Property Description

**OPEN HOUSE! Sunday, May 24th, 1-3pm** Set within the prestigious enclave of Alban Row in Observatory Circle, 2985 38th Street NW presents a sophisticated four-level residence defined by scale, elegance, and effortless livability. A dramatic entry foyer with soaring ceilings introduces the home, leading to a main level with 10-foot ceilings, marble floors, and an expansive open layout designed for both everyday living and refined entertaining. The formal living and dining areas flow seamlessly into a spacious kitchen featuring Subzero and Viking appliances, brand new quartz countertops and backsplash, and a butler’s pantry. The kitchen opens to a comfortable family room, where French doors extend the living space to a patio—ideal for morning coffee, relaxed evenings, or hosting guests. A discreet powder room and elevator access to all floors further enhance the home’s thoughtful design. The upper levels are arranged to provide both privacy and flexibility. The primary suite offers generous proportions, walk-in closets, and a well-appointed bath, along with an additional en-suite bedroom on the same level. The top floor includes two more bedrooms, a full bath, a dedicated office, and a spacious landing that creates a natural sitting area or flex space between the bedrooms. On the lower level, direct access to an oversized, private garage with additional storage—entered through Alban Towers—adds a rare level of convenience. With a layout that supports both daily living and elevated entertaining, this residence offers a refined lifestyle in one of Washington’s most sought-after communities. Ideally located near the National Cathedral, Cathedral Commons shopping and dining, and offering quick access to Georgetown and downtown DC, the home places you at the center of some of the city’s most iconic destinations while still providing a quiet, residential retreat.
