Facing a lush green canopy on a tree-lined street in sought-after Martin’s Additions, 3503 Thornapple Street is the idealized American colonial. Sited back from the street on a premium corner lot, the home exudes curb appeal from its painted white brick facade, contrasting dark shutters, and quintessential flagstone front porch.
Inside, a reception area reveals a classic center hall floor plan which has been comprehensively reimagined to meet the demands of contemporary living. Refinished hardwood floors and new light fixtures set the tone for a fresh and functional interior. Formal living and dining rooms are amply proportioned yet intimate with intricate detailing. A private study with a cozy window seat is ideal for remote workdays. The chef’s kitchen, recently and completely redone to the highest standards, boasts Viking appliances, an oversized center island, and a fully open concept layout to the family room. Access to the screened-in porch is adjacent, providing additional flexibility for indoor/outdoor living. An elegant powder room completes the main level.
The upper-level hallway boasts a series of stylish and functional built-in bookcases, opening the space and providing additional storage. The primary suite has its own workout room complementing a well-sized bedroom area. Its ensuite bath boasts premium amenities such as three vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower, while the large walk-in closet has extensive built-ins and organizers. Three additional bedrooms, including a large guest room, large, shared bathroom with dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a conveniently located laundry room complete the upper level. Beautifully finished attic space offers a bonus room for the likes of an office, playroom, yoga studio, or extra storage.
The home’s walkout lower level is flooded with natural light. It consists of a large, open recreation room lined with cleverly integrated storage and display shelves. An integrated divider designates a portion of the space into a sleeping area with its own full bath, while a temperature-controlled wine cellar and second laundry area offer entertaining and multi-generational living opportunities. A new hot water heater and pre-wiring for a Sonos system round out the extensive list of upgrades to the home. Out back, the screened-in porch opens onto a large rear deck nestled amongst verdant foliage. It steps down to a rectangular, fully fenced-in yard with total privacy.
Within Martin’s Additions, there is a distinct sense of community. A testament to this, a legal provision is in place for neighbors and their children to enjoy all wooded areas between homes. Not to mention, the location is simply unmatched, being minutes to downtown Bethesda, Friendship Heights, the Beltway, and Northwest DC. When considering all factors, 3503 Thornapple Street embraces the highest quality of living within proximity to the best of the Capital Region.
