban is a rare opportunity to own a historically significant home with direct park access in one of Washington's most discreet and sought-after enclaves
