5122 Albemarle St NW, Washington, DC 20016

Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Spring Valley, 5122 Albemarle Street NW is the center residence at *The Grove at Spring Valley*, a collection of three luxury homes by District495. Designed by MCD Studio, with interiors by Martha Vicas of Sophîste Studio and landscaping by Richardson & Associates, it brings together traditional architecture and a considered plan for modern living. Five bedrooms, six full baths, and a half bath span three generous finished levels. Painted brick, copper gutters, divided-light Pella windows, and a stone walk define the façade. Inside, ten-foot ceilings, high-performance glazing, and wide-plank white oak floors connect the living room, paneled dining room, and family room, anchored by a gas fireplace in a gray-veined marble surround. Glass doors open to a rear deck. A butler’s pantry pairs white cabinetry, marble counters, and a chevron marble backsplash with a lighted wine column and a Thermador double-oven suite offering speed-oven and microwave functions. The kitchen centers on a long, furniture-style island beneath two pendant lights. Soft-white cabinetry, veined stone counters, and polished metal detailing define the palette. Behind a tailored hood, the stone backsplash rises to the ceiling between two windows, with glass-front cabinets to either side. Smart, Wi-Fi-enabled Thermador appliances include a 48-inch dual-fuel range, paneled refrigerator and freezer columns totaling 60 inches, and two paneled dishwashers. A walk-in pantry and a window-wrapped breakfast room complete the plan. Upstairs, the primary suite rests beneath an illuminated tray ceiling. A dressing room and walk-in closet accompany a marble bath with mosaic tile, Waterworks fixtures, heated floors, a freestanding tub beneath a broad window, and a glass-enclosed shower. Three additional bedrooms each have an ensuite bath and a walk-in closet, and a laundry room completes the level. The lower level holds a recreation room opening to a covered patio and a wet bar with gray cabinetry, veined stone, illuminated shelves, and a beverage cooler. A wellness space or office, a fifth bedroom with a walk-in closet, and a full bath extend the plan. A mudroom with built-in storage, a second laundry area, and another full bath serve the rear grounds. Landscaped grounds include planted borders, lawn, landscape lighting, a bluestone terrace, stepping stones, and a gas line for a future grill. Stairs link the deck to the terrace below. Off the public alley, a detached two-car garage has a standing-seam metal roof and two EV charging outlets. A ZIP System envelope, rainscreen, layered foundation waterproofing, passive radon mitigation prewired for an active system, exceptional airtightness, and a conditioned attic support lasting performance. Carrier HVAC with dehumidification, Nest thermostats on every level, CAT6 wiring, and integrated indoor and outdoor speakers keep the home current. New utility lines and dedicated internet conduits are buried underground. A fully framed elevator shaft spans all three levels for future installation. 5122 Albemarle Street NW brings considered materials and a distinctive new address to The Grove at Spring Valley.
