4114 Emery Place NW

Description

Tucked away on a quiet, tree lined street just steps from the vibrant Wisconsin Avenue corridor, 4114 Emery Place NW is a rare offering in Friendship Heights — a farmhouse inspired early century home that has been meticulously reimagined for today’s contemporary lifestyle with exceptional craftsmanship, architectural warmth, and modern luxury. Originally built in 1912, the residence blends timeless character with a level of customization and material quality seldom found in Northwest DC. Nestled amidst mature foliage, the subtle curb appeal is enhanced by a fenced front lawn, beautiful gardens, and a paver walkway creating a welcoming approaching to the full-width private front porch. The custom frosted glass and wood Kolbe front door, and windows found throughout, opens to reveal a traditional foyer, with intricate sapele millwork and Brazilian Cherry wood floors setting the tone for a warm, sophisticated interior. The formal dining room is immediately adjacent, highlighted by a modern alabaster chandelier framed by a custom built-in china cabinet as well as an integrated 147-bottle SubZero wine storage unit. The room effortlessly flows into the stunning chef’s kitchen, where exotic sapele cabinetry blends with Brazilian granite countertops conceal a suite of commercial-grade Wolf, SubZero, and Miele appliances. Notably, the custom stainless steel island is capped by a whisper quiet 1,400 CFM ABBAKA hood. The open concept extends into the family room, featuring a floor-to-ceiling Tennessee sandstone gas fireplace, a custom entertainment cabinet, and direct patio access via sliding doors. A pocket door conceals the formal powder room and completes the main level. The sumptuous upper level primary suite showcases a lavish bathroom with all of the desired accouterments, including a double sapele and Brazilian granite vanity, separate water closet, and walk-in steam shower with dual Porsche-designed heads. The two large walk-in closets each have built-in organizers and mirrors. One additional bedroom and a hall bath complete the upper level, while the top level features a generous legal bedroom with vaulted ceilings that can also be used for private telecommuting hub. Laundry facilities, recreation room and closet plumbed for a future powder room are found on the lower level. Sophisticated systems include advanced HVAC, a comprehensive security suite, fortified electrical, a whole-home water filter, and integrated speakers. The audio system extends to the private, level, fenced, and usable outdoor garden, a highlight of the home. The wraparound Japanese style cantilevered deck includes a pergola and is an ideal place for al fresco dining and entertaining. A French drain system around the perimeter of the basement as well as an eight-zone Rainbird automatic sprinkler system are thoughtfully included. Unparalleled in location, unique in its historic prowess, and uncompromisingly improved with state-of-the-art amenities and workmanship, 4114 Emery Place NW is a rare, all-encompassing offering.
