Property Description
The front door opens to a classic center hall floor plan showcasing gleaming, refinished dark hardwood floors. Flanking the foyer are formal living and dining rooms. The living room spans the full depth of the home and is anchored by a fireplace, highlighted by a bay window with built-ins overlooking the lush rear grounds. Two sets of French doors open seamlessly to the sunroom, while multiple sliding glass doors connect to a private brick patio, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow.
The dining room is intimate yet spacious and features French doors opening to a well-appointed study, an ideal post-dinner retreat. The kitchen introduces a contemporary counterpoint with sleek European-style cabinetry, granite countertops, and a full suite of high-end stainless steel appliances. It flows naturally into a bright breakfast nook, and a powder room completes the main level.
Upstairs, the expansive primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, with two walk-in closets and a light-filled dressing room with a dedicated makeup vanity. The en-suite bath is elegantly appointed with dual vanities and a skylit shower-tub combination. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath finished in Carrara marble with a contrasting vanity and warm metallic fixtures. The top level offers two additional bedrooms, a cedar closet, ample storage, and a full bath featuring a classic cast iron tub and shower.
The lower level is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, centered around a generous recreation room with concealed storage. A bonus room, powder room, and laundry area complete the space.
Outdoors, the parklike grounds provide a private and inviting environment, enhanced by the scale of the double lot. A freeform swimming pool is surrounded by flagstone hardscaping, creating a natural focal point for outdoor living. The charming bi-level pool house, finished in a lodge-inspired style with rich wood paneling, stacked stone, and slate tile, offers additional living and entertaining space, including a full bath on the upper level. Throughout the property, curated gardens, tucked-away seating areas, and a pergola contribute to a quiet sense of seclusion.
The landscape reflects years of thoughtful stewardship, with mature, old-growth plantings forming a natural canopy that enhances both beauty and privacy. As a corner lot with only one immediate neighbor, the setting offers a rare degree of exclusivity. The grounds were thoughtfully redesigned and recognized as an award-winning landscape by Southern Living, further underscoring the property's distinction.
Blending impressive scale with refined finishes in a historically significant setting, 3609 Edmunds Street NW represents a rare opportunity in one of Washington's most distinguished neighborhoods.
