Property Description
Gracefully set on a beautiful parcel in the heart of coveted Massachusetts Avenue Heights, 2825 McGill Terrace NW is a classic 1929 home reimagined with sumptuous contemporary elegance, all while honoring its timeless ethos. A visionary masterpiece by Kent Construction & Development, this residence is the result of a meticulous collaboration with acclaimed interior designer Zoe Feldman and renowned landscape architect Joseph Richardson. Together, they have left no detail untouched in crafting one of Washington's most distinguished luxury homes. Â A thoughtfully designed entry reveals the rejuvenated historic brick facade, now finished in a light, refined hue and accented by new Andersen windows. A slate and copper roof adds stately contrast, while an attached two-car garage is discreetly tucked away. A flagstone walkway offers a suitably regal welcome to the foyer. Inside, original parquet floors and a formal powder room with a freestanding Italian marble vanity introduce the floor plan, which spans over 5,000 square feet across four levels of refined living. Finishes from Baldwin, Restoration Hardware, Forbes & Lomax, Waterworks, and Rejuvenation speak to the no-expenses-spared approach throughout. Â Step down into the formal living room, a nearly 26-foot-long, embassy-sized space featuring dark walnut-stained oak floors, a custom Italian marble fireplace, and elaborate crown molding. A Sonos sound system envelops the main level, perfect for entertaining. The adjacent dining room is bathed in natural light from two walls of glass and connects seamlessly to the kitchen via a serene breakfast room. Â At the heart of the informal spaces lies the chef's kitchen, an architectural statement anchored by a custom arched hood lined with imported Australian clay tiles. Custom inset cabinetry, unlacquered brass hardware, unbroken slabs of Taj Mahal quartzite, a walnut island topped in black soapstone, and top-tier appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele define the space's exquisite functionality. The adjoining family room features custom built-ins and an L-shaped bar with Brazilian quartzite countertops, perfect for relaxed gatherings. Â The main staircase leads to a central upper-level vestibule. The primary suite occupies its own wing, with a private IPE balcony and two custom walk-in closets. Outfitted with a dedicated Sonos zone, the suite offers a serene, fully integrated retreat. Inspired by the world's finest spas, the bath showcases bold Moroccan hand-made Zellige tile, Waterworks fixtures, a floating tub, dual vanities, and a walk-in glass shower with two large rain shower heads and body spray. Two additional ensuite bedrooms and a laundry room complete this level. The expansive top floor offers a full bath, a cedar closet, and two additional bedrooms - ideal for guest space, an office, or a yoga studio. Â Downstairs, the nearly 48-foot-long recreation room creates a generous space for entertaining or lounging. A powder room, second laundry, and gym occupy one end, while a soapstone bar and glass-enclosed wine room with adjacent open wine lounge elevate the opposite side. Behind the scenes, smart systems include Nest thermostats for three new efficient, gas-fired Carrier HVAC systems, a new 80-gallon electric water heater, and a comprehensive ADT security system with security cameras throughout. Fenced and shaded by a lush canopy, the private grounds complete this extraordinary offering. Â Rich in history, reimagined with precision, and elevated to modern luxury's highest standard, 2825 McGill Terrace NW stands peerless among Washington's most exceptional homes.
