House with terraceSouth Kensington (United States)

Serenity and elegance await you at this stunning mid-century contemporary home from renowned DC architecture firm Deigert & Yerkes, nestled in the sought-after Rock Creek Hills neighborhood of Kensington. Bathed in natural light, this architectural gem offers over 3,000 square feet of living space on a peaceful one-third acre lot, situated at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac. This home boasts exquisite details, including soaring cathedral and vaulted ceilings, exposed brick walls, and wide-plank pegged hardwood floors. The heart of the home is the open living, dining, and kitchen area, centered around a dual-sided gas fireplace. Expansive windows in the living and dining rooms offer sweeping views and provide access to a beautiful stone terrace, perfect for al fresco dining. The well-appointed kitchen, discreetly positioned behind the dining area, features central cabinetry that elegantly separates the spaces. Adjacent to the main foyer, you'll find a sleeping wing that includes a luxurious primary suite. This retreat features an updated en suite bath, private terrace access, and steps leading to the back patio and expansive yard. Two additional bedrooms with built-in storage and a newly renovated hall bath with a tub complete this area, providing comfort and convenience for family and guests. The lower level, accessible via stairs from the main foyer, mirrors the light-filled ambiance of the upper floor. This walk-out level includes a versatile fourth bedroom or office, complete with its own fireplace, an updated full bath with tub, and a bright recreation room—all featuring new luxury vinyl flooring. The level also offers a separate laundry room with a convenient laundry chute from both upstairs bathrooms, a large cedar-lined storage room, and an additional unfinished storage space currently used as a gym.
The professionally landscaped and hardscaped grounds further enhance this home's appeal. The backyard is fully enclosed with both a wood fence and an invisible fence, providing privacy and security, and includes thoughtfully placed landscape lighting. Numerous updates throughout the home, including a full-house generator, security system, and recessed lighting blend modern amenities with timeless design, creating your perfect sanctuary. Ideally located a stone’s throw from the scenic trails of Rock Creek Park and a mile from the quaint town of Kensington, you'll enjoy easy access to charming shops, parks, restaurants, children’s library and the weekend farmer's market. Commuting to nearby downtown DC is a breeze with convenient access to surrounding areas, including via the MARC train and metro.
