...Rarely available in Chevy Chase, this thoughtfully designed residence delivers a highly sought-after combination of two true primary suites, a 16’×16’ gourmet kitchen, and placement within the Lafayette Elementary School boundary—offering flexibility, scale, and long-term value in one of Northwest DC’s most desirable neighborhoods.

The home’s standout feature is its dual primary suite layout, with two spacious bedroom suites, each offering a private ensuite bath. This rare configuration provides exceptional versatility—ideal for multigenerational living, long-term guests, a private home office retreat, or evolving household needs—allowing buyers to adapt the home over time without sacrificing comfort or privacy.

At the heart of the home is a 16’×16’ gourmet kitchen, notable for both its size and functionality. Designed to support everyday living and entertaining alike, the kitchen offers ample space for oversized islands, multiple prep zones, and generous dining or gathering areas, all while maintaining an easy flow to the surrounding living spaces.

Additional living and dining areas are well-proportioned and light-filled, creating a welcoming environment for both casual living and hosting. The home’s layout emphasizes livability, flexibility, and comfort—features that increasingly define buyer demand in today’s market.

Situated on a quiet, residential street yet conveniently close to neighborhood amenities, parks, shopping, and transit, the property benefits from its location within the Lafayette school district, one of Northwest DC’s most consistently sought-after public school communities and a key driver of enduring resale strength.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a home that combines layout versatility, exceptional kitchen scale, and premier school placement—a combination that is increasingly difficult to replicate in Chevy Chase at any price point.
