About this home
The quintessential red brick colonial in the heart of Washington’s leafy Wakefield enclave, 3640 Brandywine Street NW is a case study in the tasteful integration of modern accoutrements alongside the preservation of historical character. Rich in architectural details and comprehensively reimagined with a two-story addition, the home’s curb appeal is defined by simplicity. A brick paver walkway begins at the low retaining wall, bifurcating the front lawn to create an elegant approach to the arched portico, itself centered within the symmetrical brick facade and slate roof. A contrasting black front door and shutters exude class, allowing the home to complement its verdant surroundings. A traditional center hall foyer introduces the floor plan with radiant hardwood floors. To one side is the formal dining room, intimate yet proper with accent lighting. Opposite is the formal living room, generously proportioned and arranged as a dignified library, featuring custom, illuminated built-ins all around and a roaring fireplace. French doors open into the large family room, part of the addition and the heart of the main level’s informal space. A large Palladian picture window, roaring fireplace, and direct access to the rear deck infuse warmth into the space while blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Reimagined by award-winning Jennifer Gilmore, the chef’s kitchen stands in juxtaposition to the rest of the main level, with its contemporary natural wood and stainless steel cabinets, matte granite countertops, and full suite of luxury Miele appliances. The adjacent breakfast nook also opens onto the rear deck. The upper level primary bedroom features a soaring raised ceiling and custom built-ins framing lush views. A large walk-in closet and marble bathroom, featuring a soaking tub and separate walk-in shower, complete the suite. Two additional bedrooms, one ensuite and another with a dedicated hall bath, are nearby. The top level comprises an expansive office space for an art studio or the ultimate telecommuting solution, along with space for a fourth bedroom and sweeping views. Designed for work and leisure, the lower level features a fitness studio and professional home cinema with wet bar. A one-car attached garage in addition to a designated alley space is a coveted amenity in this central neighborhood, while a backup generator offers peace of mind. The home’s outdoor space is a highlight in and of itself. Private, quiet, and fenced-in, the park like grounds are a masterful blend of lush landscaping and extensive hardscaping. Twin decks, one covered by a retractable awning, step down to a network of sweeping flagstone walkways with brick paver borders, leading to multiple lawns and gardens with numerous places for entertaining, dining, or simply relaxing al fresco. A grilling station facilitates the former, while an in-ground sprinkler system maintains freshness. Moments from both the Connecticut and Wisconsin Avenue corridors, the location is proximate to Whole Foods and the Tenleytown Metro on the Wisconsin Ave side and Bread Furst, Sfoglina and Forest Hill Tennis Courts on the Connecticut Ave. side....
