3007 Seminary Ave

Elegant 1915 brick and slate Colonial designed by noted Virginia architect W. Duncan Lee. This rare historic residence has been owned by the same family for 60 years. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully renovated, it blends modern upgrades with preserved architectural detail. Incredibly, the original 1915 floor plans were recently found in a barn in Powhatan. Copies are now on display and allow one to glimpse back in time at how this exquisite home was designed for its first family. Enchanting light-filled interiors feature hardwood floors, high ceilings, a grand foyer with brass sconces, sweeping center stairway and French doors connecting formal living, dining, and breakfast rooms. The living room includes an original Tiffany mantel, built-ins, and access to a sunlit, all-season porch with terracotta tile. The dining room showcases dramatic original wainscoting, leaded glass diamond patterned window, and tray ceiling. A renovated kitchen by Virginia Classic Kitchen & Bath incorporates original butler’s pantry cabinetry, custom slate-blue cabinets, quartz counters, porcelain farmhouse sink, and GE Monogram appliances. Rear porch leads to garage, stone patio, and verdant, flat backyard. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a primary suite bath with marble tiled bathroom and walk-in closet and a hall bath with luxurious stand alone soaking tub. The third floor offers an oversized media/playroom with exposed brick & heart of pine floors, two additional bedrooms, and an original cedar coat closet. Exterior highlights include a brick-bordered stone patio, professionally landscaped yard with 6' deep rubber bamboo barrier, circular gravel drive, and two-car brick garage with unfinished 2nd level & newly redone slate roof. Located in Historic Ginter Park, you will love the friendly neighborhood association and proximity to interstates, Scotts Addition, and shops and restaurants in Bellevue and on Brookland Parkway.
