OPEN HOUSES ARE CANCELED! Step into timeless elegance at 315 E. Howell Avenue, a true Del Ray masterpiece custom-built by Windmill Hill Design. A Craftsman-style home offering over 4,700 square feet of exquisitely designed living space is undeniably covetable, blending classic architecture with luxurious finishes. Inside, natural light pours through the floor plan, dancing across rich dark hardwood floors and highlighting the home’s custom millwork in moody blues, warm taupes, and bold black accents. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a warm yet sophisticated ambiance. A gracious foyer flows into a formal dining room at the front of the home—perfect for greeting guests—while close friends and family will naturally gravitate toward the expansive family room, where a striking fireplace anchors the space. A side mudroom, conveniently located off the kitchen, makes unloading groceries a breeze without cutting through the main living areas. A designated office space off the foyer to your left allows for easy work-from-home days (meetings included!) with its custom built-ins and impeccable lighting. The gourmet kitchen is a showstopper—featuring top-of-the-line Thermador appliances, a cozy breakfast nook you’ll never want to leave, and a striking blend of bronze and brass hardware, marble and dark stone countertops, and exposed Pennsylvania walnut beams. The separate butler’s pantry offers both beauty and function, with added counter space, a beverage fridge, and ample cabinetry—perfect for entertaining or everyday use. Even the drink-making area feels like a hug in design form, wrapped in rich, comforting tones that make every moment feel intentional. Whether you're hosting a crowd or enjoying a quiet morning, this kitchen was made to impress. And when the gathering moves outside, a screened-in porch and fully fenced yard provide the perfect setting for al fresco entertaining. String up market lights around the privacy fence and swap stories with friends late into the evening—this space was designed for connection, warmth*, and comfort. The upper level offers four well-appointed bedrooms and three full baths, including a stunning owner’s suite featuring a large walk-in closet and a full bath with marble counters encasing double sinks, rich dark blue cabinetry, a modern soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower. Laundry days are made easier with the washer and dryer conveniently located on the bedroom level. Downstairs, a spacious rec room is ready to meet your needs—whether you envision a game room with foosball or a home theater to enjoy the latest movie release on the big screen. The professional’s gym is located here with commercial grade flooring and floor to ceiling mirrors reflecting perfect form. A fifth bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a separate exercise room, and ample storage complete the space. Enjoy unbeatable access to transportation—just 1.2 miles to both the Braddock Road and Potomac Yard Metros, and minutes to Reagan National Airport. Plus, easy access to I-395 ensures a smooth commute to the Pentagon, D.C., and beyond. 315 E. Howell Avenue isn’t just an address—it’s a destination for those who seek a life wrapped in both elegance and comfort. Your journey begins here. * heater for the outside? YES
