This distinguished team partnered with acclaimed landscape designer Lila Fendrick to deliver a residence that marries high design with luxurious livability, showcasing top-tier craftsmanship, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and enduring style. Completed in 2019, the home spans nearly 8,000 finished square feet across four thoughtfully designed levels. A white brick façade, black-trimmed windows, flagstone walkways, and manicured landscaping create timeless curb appeal. The front portico opens to a gracious foyer with sightlines that extend to the rear terrace, setting a tone of openness and elegance. Crown moldings, gleaming hardwood floors, and abundant natural light provide a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere. The formal living room, with a gas fireplace and custom built-ins, overlooks the front garden. A tray ceiling and wainscoting in the adjacent dining room elevate formal gatherings. A marble-clad butler’s pantry with a beverage fridge connects seamlessly to the chef’s kitchen, which features custom stacked cabinetry, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a full-height marble herringbone backsplash, and an expansive island with bar seating. The open-concept kitchen and adjoining family room serve as the heart of the home. Coffered ceilings, a marble fireplace, and dual sets of French doors open to a flagstone terrace beneath a full-width pergola, perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining and framed by views of the Cathedral. Additional main-level features include a custom mudroom with built-in cubbies and side entry, access to a detached two-car garage with EV hookup, and a large walk-in pantry. A powder room and elevator complete this level. Upstairs, the primary suite occupies its own wing and includes a private rear deck with cathedral views. The spa-inspired primary bath features radiant heated marble floors, a freestanding soaking tub, a glass-enclosed shower, a wall-spanning double vanity, and a private water closet. A custom dressing room with golden backlit shelving and abundant storage completes the suite. Three additional bedrooms, one currently used as a home office, share two full bathrooms along with a large, fully equipped laundry room. The third level offers flexible living with two additional bedrooms, one styled as a game room with alcove seating, and a full bath. This space is ideal for guests, teens, or creative pursuits. The finished lower level includes high ceilings, a recreation room with integrated Sonos sound, a wet bar with a Sub-Zero beverage fridge, a custom wine room, a fitness studio, a powder room, and a second laundry area. A private guest or au pair suite features a kitchenette, bedroom, and full bath. Smart home systems include Legrand lighting, Honeywell Pro Series thermostats, integrated security with cameras and motion sensors, and multiple wall-mounted iPads for controlling lighting, sound, and surveillance. Outdoors, a flat, professionally landscaped lawn is pool-ready and features a built-in grilling station, an extensive stone terrace, ambient lighting, irrigation, and French drainage systems for year-round enjoyment. Steps from Massachusetts and Wisconsin Avenues, this premier location offers proximity to top-rated schools, lush parkland, and downtown DC. Elegant yet approachable, richly appointed yet supremely functional, 3117 38th Street NW is a rare offering that defines modern luxury living in Washington.
