Description

Prominently positioned within a highly distinguished enclave of just 32 luxurious residences in the heart of Washington’s coveted Berkley neighborhood, 4802 Kemble Place is a stunning transitional Colonial, meticulously constructed, impeccably maintained, and thoughtfully enhanced to embody the very best of refined, quiet luxury. Notably, the property rests on one of the largest lots in the entire community — a rare and highly prized distinction that elevates both its presence and privacy.Striking curb appeal begins with the home’s classic symmetry, further accentuated by bold dark detailing set against the freshly painted light brick façade. A lacquered front door welcomes you into a grand foyer, where a sweeping staircase gracefully ascends within a dramatic three-story atrium. Embassy-sized formal living and dining rooms flank the foyer in a traditional center-hall configuration, each anchored by roaring fireplaces adorned with contrasting marble mantels. The living room offers a dignified yet inviting retreat, pairing light tones with rich millwork, while the dining room makes a designer statement with deep turquoise walls, heavily veined marble, and avant-garde fixtures. A true butler’s pantry seamlessly connects to the chef’s kitchen — a generously scaled space centered around a substantial island and framed by tranquil wooded views. The adjacent breakfast area opens to the expansive rear deck, effortlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Nearby, the family room serves as the heart of the home, distinguished by a rustic walnut wood accent wall, walls of glass, and a welcoming fireplace. The second level is largely devoted to the lavish primary suite — a private sanctuary introduced by a 21-foot-long bedroom. Three separate dressing rooms with extensive custom built-ins provide exceptional storage, while the marble-clad bath exudes spa-like luxury with separate vanity and water closet rooms, a jetted soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. Two additional well-proportioned bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath on this level. The top floor features two mirrored bedrooms, each with generous walk-in closets and access to an additional Jack-and-Jill bath, offering flexibility for family or guests.
The lower level continues the home’s elevated design with a sophisticated recreation room wrapped in rich, moody tones. A tiled walk-out fitness center with laundry facilities, a stylish powder room featuring a retro wall-mounted sink, a sixth bedroom suite, and direct access to the attached two-car garage complete this level. Outdoors, the property truly differentiates itself. Fully fenced, remarkably private, and shaded beneath a soaring wooded canopy, the expansive rear lawn is level, serene, and exceptionally rare for the neighborhood. As one of the largest lots among the enclave’s 32 homes, it offers space and tranquility seldom found in this premier setting. A generous brick paver patio enhances the landscaped grounds, creating the perfect backdrop for al fresco dining and entertaining. Exquisitely finished inside and out, and ideally located moments from Georgetown, Downtown Washington, and major commuter routes, 4802 Kemble Place represents a rare opportunity to own a distinguished residence in one of Washington’s most sought-after communities.
