For the discerning buyer who values character, craftsmanship, and contemporary convenience, this home delivers on every level. Nestled in the heart of Kensington—a community that flourishes with boutique shops, new eateries, and an ever-growing emphasis on walkability and green space—this residence blends classic architectural detail with a fresh, inviting energy.
Rooted in the beloved Craftsman tradition, the home showcases hallmark features: graceful gabled rooflines, tapered columns, and wide overhanging eaves. A spacious, covered front porch invites you into a warm, thoughtfully designed interior. Step inside to find a handsome living room with a gas fireplace and a dining area framed by elegant, mahogany-shelved built-ins. The chef’s kitchen seamlessly integrates with the living space and boasts a raised island, dual sinks and ovens, gleaming stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry with decorative glass fronts—a true centerpiece for modern entertaining.
Hardwood floors, detailed millwork, and artisanal windowpanes carry the Craftsman aesthetic throughout. Expansive windows flood the home with natural light, highlighting a main-level bedroom with ensuite full bath, a functional mudroom with side entry, and a stylish powder room. Ascend a staircase to find three generous bedrooms and two full baths. The primary suite is a sanctuary, featuring exposed rafters, a luxurious spa bath with a soaking tub, oversized rain shower, and dual vanities with designer sinks, lighting, and mirrors. The additional bedrooms offer ample space, abundant light, and plenty of storage, while the hall bath continues the theme of refined detailing with dual vanities and custom finishes.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped backyard is an entertainer’s dream. A large slate patio, framed by brick and stone planters, sets the stage for garden parties and summer barbecues.
Location is key, and this home delivers—just moments from the MARC train, a short stroll to Rock Creek Park’s trails and Beach Drive, and close to Kensington’s vibrant town center. With expanded farmers markets, newly opened small businesses, and a thriving arts scene, Kensington continues to evolve while preserving the timeless community spirit it’s known for.
This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle rooted in heritage and elevated for modern living.
