The Berkley neighborhood residences are synonymous with quiet luxury and restrained elegance. Nestled within the newest section of Battery Kemble Place, this distinguished enclave, on the site of the former Rockefeller Estate, is 4813 Kemble Place. The home is a classic brick colonial blending traditional principles with modern livability. Perfectly symmetrical, the facade evokes cues from classic estates of the past. Inside, the central entry hall creates a formidable initial impression, with gleaming Carrara marble floors and a sweeping grand staircase. Detailed plasterwork throughout the main level consists of thick, carved crown moldings and archways framed by columns. Formal rooms are generously proportioned. The dining room is embassy sized, with two walls of glass and access to a private balcony for al fresco entertaining during the warmer months. A substantial living area in the rear spans the entire width of the home. Lavishly appointed yet still warm and intimate, the space features accent lighting and is anchored at one end by an intricate, roaring fireplace. A wall of double casement windows and access to a second private balcony complete the area. Upstairs, the primary suite is accessed through double doors. The large sleeping area connects to a five-piece marble bath and walk-in closet space. Secondary bedrooms are each ample in both scale and storage. The grand staircase leads to the walkout lower level in a gracious arc. Sitting above grade, the ethereal space is flooded with natural light. A large recreation room features extensive built-ins on two walls, flanking a roaring fireplace. A professional, mirrored fitness room and guest bedroom complete the space. Shaded by verdant foliage and shrouded in privacy, the rear lawn offers usable green space. Convenient to Georgetown, Downtown, and major commuter routes, 4813 Kemble Place is an exemplary residence in one of DC’s most sought-after locations.
