$2,575,000 5213 Cathedral Ave NW, Washington, DC 20016
Located in the idyllic Kent neighborhood, 5213 Cathedral Avenue NW offers 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space to accommodate six spacious bedrooms and four luxurious bathrooms across three finished levels. Blending timeless style with everyday functionality, this home is perfect for relaxed living and effortless entertaining.

The main level features a gracious floor plan with a formal living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace, a separate dining room, and an open kitchen that's a chef's dream--complete with granite countertops, a central island, and high-end stainless steel appliances including a gas stove and range hood. Adjacent to the kitchen, a second living room--also with a wood-burning fireplace--adds warmth and flexibility, creating an ideal setting for both everyday life and entertaining. A main-level bedroom with an adjacent full bath offers great versatility as a guest suite or home office. A mudroom with direct access to the backyard and detached four-car garage completes this level.

Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a renovated bath featuring a double vanity and walk-in shower, along with a custom walk-in closet. A full hall bath serves the additional bedrooms, and a conveniently located upstairs laundry room adds to the home's practical layout.

The fully finished lower level expands the home's potential with soaring 9-foot ceilings, a large family room, and a home gym with its own en-suite full bath and private entrance--ideal for a guest suite or flexible living space. A sixth bedroom, wine cellar, and plenty of storage round out this level.

The outdoor space is fully hardscaped and built for entertaining, featuring a built-in grill, outdoor kitchen, gas fire pit, and spacious patio for al fresco dining. A charming front porch with a classic swing adds curb appeal and charm.

Additional amenities include pre-wired for an impressive whole-house audio system (interior and exterior), a backup generator, and an irrigation system. Two separate rooms have been thoughtfully set up for immersive 5:1 surround sound movie audio, perfect for home theater experiences.

This location is truly unbeatable, with city living essentials along MacArthur Boulevard, the Palisades Recreation Center, highly acclaimed restaurants, and boutique shops. Additional neighborhood highlights include Carolina Park, Battery Kimble Park, easy access to the Capital Crescent Trail and Potomac River, Palisades Library, the year-round Sunday Farmers Market, and access to top-rated schools. Commuting to downtown DC, MD, or VA is a breeze with close proximity to public transportation and major roadways.
