Welcome to an extraordinary residence of timeless elegance and distinction—a gracious stucco and stone colonial set prominently on a beautifully landscaped corner half-acre in the coveted Kenwood community. Built in 1930 and meticulously renovated and expanded in 2002 under the design of AIA Tomas Manion and construction by Peterson and Collins, with additional renovations completed in 2012, this remarkable home offers approximately 7,500 square feet of sophisticated living space spanning four exceptional levels.
From the moment of arrival, the home's stately presence is enhanced by its covered, columned porch, Buckingham slate roof, and magnificent, mature landscaping. Inside, oversized windows flood virtually every room with natural light, illuminating a dramatic floor plan conceived equally for grand-scale entertaining and refined, comfortable family living.
At the heart of the residence is an expansive two-story center atrium crowned by a sweeping, winding staircase, creating an unforgettable architectural centerpiece. The sensational gourmet chef's kitchen is appointed with a center island and top-of-the-line appliances, while the tremendous family room showcases exquisite custom millwork and provides an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining.
The private primary suite is a luxurious retreat unto itself, featuring a spacious bedroom, elegant dressing room, sitting room, and a newly renovated, sumptuous master bath. Throughout the home, an exceptional level of craftsmanship is evident in the finest finishes and materials, including custom plaster moldings and millwork, hand-made ceramics, and designer stone countertops. A climate-controlled wine cellar and private sauna add distinctive touches of luxury and comfort.
The outdoor experience is equally impressive. Three covered brick and flagstone porches provide gracious spaces for al fresco living, while a heated pool creates a spectacular private setting for summer enjoyment. Exterior hardscape and landscaping were thoughtfully designed by acclaimed Jane MacLeish Landscapes, complemented by seven original cherry trees that beautifully connect the property to Kenwood's celebrated canopy of cherry trees.
Ideally situated in the highly desirable Kenwood community, this exceptional residence offers both privacy and convenience, with easy access to the Capitol Crescent Trail, Friendship Heights, Bethesda, and downtown Washington, D.C.
A rare combination of architectural presence, extraordinary craftsmanship, luxurious amenities, and timeless setting, this distinguished Kenwood estate offers an exceptional opportunity to experience grand yet gracious living in one of the area's most sought-after neighborhoods.
