About This Home

As of January 2024

Welcome to 3909 Washington St, a stunning single-family home with a detached two-car garage, massive back yard, a rich history and timeless charm. Proudly owned by the same family since 1967, this beautifully maintained residence welcomes you with its original character and warmth. The home features stunning original doors with original hardware, complemented by gorgeous hardwood floors throughout, recently redone to retain their pristine beauty.

As you step inside, the gracious living room boasts a wood burning fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Adjacent to this space, discover a versatile sunroom perfect for various uses such as a seating area or home-office. Step through the double French doors into the generously sized dining room with built-in cabinets. The kitchen, with an eat-in area and ample storage, invites culinary creativity. A convenient powder room completes the main level.

Ascend upstairs to find three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a bonus room/office space. The primary bedroom faces south, basking in sunlight, and features direct bathroom access and two closets. A bonus room off the primary bedroom is flooded with natural light, offering versatility for a home office or seating area. The bathroom, adorned with original white tile, houses a shower-tub combo. Two additional spacious bedrooms on this level provide ample closet space.

Continuing up to the third level reveals a converted attic with beautifully refinished wood floors, featuring a full bedroom with a closet and as well as an open finished space with new recessed lighting, ready for your creative touch—be it a child's play area, yoga space, or whatever suits your needs. The basement consists of the utilities and extra storage.

The expansive backyard, meticulously cared for, offers a private oasis with lovely hardscaping, mature trees and the potential for expansion. It could be a blank canvas to potentially expand and renovate into a modern spacious kitchen and recreation room with a luxurious primary suite, and an additional bathroom above, all while retaining a generously sized yard. The detached two-car garage is accompanied by a presumed original real estate office, reflecting the neighborhood's history.

Upgrades include: 2023 AC Compressor and handler replaced, 2013 Boiler replaced, 2021 Water Heater replaced.

Located in the Historic district of the Town of Kensington, this home and neighborhood exude a quaint, charming, small-town feel. Enjoy proximity to the town's restaurants, shops, parks, libraries, weekly Farmer's Market, and more. Conveniently located near Metro, MARC train, I-270, I-495, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and it’s just a few blocks from Rock Creek Park. It falls within the Kensington Parkwood ES, N Bethesda MS and Walter Johnson High School boundaries. This residence invites you to become part of a community where history, comfort, and modern living seamlessly converge. Schedule a showing today!
