4212 Dresden St, Kensington, MD 20895

Property Description

A masterfully built, design-forward residence on one of the most desirable streets and lots in coveted Chevy Chase View. Perfectly positioned on one of the most sought-after streets in Chevy Chase View, 4212 Dresden Street is a truly exceptional home, meticulously maintained over the years with recent updates and fully painted - completely move-in ready. From the moment you arrive, the quality is unmistakable: a columned front porch, a flagstone walkway leading from the street and driveway, and timeless curb appeal that sets the tone for what’s inside. This approximately 6,000-square-foot custom home blends classic architecture with artisan-level craftsmanship, featuring 9-foot ceilings on all levels, rich hardwood floors with walnut inlay, beautiful millwork, and thoughtfully designed spaces for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. At the heart of the home is an expansive great room anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace, custom built-ins, and stunning natural light. The adjoining gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, offering Christiana cherry cabinetry, two islands, granite countertops, and a full suite of Thermador appliances, including double convection ovens, warming drawer, wine cooler, and more, along with a walk-in pantry and built-in butler’s pantry. A few steps down, the home offers an oversized two-car garage with a convenient entry into a true mudroom and separate laundry room, perfect for keeping daily life organized and tidy. From this level, there is also direct access to a large deck and expansive backyard. The outdoor setting is a standout: one of the neighborhood’s largest lots, offering rare space and privacy, with plenty of room to accommodate a pool, sport court, or simply enjoy the yard as-is. The upper level features a spacious primary suite with a sitting room (or nursery), built-ins, and a walk-in closet, plus a luxurious bath with soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and double vanities. Three additional bedrooms are generously sized and include walk-in closets—two share an updated hall bath, while the third offers a private en-suite bathroom. The lower level is equally impressive: an above-ground walk-out with natural light, direct backyard access, and an incredible in-law suite with a private entrance, full kitchen, dining and living spaces, two bedrooms, and a full bath. Whether used for guests, an au pair, extended family, or multi-generational living, it offers unmatched flexibility. A separate space provides the perfect spot for movie nights, a playroom, or another hangout area. This is a rare offering, where craftsmanship, space, and location come together beautifully in one of the most beloved neighborhoods in the area.
