345 CHURCH St NE

Welcome to this sumptuous 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home on a lush lot in Vienna. Following a major renovation in 2022 and designed after the storybook cottages in Carmel by the Sea, the home won Honorable Mention from the Mid-Atlantic Association of Home Builders. The changes were made in keeping with the home's old world charm with a nod to modern artistry and convenience. The main floor features a living room with decorative fireplace, formal dining room, and kitchen with black brass cage foyer pendant chandelier. There are two bedrooms on this level and two full bathrooms. Upstairs is the primary suite with a sitting room with fireplace, full bathroom, and custom closet plus a cedar closet and laundry. The finished basement has additional laundry, ample storage and a half bath. Outside, formal landscaping abounds with both Japanese and English gardens, and a Trex deck, including outdoor furniture and stuaries which convey.




Exterior improvements include the addition of new triple dormer windows to the front of the primary second floor bedroom area, which required demolishing and capping the chimney. A new gable roof was added to the butler's pantry, and new roofing and gutters were installed on both the house and detached garage. The brick was parged to match the stucco on the front of the house, and stone veneer was added around the foundation and garage front. All exterior wood trim was replaced with PVC, and the butler's pantry windows and door were replaced. The entire house and garage were painted, and stone columns with finials and an antique gate were installed at the front of the property. Other exterior enhancements include an enlarged first floor primary suite window, a new skylight in the upstairs primary bathroom, new Trex decking on the second floor balcony, deer fencing in the rear, a new Trex deck alongside the garage, a new garage door and opener, professional exterior lighting in the backyard, and the installation of Japanese and English gardens.




Interior renovations were equally comprehensive. The second floor primary bathroom and walk-in closet were completely gutted and luxuriously renovated, with the closet featuring a Container Store system and LG stacked washer/dryer. The kitchen was overhauled with quartz countertops, new appliances, and shiplap ceilings in both the kitchen and sunroom. A butler's pantry was created with built-in cabinets and a wine refrigerator. Hardwood floors on the main and second levels were stripped and re-stained white, and extensive molding was added throughout. The entire interior was repainted, and LVP flooring was installed in the basement. A new Trane HVAC system with a steam humidifier was installed, along with a Mitsubishi mini split for the second floor primary suite. The first floor primary bathroom received a new vanity and fixtures, and lighting was updated throughout. Additional improvements include a redesigned living room fireplace, whole house water filtration systems, and a radon removal system.
