Welcome to this light-filled, stately colonial with subtle Victorian touches in the heart of Kensington! Rebuilt in 2022 and offering almost 3,800 sq ft of beautifully designed and appointed living space, this home blends luxury, comfort, and flexibility—truly a place with room to grow. The welcoming, covered front porch sets the tone inviting you inside, where you’ll find 5 generously-sized bedrooms—each with its own private, attached bath—plus a convenient half bath on the main level and a first-floor bedroom ideal for guests or multigenerational living. The gourmet kitchen is a true gathering space with a tremendous island – great for entertaining and seating, separate wall oven and gas cooktop, and an open flow to the living room featuring a gas fireplace flanked by custom built-ins. High ceilings, abundant windows, and hardwood floors on the main level create a bright, airy feel throughout. The dining room’s bay window adds classic charm, while French doors lead to a private, fenced backyard with a storage shed. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite impresses with a tray ceiling, freestanding soaking tub, double sinks, and two closets, plus there’s an open office on the second floor (which could alternately be utilized for additional primary closet space). The third level, boasting the 5th en suite, also offers a large family room—perfect for movie nights, play space or homework stations, and is tucked away from high-traffic areas. Additional highlights: Dual-zone HVAC, spacious driveway for off-street parking, custom tile work in the bathrooms and beautiful trim throughout. Enjoy Kensington’s small-town charm with big-city access—walk to community events, and locally owned shops and restaurants along with the trails, paths, ballfields and courts of Rock Creek Park. Less than one mile to the MARC train with easy access to Union Station and downtown DC.
