3009 Birch St NW

This home has it all -- a perfect residence with great entertaining space, situated on nearly an acre of land within steps of Rock Creek Park’s scenic trails and parkland, and convenient to downtown D.C. and Bethesda. Custom designed by award-winning architect Stephen Muse, the shingle-style home maximizes natural light and features exquisite design details such as deep crown molding, arched windows, interior and exterior columns, tray ceilings and wide-plank oak floors throughout -- earning it a Washington Chapter American Institute of Architects Residential Design Award. With approx. 10,000 SF of living space, including two large studies, home theater, tennis court, heated in-ground swimming pool, basketball hoop, and sprawling backyard lawn, there are places to work, study, and play. There is storage galore throughout the entire home to accommodate the needs of an active household; there's also an elevator to all floors. The six bedrooms, five full baths, and two half baths ensure the home comfortably houses both residents and guests. There is even an "in-law suite" on the lower level with bedroom, full bath, living space, and separate walk-out entrance. The lower level also boasts an entertainment room (with a billiards table and home theatre) as well as a cedar closet and a wine storage room. The extensive hardscape and landscape give incredible privacy. A two-car garage, gated driveway, and circular drive-through complete this very special home. The memories created here will last a lifetime. This grand yet unpretentious home is shown by appointment only with 24-hr. notice.
