About This Home

As of February 2025

This custom home by renowned Zuckerman Brothers features four levels, six bedrooms, and five and a half bathrooms and sits on a spacious .37 acre lot. The exterior elegantly complements the large 4,800 sf floor plan with hardwood floors throughout, giving the home an ideal flow for entertaining and everyday living. The high-end oversized eat-in kitchen was redone in 2022 and boasts a center island with seating, designer stainless steel appliances, porcelain countertops, subway tile backsplash, and an informal dining area. The kitchen seamlessly flows into a coffered ceiling family room with a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, and access to the expansive back patio. Completing this level is a formal dining room, formal living room with an additional wood-burning fireplace, welcoming foyer, and powder bathroom.

The second level offers four bedrooms, including the primary bedroom with a spa-like ensuite bath featuring a walk-in shower, dual vanity, soaking tub, and generous closet space with a walk-in closet and wall of three additional closets. The conveniently located laundry room adds to the level's appeal. The third level offers a loft, the perfect home office or playroom, a bedroom, and a full bathroom. The lower level features a recreation room, additional bedroom, and full bathroom and has access to a rare attached two-car garage. The professionally landscaped exterior extends the home with a private fenced-in patio, expansive flat yard perfect for a pool, and a welcoming front porch. Located at the end of a private driveway perched at the top of a hill with dramatic views, this property offers ample off-street parking for convenience. Situated in the sought-after Kent neighborhood, this breathtaking home is within walking distance to the C & O Canal, numerous shops and restaurants, and just a short drive to all the attractions Washington, D.C. has to offer!
