Surrounded by cherry trees on a beautifully landscaped .8-acre corner lot in coveted Rock Creek Hills, this one-of-a-kind New Orleans-inspired estate is a true showpiece where timeless elegance meets modern perfection. Arched and pillared entries, gracious covered porches, soaring two-story spaces, stunning custom woodwork, and elaborate gardens create an exceptional parklike setting complete with mature trees, flowering shrubs, and a labyrinth garden for quiet meditation. The main level is designed for sophisticated entertaining — architectural columns lead from the grand foyer to a formal living room with a gas fireplace and French doors opening to a covered porch overlooking the pool and patio, all enclosed by classic wrought-iron fencing. A formal dining room with a built-in china cabinet sits adjacent, while the dramatic two-story family room features a cathedral ceiling, twin skylights with power shades, a wood-burning fireplace, and a bay window overlooking the front yard. The chef's kitchen has been freshly updated with refinished cabinetry and features Wood Mode construction, fully integrated appliances, double-level Costa Verde granite countertops, a central work island with a separate brass sink, and a built-in sound system. The light-filled "jewel box" breakfast room overlooks the pool with two sets of French doors leading to separate covered porches. The left wing houses four spacious bedrooms — two with private en-suite baths and a hall bath serving the remaining rooms — and all bathrooms throughout the home have been fully renovated to 2026 standards with premium fixtures and contemporary finishes. An open stairway leads to a library loft with custom bookshelves and cedar closets, and beyond that, the expansive owner's suite impresses with vaulted ceilings, twin skylights, a wood-burning fireplace, a private upper-level porch, and a luxurious en-suite bath with a whirlpool tub, frameless glass shower, double vanity, heated towel rack, and a custom walk-in closet. The renovated walk-out lower level opens directly to the pool via French doors and offers a large family room with a gas fireplace, a full bath with a roll-in shower, an artist's studio, and a second full kitchen. The freshly serviced pool area is resort-worthy, featuring a Hot Springs "Prodigy" hot tub, Weber natural gas grill, spacious pool deck with fire pit area, and a spectacular wrought-iron enclosed patio. The entire interior and exterior of the home has been freshly painted, and the home boasts 59 solar panels, three separate HVAC zones, under-floor radiant heat in the kitchen and family room, and a high-capacity natural gas generator. A driveway with a turnaround provides ample parking, and the location is unbeatable — just one block to Beach Drive and Rock Creek Park trails, and minutes to downtown Kensington, Bethesda, and Friendship Heights.
