Welcome to The Retro Rambler – 3202 Edgewood Rd, a Reimagined Mid-Century Modern with a Focus on Wellness and Sustainability This 5-bedroom, 3-bath home offers just under 3, 300 SF of living space including a detached studio, blending timeless design with modern comfort, health-conscious details, and high-performance living. Renovated by award-winning Symbi Homes, the transformation left no detail untouched — with a brand-new roof, systems, appliances, and finishes throughout, every space has been thoughtfully reimagined for beauty, functionality, and well-being. From the moment you arrive, the home’s curb appeal makes a statement. Clean modern lines, a welcoming front porch, and the striking exterior of Energy Star aluminum-clad wood windows paired with TimberHue wood-look lap siding by James Hardie define its modern aesthetic. This home is only the second in the nation to feature durable TimberHue ahead of its Spring 2026 release, shown here in Weathered Oak for an authentic wood-inspired finish that complements the home’s mid-century roots. Step inside to a front living room that can flex as a greeting area, dining room, or sitting room. From there, your eyes are immediately drawn to the striking three-level rear addition, where soaring ceilings and expansive windows flood the kitchen and family room with natural light. Anchored by a chef’s kitchen with a full island and bar seating, this open space becomes the true heart of the home. Step out to the large side balcony, spacious enough for seating and grilling — an inviting extension of the living area. This level also includes two bedrooms and a full bath, along with a versatile laundry/mudroom that serves dual purposes. Upstairs, the newly added primary suite isn’t just a bedroom — it’s a private retreat that feels like a modern tree house surrounded by treetop views and natural light. It features a spa-like bath, a beautiful private balcony, a large walk-in closet, and a small bonus room attached that can be used as an office or a cozy sitting area-your own personal haven The lower level, with its own entrance, includes two bedrooms, a full bath, kitchenette, and recreation room — ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or rental income. From here, step outside to a private patio, offering another outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining. A detached backyard studio adds even more flexibility, whether for a gym, office, or creative space. Symbi’s signature approach to health and sustainability includes: All-new high-efficiency heat pump HVAC and water heating PV-ready for future solar and EV charger Upgraded smart electric panel with energy monitoring Beyond-code insulation and air sealing Green-certified, sustainable materials Intuitive smart home automation This home will also be certified Zero Energy Ready by the U.S. Department of Energy — a rare achievement reached by fewer than 1% of new homes and remodeling projects each year. Nestled in the Homewood neighborhood of Kensington, a quiet, tree-lined community known for its walkability and charm, you’ll enjoy easy access to parks, playgrounds, and the Saturday farmer’s market. Stroll to The Dish & Dram for a cozy meal or grab a slice at Continental Pizza, along with other local restaurants. Plus, the Kensington MARC Station is within walking distance, making it easy to hop on a train into Washington, D.C. And beyond. This is more than a renovation — it’s a reimagining of what home can be: connected, efficient, and designed for a vibrant, healthy lifestyle.
