About This Home

As of July 2025

For the buyer seeking authentic architectural detailing, distinct living spaces and all the amenities for living and entertaining, this home checks every box. Embracing the elements of Craftsman style, this classic home features gabled rooflines, tapered columns, overhanging eaves, and an exterior palette in an earthy green. An inviting covered front porch extends a warm welcome to the interior, which offers a handsome living room anchored by a gas fireplace and a dining room enhanced with mahogany-shelved built-ins. The living room adjoins a fabulous kitchen with a raised island, dual sinks and ovens, stainless appliances and custom cabinets with decorative glass fronts. Beautiful hardwood flooring, thick molding and patterned windowpanes exemplify the Craftsman aesthetic. Expansive windows allow natural light to saturate the main living spaces, which includes a large bedroom with an ensuite full bath, a mudroom with a side entry, and a powder room. Crafted with Australian Lace Oak, the stairs to the second level lead to 3 expansive bedrooms and two more full baths. The primary suite is incredible, with exposed rafters and a luxurious bath with a soaking tub, oversized shower with rain shower faucet, and beautiful dual vanities with custom sinks, lighting and mirrors. The other bedrooms are both large and light filled, with ample closet space. The hall bath features dual vanities and is finished with the same level of remarkable detailing. Step out back to a gardening and entertaining paradise, where a large slate patio surrounded with stone and brick planters, lush gardens, and a built-in gas grill create the perfect setting for summer parties. The home also includes a one-car garage. Located with easy access to all of Kensington, moments from the Marc train, and walking distance to the trails to Rock Creek Park and Beach Drive, this home offers stylish, modern living within a framework of a classic American style of architecture that is simply timeless.
