A Distinctive Architectural Gem in the Heart of Kenwood! Set on a manicured cul-de-sac lot in one of the Washington area’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this nearly 7,000 square foot custom residence is a rare departure from the traditional colonials that define the suburban landscape. With a strong emphasis on craftsmanship, natural light, and flow, this home offers an inspired alternative—at once timeless, contemporary, and solidly built with brick, block, concrete and steel to last for generations. From the moment you enter through the custom waterfall glass door by artist Jane Meredith, it’s clear this is no ordinary home. Every detail—inside and out—reflects superior construction and thoughtful design. The brick and stone exterior, architectural shingle roof, and wood-clad Pella windows signal quality before you even step inside. The interior is filled with handcrafted plaster moldings, 9-foot ceilings, and professionally designed recessed lighting that brings warmth and sophistication to every space. The main level is a showcase of generous proportions and elegant flow. A sun-filled living room with an oversized wood burning fireplace that has been converted to gas opens to a banquet-sized dining room adorned with a Murano glass chandelier. The peaceful sunroom with a second gas fireplace overlooks lush rear gardens—a serene retreat rarely found in today’s market. At the heart of the home is a meticulously designed kitchen featuring Premier Custom cabinetry—solid maple with walnut accents—an oversized island, wine fridge, reverse-osmosis water system (hot/cold/ice), and professional-grade appliances. A set of French doors opens to an expansive stone terrace with motorized awnings, an ornamental fountain, fish pond, and mature landscaping that invites entertaining or quiet reflection. The first-floor owner’s suite is a private sanctuary with skylights, dual closets, and a luxurious bath featuring a jetted soaking tub, double shower, dual vanities, heated towel racks, and a TOTO Neorest toilet. Three additional bedrooms on the main level share a beautifully appointed full bath. Just a few steps above the kitchen, a dramatic family room with a wood burning fireplace that has also been converted to gas, a custom coffered ceiling painted as a sky, hidden storage, and a stylish powder room. The upper level offers a full guest/in-law suite complete with a sitting area, built-in desk, multiple closets, skylights, and private bath. The fully finished lower level adds incredible flexibility: a second family room, game room, kitchenette, guest/nanny suite, full bath with heated floor, laundry room with utility sink, workshop, and generous storage areas.
