3517 Rodman St NW

Now offered at a newly introduced spring price of $3,249,000, 3517 Rodman Street presents a compelling opportunity in Cleveland Park. Just one home from the newly reimagined Hearst Park, this extraordinary setting along a quiet street offers something rare for the neighborhood. It lives with the presence of an estate sized yard, yet without the cost or maintenance. It becomes an extension of the home, changing how the property is experienced day to day. Positioned within one of Washington’s most walkable and established neighborhoods, this fully renovated 1931 Colonial balances architectural character with a more current, livable design. Spanning nearly 4,400 square feet across three levels plus finished attic space, the home offers 6 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The layout unfolds with intention, allowing each space to feel connected while maintaining a clear sense of definition. The kitchen anchors the main level and sets the tone for how the home lives. A substantial quartz island creates a natural gathering point, while custom cabinetry, integrated appliances, and tailored finishes bring a quiet sense of structure. It performs equally well for everyday living and formal entertaining, with a seamless transition into the dining area and great room that allows the space to expand or contract depending on the occasion. Two elevated screened porches span the full width of the home, extending the living spaces outward and creating a seamless connection between interior and exterior. In Cleveland Park, where indoor outdoor living is part of daily life, this is a feature of real consequence. The builder is open to installing clear inserts for year round use, and the scale allows these porches to be furnished as fully realized living spaces rather than seasonal additions. The primary suite is composed and private, centered around a wood burning fireplace and complemented by an exceptional dressing room style walk in closet with custom built ins and two dedicated shoe closets, a level of scale and design rarely found in the neighborhood. One level below, a more relaxed family room introduces a different scale of living, complete with another wood burning fireplace and direct access to a screened porch through French doors. A separate bedroom suite on this level functions easily for guests, extended family, or live in support. Behind the walls, the work has already been done. New systems, Andersen windows, a new roof, and two laundry areas bring a level of completeness that is often promised but rarely delivered. The exterior has been equally considered, with a reworked connection between the front and rear grounds and an oversized one car garage featuring an epoxy finished floor and an electric vehicle charging station. Cleveland Park remains one of the city’s most enduring neighborhoods, defined by its access to Rock Creek Park, proximity to Metro, and a collection of long standing local destinations. It is also home to some of Washington’s most respected schools, further reinforcing its appeal. This is a home with presence, clarity, and a setting that is increasingly difficult to replicate, now offered at a newly refined spring valuation of $3,249,000.
