About This Property
Nestled deep within a private enclave of distinguished residences
just off Foxhall Road is 4849 Kemble Place, a custom Neo-Classic
style residence designed by the award-winning architect, Anne
Decker and beautifully constructed by Potomac Valley Builders.
Situated on a stunning 0.37-acre lot within a private
peninsula, the property transports you to another place and time.
This stunning home is approached by a broad set of limestone steps
that lead to a charming columned portico and oversized front door
that functions as a beautiful design element. Inside, the foyer has
open sightlines to the public rooms. The grand staircase showcases
white oak risers matching that of the elegant herringbone floors,
beautifully contrasted with a dark gloss handrail. Formal living
and dining rooms flank the reception area in a classic center hall
configuration. The former, with a large bay window set against a
wooded backdrop, is connected to the dignified library via French
doors. The latter opens onto a spectacular loggia set amidst
whimsical surroundings, blurring the lines between indoor and
outdoor living. Anchoring the main level's informal wing is the
chef's kitchen. Evoking a sophisticated European ethos, accent
pieces include a custom stainless steel hood flanked by open glass
shelving, all set against a large slab Carrara marble backsplash. A
La Cornue range, inset custom cabinetry, Miele dishwasher,
Waterworks fixtures, paneled wine and refrigerator columns, and a
hidden pantry complete the space, which is truly a functional work
of art. An adjacent, light-filled breakfast area offers an
additional casual dining area. The family room's fresh-take on
rustic built-ins and ceiling beams complement its roaring limestone
fireplace to create a sensation of warmth. The windowed wall at the
end of the family room paints a stunning picture of the pool
terrace beyond. The grand staircase is illuminated by a pair of
gridded skylights overhead, flooding the central well with natural
light. The sumptuous primary bedroom features a dedicated sitting
area, ceiling-mounted retractable television, and tastefully
integrated cove lighting. The marble-clad ensuite bath comprises
intricate mosaic flooring, double vanities, a freestanding tub with
views, and a separate walk-in glass shower. Secondary bedrooms are
each generously proportioned, painstakingly detailed, and
luxuriously served by intricately tiled baths. Designed for the
entertainer, the lower level comprises a large recreation room. A
private bedroom suite with direct walkout access, an ample laundry
room, as well as a mudroom area accessing the attached two-car
garage complete the level. Perhaps the true highlight of this home
is its outdoor spaces. A blend of manicured landscaping and
extensive hardscaping has resulted in a space shrouded in total
privacy by a verdant canopy. The side entry gate leads directly
into an English garden running parallel to the loggia, which steps
down to a central al fresco dining patio with a grilling area. The
pool, nestled beneath a shimmering arch of water jets, is equipped
with an automatic cover and lounging area. An additional side yard
is stepped down, featuring a full turfed sports court.
Exquisitely finished both inside and out, convenient to
Georgetown, Downtown, and major commuter routes, 4849 Kemble Place
is an exemplary residence in one of DC's most sought-after
locations.
