A spectacular Dutch Colonial in the heart of coveted Cleveland Park, 3300 Newark Street NW is a home for the true connoisseur. Originally built in 1920 and meticulously reimagined a century later, with thoughtful improvements since, the residence is set on a prized and beautifully landscaped lot along one of the neighborhood’s most distinguished streets. It embodies a perfect harmony between historic charm and contemporary sophistication. Approached by a central flagstone walkway or a discreet private driveway, the home’s first impression is one of sophisticated elegance. Beneath a welcoming portico, a glass front door opens into a central foyer with inlaid hardwood flooring, refinished throughout the home. Window seats with custom cushions are thoughtfully integrated throughout, creating charming moments for reading and relaxation. The interiors, professionally curated by Hudson Gray Design, offer a refined yet inviting aesthetic. Formal living and dining rooms flank the entry in a classic center-hall configuration, each adorned with designer wallpaper by Phillip Jeffries. The living room is bathed in natural light from windows on three sides and centers around a newly added gas fireplace flanked by illuminated built-ins. The dining room, richly appointed for elegant entertaining, connects to the kitchen through a fully equipped butler’s pantry. A central vestibule houses the main staircase, illuminated by a large bay window, and serves as the transition between the formal and informal living spaces. At the rear of the home, an open-concept kitchen and family room form a luminous and airy living area with seamless sightlines and abundant natural light. The chef’s kitchen showcases two standout features: a sculptural custom hood and thick-edge quartz countertops on a large center island. Commercial-grade appliances, including a 48-inch Viking range, pair beautifully with gold fixtures, stacked cabinetry, and a full-height quartz slab backsplash. The result is a space that is both visually striking and highly functional. The adjoining family room, anchored by a gas fireplace, features a collapsible glass wall that opens fully to the multi-tiered rear deck. This thoughtful design blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living, offering a tranquil setting surrounded by lush greenery. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a serene retreat. It includes two custom dressing rooms and a luxurious en suite bath clad in Carrara marble. The bath features a double vanity, freestanding tub, walk-in shower, private water closet, and radiant heated floors. Three additional bedroom suites, each with walk-in closets and en suite baths, complete the upper level; one secondary suite also includes a custom desk and built-ins. A conveniently located laundry room is positioned nearby. The lower level continues the home’s refined aesthetic with a spacious recreation room and full bath, an additional bedroom suite, and a well-appointed mudroom with custom lockers and a dog wash station. This level also provides direct access to the attached two-car garage, a rare and coveted feature in this exclusive neighborhood. Smart home features include integrated speakers and custom window treatments with motorized shades. Outdoor living is equally exceptional, with a covered lower-level terrace and a newly added screened-in porch that is heated for comfortable four-season use, both overlooking lush landscaping and inviting hardscaping designed by Richardson & Associates Landscape Architects. The grounds gently cascade to a private flagstone patio with a gas fire pit plumbed to a dedicated gas line for effortless, regular use, while the grill on the upper deck is likewise connected to a permanent gas line. Finished to the highest standards both inside and out and ideally located in one of Washington’s most desirable neighborhoods, 3300 Newark Street NW stands as a rare and timeless example of classic design reimagined for modern living.

Set in the heart of Forest Hills, 2963 Albemarle Street NW presents a rare opportunity to create a timeless luxury residence in one of Washington’s most beautiful and established neighborhoods. Offered at the patriotically themed --- and right at tax-assessed value of $1,776,000 --- the property is ideal for a buyer with vision — someone who recognizes the value of location, scale, architecture, flexibility, and long-term upside. The home offers approximately 2,175 finished square feet, with an additional approximately 1,475 square feet of unfinished lower-level space, creating roughly 3,650 square feet of existing and potential interior space. Privately positioned among mature trees and surrounded by the natural beauty that makes Forest Hills so special, the property provides a compelling foundation for transformation. Dramatic vaulted wood ceilings, expansive walls of glass, generous natural light, a statement stone fireplace, an attached garage, and multiple outdoor areas create a sense of warmth, volume, and possibility. The existing architecture already has character and presence; what it needs now is a thoughtful cosmetic renovation to bring it fully into its next chapter. With the right design direction, this property has the ability to become a truly exceptional residence — refined, comfortable, and enduring. The scale and setting support a high-end renovation, while the existing layout offers flexibility for modern living, entertaining, working from home, and hosting guests. Rather than starting from scratch, the next owner has the opportunity to build upon a strong architectural canvas and create something both personal and lasting. Adding to the property’s appeal is an existing one-bedroom, one-bath ADU, offering valuable flexibility for guests, extended family, private office space, creative use, or potential rental income. It is a meaningful feature that expands how the property can live today and how it can continue to evolve over time. The unfinished lower level adds another important layer of opportunity. With approximately 1,475 square feet to work with, this space offers outstanding potential for a media room, up to two additional bedrooms, a gym or wellness space, home offices, storage, or flexible living areas tailored to the next owner’s needs. Whether envisioned as a casual retreat, guest level, work-from-home zone, fitness area, or expanded luxury footprint, the lower level meaningfully increases the property’s possibilities. And, of course, real estate is still about location, location, location — and this setting delivers. 2963 Albemarle Street NW offers that rare Forest Hills balance of privacy, greenery, and everyday convenience. Beloved neighborhood destinations like Bread Furst and Sfoglina Van Ness are just moments away, while nearby access points into Rock Creek Park invite easy connection to some of the city’s best trails and natural spaces. The Metro is only a few blocks away, offering simple connectivity across Washington, while Connecticut Avenue and Albemarle Street provide easy access by car to downtown, Upper Northwest, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and the broader region. It is peaceful and residential, yet remarkably connected to the best of the city. In a neighborhood where beautifully renovated homes can command substantially higher values, 2963 Albemarle Street NW represents a compelling opportunity to secure a strong Forest Hills address and create a residence of lasting significance. The opportunity here is not simply to renovate, but to reimagine — to elevate a property with undeniable potential into a timeless home worthy of its exceptional setting. This one won’t last long, schedule your tour today!
