5 Olivewood Court • Greenbelt, MD 20770

Every detail has been considered in this central Greenbelt residence with an eye for high-end design and the preservation of the best aspects of its mid-century construction. The eat-in kitchen, with a functioning wood-burning fireplace, features Carrara marble countertops and a suite of premium appliances, including a Jenn Air gas range (older, from an era when they were built to last) and a Bosch 500 dishwasher. High-end Italian Rex Ceramiche Artistiche porcelain floors run underfoot, warmed by Suntouch underfloor heating for comfort and enegy savings in the winter. The space is beautifully illuminated by a West Elm sculptural light fixture and Juno track lighting, while a KWC faucet adds a sleek, functional touch. The home’s commitment to quality is perhaps most evident in its architectural integrity. You won't find any cheap vinyl here either on the floors or the windows. Instead, the original wooden mullioned windows have been meticulously preserved and reglazed. Outfitted with new hardware and fully intact storm windows, these big, beautiful windows invite the fullest possible amount of natural light into every room while maintaining the home’s gracious original appearance. The original hardwood floors provide unmatched beauty and warmth on the main and upper levels, while sustainable cork flooring runs through the lower level. Half a flight down from the entry level is a recreation room with a dedicated party kitchen with wet bar, making it an ideal hub for entertaining. Also on this level is a cozy bedroom or sewing room, plus a practical storage and mudroom with a door leading outside. The clean and brightly lit basement level has durable speckled garage paint on the floor, a laundry space, and storage for days. Three beds and two full baths are up a half flight from the main level. The primary bath includes Italian bluestone hex flooring and a Rohl exposed thermostatic shower system complete with a hand spray and rain head. Upgrades also include a Toto dual-flush toilet with a bidet seat, dual six-inch-deep Robern M series medicine cabinets, and a Duravit Sanagloss sink accented by Kartners Oslo series hardware. The design experience continues outdoors in a landscape created by local landscape architect Ditte McGinnes. Extensive perennial plantings and flowering trees provide year-round interest. The stonework in the front yard features Irwin Stone bluestone pavers and Delaware river rocks to create a serene, textured experience leading to the front door. This is a home defined by careful choices, quality materials and sophisticated finishes at every turn, in a neighborhood where people settle in happily and stay.
