Join us for the first weekend open houses. This remarkable 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home is a rare opportunity to own this beautiful residence, designed and constructed by renowned architect and developer Jim Gibson, and lovingly maintained by its one and only owner since its inception. With over 4,000 square feet of refined living space, this stately property blends timeless architecture with thoughtful updates, all nestled on a generous lot with a 2-car garage and parking for three additional vehicles in the spacious driveway with turnaround. The first thing you will note is the quiet nature and peaceful road that greets you upon arriving at the front door. From the moment you arrive, the home’s quality craftsmanship is apparent. Double glass doors open to a stone-floored vestibule, leading to a gracious foyer illuminated by a second-story skylight. Transom-topped doors and soaring ceilings add a sense of airiness, while rich hardwood floors and elegant finishes carry throughout the main level. The heart of the home is a series of expansive, interconnected living spaces ideal for both daily living and entertaining. A sun-drenched formal living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with an ornate mantel and marble surround. It flows effortlessly into a warm family room where a dramatic fieldstone fireplace and custom built-ins invite relaxation. French doors open to a rear deck, extending the gathering space outdoors. For the culinary enthusiast, the chef’s kitchen is a dream: quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances including a five-burner gas cooktop, convection oven, built-in SubZero refrigerator, and ample cabinetry. A sunny breakfast room with a wall of windows overlooks the lush rear garden—perfect for casual meals and morning coffee. A butler’s pantry with granite counters connects the kitchen to the formal dining room, offering elegant service space and extra storage. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms provide quiet retreats, each with hardwood floors and abundant closet space. The primary suite includes a skylit dressing area with four closets and a luxurious en suite bath complete with a marble dual-sink vanity, spa tub, and walk-in marble shower. Additional bedrooms are served by private or adjacent full baths, offering comfort and privacy for all. The fully finished lower level extends the home’s versatility with a 35-foot family/media room, complete with a brick fireplace and walk-out access to a covered slate terrace and garden. A fifth bedroom and full bath provide ideal accommodations for guests, while a flexible bonus room can serve as a home gym, office, or creative studio. A large laundry room and walk-in storage closet complete the space. Prepared for future adaptability, the home offers the potential to install an elevator. Located in the prestigious Kent neighborhood, residents enjoy proximity to scenic parks, recreation, and the shops and dining of MacArthur Boulevard. Downtown D.C., Bethesda, and Northern Virginia are easily accessible. This is more than a house—it is a legacy home, ready for its next chapter and new memories to be made.
