    What's special

    Welcome to 800 Elder St NW, a masterfully reimagined residence in the heart of Takoma, DC, located just 1.5 blocks from the transformative Walter Reed redevelopment. This exceptional home seamlessly blends refined design, high-end finishes, and expansive living spaces to deliver a truly elevated living experience. Above grade, the home offers three generously scaled bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including a stunning primary suite designed as a private retreat. The suite features a spa-inspired bath with premium finishes and an expansive custom walk-in closet. Each additional bedroom is thoughtfully designed with its own en-suite bath, ensuring both comfort and privacy. The main level is a showcase of craftsmanship and intentional design. A welcoming reception area anchored by a fireplace sets an elegant tone, flowing into a light-filled living space and a flexible study or lounge. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is both striking and functional, featuring full custom cabinetry, sleek quartz surfaces, a professional-grade 36-inch range with vented hood, under-counter microwave, and an oversized island designed for gathering and entertaining. A bespoke pantry wall with floating shelving and a built-in beverage cooler adds a layer of sophistication. The open layout offers seamless transitions between cooking, dining, and lounging—ideal for both intimate evenings and larger-scale entertaining. The fully finished lower level expands the home’s versatility, offering a spacious recreation lounge, two additional bedrooms, a beautifully appointed full bath, and a dedicated laundry area, along with substantial storage—perfect for guests, extended stays, or a private work-from-home environment. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a large rear deck overlooking a professionally curated, level yard, creating a serene setting for entertaining or relaxation. Off-street parking adds everyday convenience without compromise. Positioned just moments from The Parks at Walter Reed, this home offers immediate access to one of Washington’s most dynamic and thoughtfully designed lifestyle destinations. Anchored by Whole Foods Market, the development features an evolving collection of curated retail and dining, including destinations like The Charmery, Mezeh Mediterranean Grill, and Starbucks. With its walkable design, central green spaces, and vibrant community atmosphere, Walter Reed has quickly emerged as a premier neighborhood hub for dining, wellness, and connection. This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey, design-driven residence in a location defined by growth, convenience, and enduring appeal—where luxury living meets one of DC’s most exciting urban transformations.
