Situated in the coveted Kentlands community, 127 Thurgood Street presents an extraordinary expression of modern luxury, architectural sophistication, and resort-caliber living in one of the region’s most walkable and beloved neighborhood settings. Completed in 2020 by prestigious local builder, Mitchell & Best and encompassing approximately 11,500 square feet, this exceptional residence blends timeless design with the comfort and efficiency of newer construction, and is ideally situated moments from the Kentlands clubhouse, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball court, parks, lakes, playgrounds, walking trails, boutiques, and within walking distance to over 20 restaurants, bars and coffee shops.

A stately stone-front porch with a wood-paneled ceiling sets the tone for the craftsmanship found throughout. Ten-twelve ft ceilings across four finished levels, wide-plank hardwood flooring with built-in radiant heat establish an atmosphere of quiet refinement. The main floor features a dedicated music room with baby grand piano, a private office with custom built-ins, a formal dining room with tray ceiling, built-in cabinetry, and a family room anchored by a 50-inch gas fireplace with integrated surround sound.
At the heart of the home is an exceptional chef’s kitchen with dual Cambria quartz islands and an elite suite of professional appliances, including a Wolf range with four gas burners and double-wide griddle, Miele refrigerator, freezer columns, two Cove dishwashers and custom cabinetry. The kitchen opens to an extraordinary four-season room and lounge with dramatic eight-foot recessed sliding glass doors. Radiant heated tile floors, retractable screens and a double-sided 42-inch gas fireplace, transforms this space into a year-round retreat. A mudroom with eight-person cubbies, built-in desk, farm sink and custom built-in closet completes the main level.

The second level is anchored by a primary suite of exceptional elegance. A fireplace, custom built-in bookshelves, and window bench create a sense of sanctuary, while a private sitting room with wet bar and wine refrigerator adds another layer of luxury. The spa-inspired primary bath features heated floors, a freestanding soaking tub with waterfall spout, a smart steam shower with aromatherapy, and a recessed waterfall shower. Dual custom walk-in closets and access to a private deck complete the suite. Four additional bedrooms, including 3 en-suites and a Jack-and-Jill suite with six-foot soaking tub and heated towel rack, plus a dedicated laundry room, offer beautifully finished accommodations.
The top floor adds two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a yoga studio featuring its own secret bookshelf door. An elevator and thoughtfully integrated hidden passages throughout the home add a distinctive layer of charm.

The lower level is a destination unto itself complete with bar area and an inviting recreation room featuring a 50-inch gas fireplace, pool table, and 10-foot shuffleboard table complete the entertainment experience.  Enter the barrel-vaulted, wood-lined wine café into a custom wine cellar. Guests may want to stay in the hidden bedroom on this floor. Most extraordinary is the private indoor aquatic center featuring a built-in endless pool with dual resistance jets, heated tile floors, and custom Alex Turco wall murals. A fully equipped gym, five-person infrared sauna, and six-person Marquis hot tub complete this wellness retreat.
Outdoor living is equally well conceived, with a main-level deck featuring a built-in gas grill, pizza oven, and refrigerator. Two EV chargers, an in-ground smart sprinkler system, and whole-home and exterior sprinkler systems reflect the home’s thoughtful integration of modern technology.
