Luxurious New Construction in Exclusive Franklin Park – 1843 Rhode Island Ave

Picturesquely set on a private 0.82-acre lot in coveted Franklin Park, this stunning new 8.5BR/8BA, 9,269 sqft residence at 1843 Rhode Island blends modern craftsman architecture with ultra-luxury finishes and rare outdoor amenities. Wrapped in durable HardiePlank siding with manicured landscaping, a heated driveway, and inviting covered front and rear porches, the home makes an immediate statement before you even step inside.

Designed for today’s lifestyle, the expansive interior showcases onsite-finished hickory hardwood flooring, high ceilings, abundant natural light, a crisp designer color palette, and an organically flowing floorplan ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A sophisticated formal dining room with coffered ceilings anchors the main level, while expansive Anderson 400-Series windows frame gorgeous elevated wooded views from multiple rooms.

At the heart of the home, the open-concept gourmet kitchen impresses with gorgeous inset custom cabinetry, top-of-the-line stainless-steel Thermador appliances, a 48" range top, double wall ovens, two dishwashers, a 36" refrigerator, a 30" freezer, a 24" wine/mineral water refrigerator, an oversized center island with seating, breakfast bar, dual pantries, a butler’s pantry, and a sunny breakfast nook. The adjoining great room, centered around a 48" gas fireplace, opens into a Florida room—a light-filled, all-season indoor/outdoor living space that captures the home’s elevated wooded backdrop.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, featuring two enormous walk-in closets, a sitting room, a wet bar with fridge, and a private covered outdoor deck oasis—a roofed sanctuary perfect for morning coffee or unwinding in total privacy. The spa-inspired en suite bath is finished in extensive marble with a double vanity, soaking tub, and generous shower. Every secondary bedroom enjoys its own en suite bath, and the in-law/au pair suite offers outstanding flexibility for multigenerational living.

The upper-level loft with attached full bath adds another layer of usable space for a playroom, office, or guest area, while a conveniently located second-floor laundry room enhances daily function.

The lower level is an entertainer’s dream, offering a theater, gym, glass-wall wine cellar, potential 9th bedroom, game room, and a kitchen-sized wet bar with wine refrigerator, dishwasher, and sink—perfect for hosting events or game nights.

Outside, the property truly shines. The backyard offers over 13,000 sqft of usable, private, level outdoor space, ideal for a future pool, sport court, or curated garden setup—all set against a wooded, elevated backdrop that feels worlds away while still just minutes from downtown Washington, DC and Tysons Corner.
