Description of 3605 Van Ness St, Washington, DC 20008
Listing details for 3605 Van Ness St, Washington, DC 20008 : Classic 1928 Architecture Meets a Fully Re-Engineered Interior
Luxury reaches new heights in North Cleveland Park with this exquisitely re-imagined semi-
detached brick Tudor. Balancing timeless 1920s soul with a high-performance infrastructure
overhaul, this home is a "turnkey" sanctuary designed for modern refinement and absolute
peace of mind.
A COMPLETE RE-ENGINEERING (TAKEN TO THE STUDS)
Unlike a standard renovation, this home underwent a total transformation in 2016. The interior
was taken down to the studs to allow for a complete replacement of all electrical and
plumbing systems (fully DC-permitted). The home was rebuilt with new, thick-gauge drywall
throughout, providing superior structural integrity and exceptional sound dampening between
rooms.
Every single window in the home was upgraded to high-performance Triple-Pane glass,
designed to fold inward for effortless maintenance.
For year-round comfort, a precision climate system features Central Air for bedrooms and
attic spaces, complemented by a high-efficiency Split System for the living room, kitchen,
dining area, and lower level.
ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRITY & MODERN COMFORT
The home’s freshly painted exterior and enchanting arched porch offer undeniable curb
appeal. Inside, the beautifully curated interior celebrates its historic soul with original
hardwood floors; during the renovation, matching period-correct flooring was sourced for the
kitchen to ensure a seamless, authentic aesthetic. These original details, including the
staircase and window trims, were meticulously preserved alongside essentials like a tank-
less water heater, a heavy-duty sump pump, and a high-efficiency climate control system.
GIGABIT-READY PERFORMANCE
Designed for the modern professional, the home is fully re-wired with Cat6 Ethernet in every
room. This gigabit-ready infrastructure ensures unrivaled connectivity for high-capacity work
from home requirements, 8K streaming, and secure networking throughout all four levels.
A CULINARY SHOWPIECE & OUTDOOR KITCHEN
The heart of the home is a chef’s dream kitchen outfitted with premium Thermador
appliances, including integrated wine refrigeration, and a statement island designed for
sophisticated entertaining. The space flows effortlessly to a private outdoor retreat featuring a
custom pergola, a spacious deck, and a bluestone patio. The professional-grade outdoor
kitchen, featuring a stone-faced Broil King Imperial XLS grill and integrated sink.
SPA-INSPIRED SANCTUARIES
The primary suite is a sunlit sanctuary featuring a spa-inspired en-suite bath with floor-to-
ceiling single-slab marble, radiant heated flooring, and a luxury Signature Hardware Giana
jetted tub with remote functionality. The uppermost level offers a versatile, airy space perfect

lounge and a wet bar with a full-size Samsung dishwasher and beverage fridge.
