About This Home

As of April 2025

3838 52nd Street is an expansive and impressive estate -style colonial home on a large .65 acre lot down a semi-private drive set back from one of Spring Valley's most desirable streets. Continually expanded and updated throughout current ownership, the home features an impressive and generous layout with a wide array of features and amenities. The home is a great blend of the traditional and the modern with a gracious entry foyer with an architecturally appropriate curved stair and abutting formal living and dining rooms. Beyond the formal spaces, the main level layout easily accommodates single floor living and includes a newly re-modeled gourmet kitchen with a mixed medium quartz and natural wood counter top/breakfast bar and luxurious high end finishes and appliances. The connecting and open family room has two gas fireplaces and a soaring cathedral ceiling accentuated by a central cupola for streaming natural light. The main level owners-suite is ample and has a walk-in closet, large bath and attached office. All rooms on this main level flow seamlessly out onto the exterior rear blue stone patio and wooded rear yard uninterrupted by elevation changes. Upstairs on the second floor are 5 additional auxiliary bedrooms and 3 bathrooms including what is currently used as a secondary primary suite. The third floor has 2 additional bedroom suites each with an individual bathroom. The lower level is comprised of a generous recreation area with wood burning fireplace, storage areas, laundry facilities and a flex room with attached full bathroom. A recently added mud room connects to a three car garage with unfinished loft space creating even more opportunity for expansion. This home represents a tremendous opportunity to acquire a significant property and add one's own personal touches in one of Washington DC's most desirable neighborhoods.
