2812 34th Street NW

Welcome to a beautifully reimagined, turn-key residence in Observatory Circle, positioned in the shadow of the iconic Washington National Cathedral. This is a home where thoughtful design, everyday livability, and timeless finishes come together with rare ease.

From the moment you arrive, the presence is undeniable. Professionally designed landscaping by Groundsmith Collective creates a refined and welcoming approach, setting the tone for what lies within.

Inside, the home unfolds with warmth and intention. A gracious living room centers around a custom limestone fireplace with a bespoke screen, offering a sense of comfort and quiet sophistication. Just beyond, the space flows seamlessly to a screened porch with a sliding panel system, allowing you to open the home to fresh air or enclose it for relaxed summer evenings. It is a feature that becomes indispensable in Washington’s warmer months.

A large formal dining room adds both elegance and versatility, perfectly suited for everyday meals as well as larger gatherings and entertaining.

The kitchen is both striking and highly functional. Paneled appliances blend seamlessly into the cabinetry, while a waterfall island anchors the space, creating a natural gathering point for everyday living and entertaining alike. Updated lighting throughout the home adds a layer of polish, elevating each room with a subtle, modern glow.

Upstairs, four en-suite bedrooms provide exceptional comfort and privacy, complemented by the rare convenience of a second-floor laundry room. The recently renovated primary bath is a standout, finished in honed marble and designed with both beauty and storage in mind. An additional en suite bedroom on the lower level, complete with a kitchenette, offers flexibility for guests, au pair, or extended stays.

Outdoor living is equally compelling. The backyard is both private and expansive, ideal for play, entertaining, or a quiet retreat, while a large detached garage provides valuable parking and storage.

Beyond the property, the neighborhood offers a lifestyle that is difficult to replicate. Enjoy immediate access to the trails of Rock Creek Park and nearby favorites along Wisconsin and Connecticut Avenues, including Whole Foods Market, cafés, and neighborhood restaurants. Beloved community destinations such as Guy Mason, Macomb, and Beauvoir playgrounds, the Beauvoir pool, St. Albans tennis courts, and the Normanstone Trail are all within easy reach, as is the ever-popular Open City Café at the Cathedral.

This is a rare offering that balances elegance with ease, delivering a home that lives beautifully day to day while offering the setting, scale, and finish expected in one of Washington’s most desirable neighborhoods.
