Synonymous with quiet luxury and understated elegance, Kemble Place is one of Washington’s most sought-after enclaves. Nestled within this exclusive community, 4814 Kemble Place occupies a rare double lot shaped by the graceful curve of the street, creating a rare combination of expansive space and privacy. The residence is an update on the classic red brick Colonial, blending timeless architectural principles with modern livability. Its façade nods to the grand estates of the past while incorporating contemporary elements, creating an unmistakable presence.  A dramatic, offset entry introduces the home through a transverse limestone gallery, where a formal powder room and coat closet are discreetly tucked away. Natural light pours into the living spaces through elegant casement windows, highlighting substantial millwork and thoughtful architectural detailing. The sweeping custom designed staircase, floating above a dramatic picture window, aligns beautifully with the formal living room.   Anchored by an English limestone fireplace and framed by a balcony overlooking the streetscape, it exudes both scale and refinement. Adjacent, the stately dining room flows into a bay-windowed breakfast room with built-in cabinetry, connecting to the kitchen.. The kitchen featuring luxurious marble countertops, a Thermador cooktop capped by an oversized stainless steel hood, integrated panel Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer and wine storage modules, Miele ovens and dishwasher, SieMatic cabinetry, and a waterfall wooden bar at the back of the center island that creates seating for three. A 35” x 82” slab of veined marble sits behind the cooktop, cut so that the end pieces slide into the woodwork to reveal sets of lighted shelves. The kitchen is fully open to the adjacent family room, its wall of shelving and framed 65” TV niche infusing warmth and practicality into the space while two sets of French doors open onto the rear terrace. A private library/office with custom cabinetry and lighting and a wood-burning fireplace framed with Port Laurent marble complete the main level. The second floor is reached via a staircase with a pair of 11’ windows at the midway landing that affords the view of a specimen Japanese Maple tree. The staircase features a three-story hand-carved serpentine handrail that connects all floors of the house. At the second floor, a landing is illuminated by a skylight set in a vaulted ceiling lit by cove lighting. The capacious upper-level primary suite is accessed through an intimate vestibule, revealing a 25-foot, airy bedroom anchored on one end by a wood-burning fireplace. A stunning dressing room, whose perimeter is lined with custom closets, drawers, and a formal dressing table, serves as the transition into the primary bath. The marble-clad bath features a private nook for the oversized soaking tub, along with dual vanities, walk-in steam shower, and separate water closet. Three additional bedrooms branch off of the upper-level hallway, which is lit by three vaulted skylights. Each bedroom features ample storage space and an ensuite marble bath. A union of function and entertainment is found in the lower level. A 28-foot multi-purpose room, currently serving as an exercise suite, serves as the level’s main living area, while a professional temperature-controlled wine cellar with a capacity of almost 500 bottles plus shelving for cases is nearby. A dedicated laundry room, two separate storage rooms, a full bath, and access to the two-car garage complete the picture. A private resort, the home’s outdoor space is characterized by a seamless blend of manicured landscaping and extensive hardscaping. A raised patio overlooks mature trees and boxwood hedges that combine with rough retaining walls to create a verdant oasis. At the heart of the expansive grounds behind the main residence is a 40’ X 20’ pool with integrated spa, finished in bluestone and equipped with an automatic cover. The adjacent pool house opens via NanaWall to an al fresco lounge and long wet bar and features a full bath, garden shed and work room.  A separate guest house with kitchenette and full bath separated from the pool house by double pergola covered terraces complete the private retreat—one that belies the home’s close-in location.  Minutes from Georgetown, Downtown, and major commuter routes, 4814 Kemble Place stands as an exemplary residence at the pinnacle of Washington living.
