Exceptional Space and Refined Craftsmanship in the Heart of Coveted Kensington Terrace

An exquisitely reimagined residence in the coveted Kensington Terrace neighborhood, this expansive home artfully combines refined craftsmanship, sophisticated design, and modern functionality.

Boasting seven generously proportioned bedrooms and four full and one-half baths, this residence is thoughtfully tailored for today’s discerning lifestyle, offering exceptional space for family, guests, and entertaining.
From the moment you step inside, the craftsmanship and attention to detail are unmistakable. The main level features rich engineered hardwood flooring, while soaring 9-foot ceilings on the first and second floors—and over 8-foot ceilings in the finished basement—create a bright, open atmosphere throughout.

At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen designed for both daily living and entertaining. It features premium KitchenAid appliances, including a 48-inch refrigerator, built-in oven and microwave, and a gas range. A striking waterfall island with seating, a walk-in pantry, and a sleek mini bar with a built-in beverage fridge provide both elegance and practicality. The living room opens effortlessly to a private deck, inviting seamless indoor-outdoor living, perfect for serene mornings or sophisticated evening gatherings overlooking the expansive backyard.

Each of the seven bedrooms is thoughtfully designed with direct access to full or dedicated bathrooms, ensuring privacy and comfort for all. Two bedrooms on the finished lower level offer versatile spaces ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or home office and fitness areas. A main-level full bath with a handicap-accessible shower further enhances the home’s versatility for multigenerational living or long-term guests.

Additional highlights include a cozy gas fireplace, 4-inch recessed LED lighting throughout, a convenient second-floor laundry room, and a custom mudroom with built-in cubbies and ample closet space for streamlined organization.

Outside, the large, private backyard provides ample space for entertaining, gardening, or outdoor play. The home is finished with low-maintenance composite shiplap siding and a durable 50-year architectural asphalt roof. The extra-wide driveway leads to a spacious two-car garage, providing both practicality and curb appeal.

Located in a well-established and desirable neighborhood, this home offers unbeatable access to everyday conveniences. It’s just a short drive to Wildwood Shopping Center and Georgetown Square—home to Balducci’s, DSW, CVS, Le Pain Quotidien, Capital One, and more. The Rock Creek Trail is within walking distance, with two scenic miles of the 14-mile trail wrapping around the west side of Parkwood, making it ideal for biking, jogging, or taking peaceful walks by the water.

With easy access to I-270 and I-495 and within walking distance of NIH, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and the Metro, this location also places you minutes from Downtown Bethesda, Westfield Mall, Pike & Rose, and a wide variety of dining, shopping, and entertainment options.
Blending timeless design, generous space, and everyday convenience, 4216 Knowles Avenue is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey home in one of Kensington’s most desirable communities.
