Welcome to 1636 Kalmia Road NW, a stately detached brick Colonial offering nearly 4,000 square feet of living space on a spacious corner lot in sought-after Colonial Village. With five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, hardwood floors, two wood-burning fireplaces, a private driveway, and extensive hardscaping, this home offers an impressive combination of space, character, and versatility.
The main level opens through a welcoming entry framed by columns and flows into generous living and dining spaces. The expansive living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and opens to a screened-in porch, creating an easy transition to the patio and fenced backyard. The kitchen features appliances replaced in 2023 and connects seamlessly to the dining area, while a powder room adds convenience. The main level also features the primary bedroom, complete with a recently renovated walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom, plus a separate private office accessible from the rear—ideal for working from home or creating a dedicated flex space.
Upstairs, you will find three additional bedrooms and recently renovated bathroom. The lower level adds approximately 1,200 square feet of flexible living space with a family room, additional bedroom, full bathroom, laundry, a second wood-burning fireplace, and direct access to the yard—plenty of room for guests, recreation, a gym, or additional work-from-home space.
Outside, the corner lot provides a sense of openness rarely found in the city, with a fenced backyard, extensive hardscaping, patio, screened porch, mature landscaping, and driveway parking. Just steps from Lowell School Park and Shepherd Park, with Rock Creek Park and 16th Street nearby, the home offers easy access to Silver Spring and Chevy Chase while enjoying the residential charm of Colonial Village and all that Upper Northwest DC has to offer.
