Overview

Welcome home to beautiful KENWOOD!
You'll love the spacious eat-in chef's kitchen which flows into the inviting family room (with fireplace) and opens up to the back yard beyond. Enjoy a dip in the in-ground heated pool, complete with an automatic cover for convenience. The main floor features a formal sitting room, a stylish dining room with fireplace and a convenient powder room. A first-floor bedroom (with its own gas fireplace) has a walk-in closet and an attached full bath. This room is ideal for guests or multi-generational living and would work well as a home office too. The attached garage with adjacent mudroom and an entrance at the back of the house is another bonus. The front and back gardens are fully fenced.

On the second floor, you'll find a luxurious primary bedroom complete with its own balcony, a gas fireplace and a very generous walk-in closet. The primary bath is equipped with all the modern fittings- dual sinks, walk in shower and separate soaking tub. This level also features one of two laundry rooms, two additional bedrooms (each with en suite baths) and a bonus room connected by 3 steps to the primary bedroom which works perfectly for a home office/den/workout space/or as a 4th upstairs bedroom.

The lower level is an entertainer's paradise, featuring a family room with fireplace, a dedicated movie room (with high ceilings - perfect for a golf simulator), a workout space, a sauna, a second laundry room, and a party prep kitchen. You’ll also find another bedroom and two additional full baths. A bonus room can serve as an office or spare bedroom (please note, this room does not have a legal bedroom window). With ample space for recreation, this area is perfect for family fun! The spacious utility/storage room adds to the functionality of this lower level.

Claim to fame: This remarkable home was previously owned by NHL star John Carlson, who lived here during the Capitals' Stanley Cup victory and famously showcased the trophy in Kenwood!
Alan Adler of Arbor Homes LLC fully remodeled, expanded and upgraded the home in 2015. The architect for the renovation: GTM.

Nestled in the coveted Kenwood neighborhood, known for its picturesque cherry blossom-lined streets, residents enjoy a vibrant community. The non-mandatory citizens' association organizes social events for all ages, maintains common areas, and enhances security efforts, fostering a welcoming atmosphere. Within the neighborhood, residents also enjoy the Capital Crescent Trail access, the Kenwood playground, proximity to Whole Foods, the recently upgraded Westbard shops/restaurants and easy commuting routes.
