3238 Rodman St NW













































Description
The main level, accessed by a short flight of stairs, features the original mid-century open-plan: Living, Dining and Kitchen all take full advantage of the forest vista through a wall of new windows. The mammoth fireplace is the main focal point, calling all to gather around for revelry or calm winter moments; it is breathtaking, drawing attention to the 15 foot ceiling that forms the ridge of the home. A convenient grilling patio off of the kitchen with some stone seating makes for a fine impromptu grill night spot. A family room, 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms are also situated on the main level, making one-level living a snap - fair warning, it will spoil you.
The primary bedroom with its spacious closets, reading nook and remodeled en suite bath is a show stopper. Clerestory windows in the rear and huge picture windows in front provide privacy where needed and spectacular forest views everywhere else.
A family room with built-in bookshelves, a huge picture window and an original fireplace sets the stage for family relaxation.
Two additional bedrooms share a remodeled hall bath.
On the Lower Level: A bright playroom, a bedroom with en suite bathroom, utility room with laundry (adjacent to the garage) with a full bath complete the finished space. There is unfinished space in the basement that could serve as a wine cellar or dark room.
The 4th bedroom opens onto the front outdoor entertainment patio, and currently doubles as office space. Situated next to the playroom, this bedroom / playroom / full bathroom could form a luxurious in-law suite.
The home’s heritage Deodora cedar is a neighborhood landmark, and speaks to the timeless nature of this MCM masterpiece; the current owners have picked up that thread and further enhanced and restored the property with thoughtful choices. It is a home that takes full advantage of its setting in nature and its proximity to urban living.
