Description

In the coveted heart of Ashton Heights, where lush tree-lined streets meet urban sophistication, 632 North Kenmore Street stands as a statement of modern artistry and refinement. Conceived by the acclaimed Ventura Group, designed by GTM Architects, and finished with interiors by Kelly Knebel Designs, the home has been thoughtfully crafted from the ground up to embody timeless elegance with a contemporary edge.

The exterior makes a charming first impression, with gray Hardie shingles, crisp white trim, and dark shutters evoking the quiet luxury of a Nantucket summer cottage. A deep paver driveway along the side leads discreetly to a private detached garage at the rear of the property. The entry, tucked beneath a welcoming portico, opens into a dedicated reception area, with a light-filled den situated just off to one side.

Inside, the ambiance is bright and ethereal. Ten-foot ceilings and eight-foot doors lend a sense of scale, while wide-plank white oak flooring and substantial Emtek hardware establish a foundation of quality. Visual Comfort and Hudson Valley light fixtures pair with WAC recessed lighting, adding layers of warmth and visual interest to the clean architectural lines.

At the center of the main level, the stair hall serves as a striking architectural core, where a sculptural white oak staircase is framed by soaring windows that flood the space with natural light. Opposite the staircase, the formal dining room is framed by a large wall of glass and perfectly scaled for hosting. A butler’s pantry with wine fridge connects seamlessly to the kitchen.

The informal living spaces span more than 30 feet across in a true open-concept layout. The family room features double sliding glass doors that open onto a screened-in porch, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection for year-round enjoyment. The adjacent chef’s kitchen is both stunning and functional, with custom Alpine cabinetry, a white oak island, quartz countertops, and a full suite of top-tier Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove appliances. A sunny breakfast area, surrounded by three walls of windows, completes the space.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers a tranquil retreat overlooking the rear lawn. A generous U-shaped walk-in closet is outfitted with custom built-ins, while the spa-inspired bath features radiant heated floors, a curbless shower, soaking tub, double vanity, and private water closet. Three additional bedrooms are thoughtfully laid out, one with an ensuite bath and two that share a large hall bath with double vanity. A full-size Electrolux washer and dryer are conveniently located in the upper-level laundry room.

The lower level echoes the main level in scale and attention to detail. A large recreation room is anchored by a wet bar with wine fridge, while a spacious fitness room and a private fifth bedroom suite offer additional flexibility.

The home is fully pre-wired for modern living, with ceiling-mounted surround sound, wireless signal boosters on every level, and a comprehensive video surveillance system, all backed by a 400-amp electrical panel to accommodate future smart home upgrades.

Out back, the level lawn is lush, fully irrigated, and perfectly proportioned, a serene and functional backdrop for outdoor entertaining or everyday play.

Located just steps from the Orange Line Metro and minutes from Washington, DC, 632 North Kenmore Street is a rare blend of architectural distinction, thoughtful functionality, and timeless design in one of Arlington’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
