Geographically, the District of Columbia is shaped like a diamond (a diamond that is missing a chunk out of its lower left quadrant). And at the northern tip of that diamond is Colonial Village. 
    Tucked into Rock Creek Park, this  neighborhood is bounded to the west by parkland, to the east by 16th Street, to the south by Holly Street, and to the north by the DC-Maryland borderline.
    The community is comprised of detached single-family homes that include Colonials, Ramblers, Split-levels, and Tudors.
     Among the Tudors are some absolutely extraordinary properties that were designed in the late 1920s and 1930s for grand entertaining and gracious living. Boasting stone facades, leaded/stained glass windows, and intricate woodwork detailing, some of these homes could best be described as manors. Just imagine an English country estate in the woods, and you get the idea.
    Colonial Village's eastern boundary of 16th Street separates it from the neighborhood of Shepherd Park, which includes more modest homes on smaller lots, generally speaking.
