Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified the architect. The architect’s name is David Knudson not David Hudson.
The owner of the Georgian house in the Kent neighborhood of Northwest Washington spent more than a year working with architect David Knudson designing a home that would be suitable for large-scale entertaining as well as intimate family gatherings.
Built by Encore Development in 2004, the six-level, 14,000-square-foot house is enormous, but it doesn’t feel cavernous. A gated entrance leads to the circular drive in front of the house. Four stately columns guard the solid mahogany front door.
A wide central hallway with arches draws your eye to the back of the home. Many houses place the stairs immediately in front of you as you enter. In this home, the stairs are pushed all the way to the back of the house, where they are encased in a turret-like structure with windows overlooking parkland.
The public rooms — sitting, living and dining rooms, and kitchen — that flank the hallway are well proportioned. Not so small that you feel crowded, but not so big that you feel you have to shout to be heard across the room.
It is the attention to detail and clever touches throughout the home that make it special. In the formal dining room, a closed-circuit camera allows the staff to know when everyone has finished the soup course. Pocket doors in the hallway that leads from the stairs to the family bedrooms can be pulled shut and locked to prevent guests from seeing your daughter’s messy room. Also on the bedroom level is a mini-kitchen, so you don’t have to go downstairs for your coffee in the morning or to warm up soup for a sick child.
French doors in the master suite open to a balcony that overlooks Battery Kemble Park, ideal for unwinding with a glass of wine after a long day. The master bathroom has an outdoor and indoor shower, as well as a separate soaking tub.
The third floor is an enormous entertaining space with coffered ceilings that could host a banquet or the biggest slumber party ever. There’s a kitchen and two powder rooms on that floor, as well.
You can reach the roof deck either by the stairs or an elevator that runs to all six floors. The spacious terrace provides a panoramic vista of the District, Maryland and Virginia.
There are two basements. The subbasement houses the mechanical systems. The on-grade basement has a two-bedroom staff apartment, a 1,200-bottle wine cellar, and an exercise room with sauna and bathroom.
The back of the home has many terraces, balconies and patios where you can bask in the serenity of the quiet neighborhood, parkland views and soothing sound of the waterfall. Next to the infinity pool is a two-level guesthouse with two wood-burning fireplaces, a small kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom.
The seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom house has been on and off the market for four years now. Its price has come down from $10.5 million in 2014 to $8.2 million.

A vision of neighborly courtyards enticing residents to engage in impromptu conversations and community gatherings inspired a new residential development in Annapolis, Md.
Annapolis Townes at Neal Farm, about a mile from Route 50 and not far from the heart of Maryland’s capital city, is a development of four-story townhouses that aspires to “stylish urban living.”
Bruce Harvey, president of Williamsburg Homes, said Annapolis Townes is the company’s first development with a courtyard theme. Each courtyard is made up of the landscaped patios of several townhouses. The patios, bordered by low brick walls and a low fence, are lined up on both sides of a walkway.
Dawn Rubin said the courtyards were so appealing to her that she waited to buy a townhouse until she could get one on a courtyard. Rubin moved to Annapolis Townes from Howard County after closing on her townhouse in early November.
Once completed, the community will have 50 townhouse units — most on a courtyard and others with a view overlooking a wooded conservation area. The floor plan is essentially the same for each, with some tweaks to accommodate homeowners’ preferences. For instance, Harvey said, Williamsburg Homes just started offering an additional bedroom on the ground level in lieu of an office.
“I looked at a lot of new townhome communities in Annapolis, and, honestly, this one was the best because [the units were] four stories,” Rubin said. “And I love how each bedroom has a private bathroom.”
Harvey said that not many expensive upgrades are offered with the Annapolis Townes units, which means there are fewer ways to raise the cost above the base price. And Rubin said that “a lot of the features that you think might be upgraded” are standard.
Four finished levels : The townhouses come with four levels of finished living space, including the first or entry level.
The front entrance leads into a space, about 10 feet by 12 feet, that can be used as an office or studio. A two-car garage and a powder room are also on the ground level. A stairway near the entrance leads to the second level, where the kitchen is located between the family/living room and dining room.
The model townhouse has dark hardwood flooring throughout the second level, along with decorative ceiling moldings. The kitchen has earth-tone granite countertops and an oversize center island with a built-in sink and room for a
few stools.
“I love the kitchen, the family room and the dining room, it’s stunning,” said Rubin, who also likes the seamless transition between those spaces. Pendant light fixtures hang above the island and complement the recessed lighting found throughout this level.
The living room in the model townhouse has a gas fireplace and optional built-in shelves surrounding it. There are plenty of windows, including a wall of windows in the living room with a door leading to an outdoor deck.
Outdoor spaces : In addition to courtyard patios that come with many units, all the townhouses have a deck off the living room and a fourth-floor roof terrace.
The third level has two bedrooms with full bathrooms. The owner’s suite has a walk-in closet and a bathroom with a double-sink vanity. The two bedrooms are on opposite ends of the floor. On the hallway between them, there is a laundry room with an energy-efficient washer and dryer.
A third bedroom is on the top floor, tucked behind an open loft with an optional fireplace. The loft opens onto a rooftop terrace. The top floor is where Rubin chose to have her bedroom.
“I love how I have a balcony and a loft, so I kind of have my own little apartment up there. It’s lovely,” she said. Rubin said she also likes the townhouse’s dual-zone air-conditioning and heating units, with one dedicated to the top floor. She said that this way “it doesn’t get super-hot upstairs as it does in most townhouses.”
Nearby: The development is within walking distance of
Annapolis Towne Center’s many shopping and dining options, and it’s a short drive from the city’s historic district downtown and the U.S. Naval Academy.
Schools : Hillsmere Elementary, Annapolis Middle and Annapolis High.
Transit : The community has easy access to Route 50. The closest D.C.-area Metro station is in New Carrollton, Md., about 20 minutes away.
504 Joseph Johnson Dr., Annapolis, Md.
The townhouses are priced from the upper $400,000s.
Features : The townhouses have four finished levels, nine-foot-high ceilings throughout, a two-car garage, a balcony, a roof terrace, granite kitchen countertops, a gas fireplace with a granite surround, stainless-steel appliances, main-level hardwood flooring, and a laundry room on the bedroom level with an energy-efficient washer and dryer.
View models : 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed Thursday and Friday.
