OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED. UNDER CONTRACT. An elegant Rock Creek Hills Colonial blending timeless charm with modern comfort in a premier Kensington location. Located in the highly sought-after Rock Creek Hills subdivision of Kensington, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence blends classic Colonial architecture with modern elegance throughout. From its handsome curb appeal and welcoming front entrance, the home immediately sets the tone for the refined interiors within. The thoughtfully designed main level features a traditional floor plan with 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and custom millwork throughout. A light-filled living room with wood burning fireplace and oversized dining room provide ideal spaces for entertaining, while a private office with built-ins and fireplace offers a quiet retreat for work or study. The heart of the home is the expansive family room with vaulted ceilings, anchored by a warm stone fireplace and opening through French doors to the backyard. This space flows seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen, which features stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a sunlit breakfast room. A stylish powder room and a convenient mudroom/drop-off area accessed from the garage complete the main level. A dramatic two-story foyer leads to the upper level, where the primary suite is spacious enough to accommodate a sitting area and features its own fireplace. The spa-like primary bath includes a walk-in closet, glass-enclosed shower, soaking tub, and dual full-length vanities. Two additional generously sized bedrooms with ample closet space, a well-appointed hall bath, and bedroom-level laundry complete this floor. The fully finished lower level offers outstanding flexibility, with recessed lighting, two additional bedrooms, and two full baths, ideal for guests, a home gym, or office space. The expansive recreation room, with walk-up exterior access, is perfect for a movie room or secondary family room and play space. Ideally situated just minutes from the Grosvenor and Medical Center Metro stations, I-495, National Institutes of Health, Rock Creek Park, and Silver Creek Middle School, this home offers a rare combination of upscale living, exceptional convenience, and a true sense of community in one of Kensington’s most desirable neighborhoods.
