Spring Valley

Prominently positioned on a corner lot beneath towering mature trees in the heart of prestigious Spring Valley, this residence is a masterclass in understated elegance. A quintessential Washingtonian colonial, the residence has been thoughtfully reimagined by award-winning Murillo/Malnati Homes in collaboration with the renowned GTM Architects. The result is a sophisticated and contemporary interpretation of the timeless American colonial style: refined, balanced, and effortlessly livable. Manicured lawns introduce the property with park-like serenity, bisected by an illuminated flagstone walkway that leads to a stately central portico. Behind the lacquered front door, a traditional center hall foyer opens to reveal a striking staircase with a gloss black handrail and white oak risers, echoed in the ethereal wide-plank flooring found throughout the home. Formal living and dining rooms flank the entry. The living room spans the entire depth of the home and is centered around a bold mitered-stone fireplace, enhanced by extensive millwork and carefully curated lighting. French doors lead to a sun-drenched sitting room lined with bespoke turquoise built-ins, creating a quiet retreat with a distinct character. Designed for modern living and entertaining, the dining room flows seamlessly into the chef’s kitchen. Expansive slabs of honed white marble define the peninsula and backsplash, complemented by classic shaker cabinetry and brushed gold hardware. The space is both polished and warm, offering functionality and beauty in equal measure. Upstairs, the primary suite impresses with a vaulted ceiling and a gallery-style custom closet. The en suite bath is elegant and indulgent, featuring dual vanities, premium fixtures, and a glass-enclosed rain shower room. A secondary bedroom suite occupies the opposite wing, while two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bath. The lower level offers a spacious open recreation area with a private powder room, a large laundry room, and a fifth bedroom suite that is ideal for guests, an au pair, or a private office. Enclosed by a privacy fence, the home’s outdoor spaces are a harmonious blend of hardscaping and landscaping. The grassy side yard, illuminated by café lights, leads to a sunken stone patio outfitted for lounging, grilling, and al fresco dining. A discreet driveway off the alley leads to a detached two-car garage, a rare luxury in this coveted neighborhood. Meticulously crafted, thoughtfully designed, and enviably located, this residence represents an extraordinary offering in one of Washington’s most sought-after neighborhoods. It is a home for the most discerning buyer.
