Property Description
The layout is one of this home's most compelling features. The main level opens into a connected kitchen, living, and dining area designed for the way people actually live — fluid, social, and easy. The kitchen anchors the space with a ZLINE professional-grade range, oven, and microwave suite, surrounded by finishes that feel considered rather than generic. From here, the living and dining areas flow naturally, making the whole main level feel generous without ever feeling formal.
Also on the main level, a separated wing provides two bedrooms and two and a half baths — thoughtfully positioned away from the living spaces to offer privacy and quiet without sacrificing proximity. The layout works equally well for guests, family, or flexible use depending on how life unfolds.
Upstairs, the primary suite is its own world. A dedicated sitting area, a private office, and the primary bedroom itself — together they create a retreat that functions as more than just a place to sleep. Whether the morning starts with coffee in the sitting area or the workday begins without leaving the floor, this level was designed with intention.
What sets this address apart is what surrounds it. Rock Creek Palisades is one of Montgomery County's most quietly coveted communities — tucked away enough to feel like a private retreat, yet connected to everything that makes this corner of the DMV exceptional. Rock Creek Park and Beach Drive are steps away, offering miles of trails, car-free cycling on weekends, and the kind of green space that most neighborhoods can only wish for.
And then there is Kensington itself. Baby Cat Brewery, Carmen's Ice Cream, the Antique Row on Howard Avenue, the Saturday farmers market, the train station, the deep-rooted neighborhood character — all of it within a short walk or a quick drive. Historic Kensington has a pulse that feels increasingly rare, and this home sits right at the center of it.
For commuters, the location is equally compelling. Downtown DC is under 30 minutes by car, the Beltway is minutes away, and the MARC train at Kensington station puts Union Station within easy reach. Privacy and proximity — rarely does a home deliver both so effortlessly.
