About 3134 Clayborne Ave
Character, space, and a full-scale 2022 renovation in a park-like setting
Tucked at the end of a quiet, tree-lined street and just minutes from shops, restaurants, and the Metro, 3134 Clayborne Ave offers a rare blend of architectural charm, smart updates, and generous space—both inside and out. With over a quarter acre of beautifully landscaped yard and a comprehensive, whole-house renovation completed in 2022, this home is ready for modern living without compromising character.
When you come into the house, you’ll find a main level bedroom—currently styled as a gorgeous library with floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves—and a recently remodeled full bath—perfect setup for multigenerational living, guests, or a peaceful work-from-home sanctuary. The living, dining, and den/family rooms are filled with natural light and offer easy flow for daily life and entertaining.
At the heart of the home is a chef's kitchen, reimagined top-to-bottom in 2022. Designed for serious cooking and show-stopping style, it features 42" Wolf soft-close cabinetry, stunning white granite countertops, an induction cooktop in the center island, wall oven and microwave, and a custom Samsung Bespoke glass refrigerator.
The expansive family room is where real life unfolds—featuring a wood-burning fireplace, a built-in wet bar with wine fridge, and sliding doors that lead to a large deck and lush backyard. There’s space to garden, play, host, or just breathe. And when you want to explore more? You're steps from a hidden gem neighborhood park, just minutes from nationally known Huntley Meadows (a birder’s paradise), and close to the GW Parkway for scenic bike rides and drives.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers custom built-ins and an en suite bath. Three additional bedrooms all boast vaulted ceilings and fantastic natural light. A second full bath has been updated with new lighting, a new shower door, bath fan, and fresh paint. Don’t miss the large upstairs laundry room with steam washer/dryer, bonus mini sidekick washer, and tons of storage.
