Kenwood doesn't need an introduction. For those who know the Washington area, the address alone carries meaning: a neighborhood of quiet lanes, landmark properties, and more than 1,200 Yoshino cherry trees that provide a spectacle of beauty each spring. This is the kind of neighborhood that discerning individuals make a point of seeking out. And properties of this caliber, in a neighborhood like this one, rarely become available. This one is available now. The property itself is a study in substance. Over a third of an acre, gated and private, with a three-car garage and generous driveway for 10 additional cars, and a back garden that has had two decades to mature around a heated pool, stone walls, and an expansive terrace built for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment. The house that sits on it, more than 11,300 finished square feet across four levels, was engineered with a seriousness of purpose that is immediately apparent to anyone who knows what they're looking at. Steel frame. Slate roof. Brick and stone. 750-amp power. Seven independent climate zones. These are not amenities. They are a statement about how the home was conceived and what it was built to withstand. Inside, the scale is generous without being unwieldy. The entry rises dramatically to a double-height ceiling. Formal rooms flow into casual ones. A sun-filled conservatory pulls light in from the side. The family room is grounded by a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen, fitted with Clive Christian cabinetry, Viking and SubZero appliances, offers generous workspace and an inviting layout that encourages gathering. Ceiling heights clear ten feet on every level. The stair is a centerpiece. The detailed millwork and architectural finishes throughout reflect a standard of construction where these things were still done by hand and done well. There are four bedrooms on the upper level, each with its own full bath, including the primary suite, which has a private balcony, expansive closet space, and a luxurious bath designed for more than efficiency. The level above operates as its own world: a fifth en suite bedroom, a living area, a wet bar, and a separate HVAC system — ideal for guests, extended family, or simply someone in the household who values their own space. Below grade, two more en suite bedrooms sit alongside a second kitchen, a gym, cedar storage, and a garage entrance that keeps the weather at bay. This is a home for a buyer who recognizes that true quality at this level is exceptionally rare, the craftsmanship, the setting, the privacy, and the address, all in one place. It is priced with that discerning buyer in mind. Schedule your private showing and discover firsthand why this address endures.
