3417 Prospect is a classic townhome comprehensively reimagined, it epitomizes the blend between historic character and contemporary livability. The traditional brick exterior has been repainted a modern gray, contrasting white moldings and the dark stained entry door to create an elegant curb appeal. Inside, the formal living and dining rooms run alongside the foyer and main staircase. Each features a new gas fireplace and mantle; the former’s plantation shutters open to reveal the full-length windows overlooking the streetscape, while the latter custom built-ins, twinkling chandelier and room for 10 make it the ideal place for dinner gatherings. Directly adjoining the dining room is the chef’s kitchen, whose new farmhouse sink, fixtures, lighting, and thick quartz countertops complements commercial SubZero and Wolf appliances.
The cozy family room enables indoor/outdoor living via French doors which bring the outside in. High ceilings and dark floors throughout the main level convey a sense of spacious sophistication, and a newly added powder room completes the picture. The upper level primary suite overlooks Prospect Street. Its subtly elegant recessed lighting and flush wall of closets are both subtly integrated, while hidden double doors reveal the marble-clad ensuite with dual vanities and glass shower. Two additional bedrooms on the upper level offer similar amenities and share a newly renovated hall bath. The newly dug out lower level, with two additional feet of ceiling height, has its own family room, a fourth bedroom, a stylish full bath with steam shower, and additional storage. It spans 665 square feet of additional living space and substantially augments the home’s functionality. Improvements go beyond skin deep, with new utilities including electrical panel, HVAC, tankless water, and an outdoor irrigation system. The irrigation system services the spectacular rear private and patio. The deep lot offers outdoor space that is a blend of artful landscaping and extensive hardscaping with lighted brick and flagstone patios enabling seamless al fresco entertaining, a mission furthered by the fire pit and outdoor grill. An oversize detached garage and surface space represents a rarity in the city and completes the home. A masterclass in blending style with livability in an unparalleled location, 3417 Prospect Street NW is a poster child for the modern Georgetown.
