3543 Albemarle St NW Washington, DC 20008

An argument for what new construction can be, 3543 Albemarle Street NW brings the proportions and character of classic Washington architecture together with exceptional craftsmanship, finishes, and infrastructure. Developed by Summit Homes and constructed by Bolt Builders, the residence features architecture by Axis Architects, interiors by May Wilson of Edith Gregson Interiors, and landscape architecture by Richardson & Associates. Across four finished levels, seven bedrooms, five full baths, and a powder room are arranged for both gracious entertaining and highly functional family living. The radiant white siding facade is defined by a full-width teak front porch framed by Visual Comfort gas lanterns and Andersen E-Series windows and doors. Inside, the entry vestibule features herringbone-laid white oak, setting the tone for the formal living room, where a 36-inch gas fireplace is framed by a steel grey leathered granite surround. Five-inch solid white oak flooring extends across the principal levels, complemented by a white oak staircase and custom-milled treads. The chef's kitchen anchors the main level with Sub-Zero column refrigeration and freezer, a 36-inch Wolf range, Cove dishwasher, and custom Bullseye cabinetry. Dolce Vita marble adds natural veining, while polished-nickel Emtek hardware and Visual Comfort lighting continue throughout. Open to the dining and family rooms, the kitchen creates a seamless flow to the rear lawn. A private study features Maya Romanoff wallpaper, while Schumacher and Phillip Jeffries bring distinctive finishes to the powder room and mudroom. The first upper level is anchored by a primary suite overlooking the private rear grounds. Its ensuite bath features marble mosaic detailing, radiant heated floors, double vanity, separate water closet, and glass-enclosed shower, with a galley-style walk-in closet completing the suite. Two additional bedrooms share a marble-finished Jack-and-Jill bath, and a dedicated laundry room adds everyday convenience. The third level offers the home's most distinctive architectural space, with a lounge beneath cathedral ceilings opening directly to a private rooftop deck with sweeping views. A wet bar finished in Calacatta quartz includes a beverage refrigerator and sink, while a seamlessly integrated Frame TV enhances the space for both entertaining and relaxed evenings. A fourth bedroom and full bath create a private upper retreat. The lower level expands the home's versatility with a walk-up recreation room and wet bar finished in Taj Mahal leathered stone, complete with beverage refrigerator and sink. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide flexibility for guests, recreation, or extended living, while a second laundry room adds functionality. Outside, Richardson & Associates designed private grounds with a rear terrace of Unilock permeable pavers, outdoor kitchen, and 34-inch Coyote built-in grill. The terrace transitions to a generous grassy lawn, while full fencing, irrigation, and low-voltage landscape lighting provide privacy and year-round usability. A detached two-car garage is accessed directly from the rear alley. Above the garage, a private studio with ample storage and a full bath offers flexible space for a home office, fitness studio, creative retreat, or additional living area. The home is supported by a comprehensive technology infrastructure, including Cat 6 wiring throughout the main residence and accessory dwelling unit, a Trinity Wiring Solutions alarm and security system, and three zones of Klipsch audio. Just moments from Connecticut Avenue and Rock Creek Park, 3543 Albemarle Street NW combines the architectural character of Washington with the precision, performance, and ease of a carefully executed new residence.
