With a fascinating history as the first home built in the new DC section of Chevy Chase by the Chevy Chase Land Company in 1907, the current owners are only the third since it was originally built.
This elegant residence boasts five spacious bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, and is set on a nearly 10,000 square foot lot.
The home begins with a welcoming front porch, perfect for rocking chairs or a porch swing and enjoying your morning coffee or unwinding in the evening.
The gracious entry offers a moment to pause and unwind with a fireplace and space for displaying art. The kitchen checks all of the right boxes with stainless steel appliances, maple cabinets, and stone countertops, as well as counter seating, ample cabinet space, and a large pantry closet.
Access to the rear deck is off the kitchen, and the dining room includes three large windows and an opening to the kitchen for both informal and formal dining. The expansive family room includes a second fireplace, space for a piano, and another access point to the deck. Also on this level is a half bath just opposite the access to the lower level.
Three bedrooms and two full baths are located on the second level, including one bedroom which is en-suite with a walk-in closet. The primary suite occupies the entire third level of the home and features a spa-like bath and a large, walk-in closet. This level offers a sense of privacy and lovely tree-top views.
The lower level of the home offers many possibilities. There is flexible and open space for play, a home office, or a recreation room. The fifth bedroom includes a fireplace and over-sized windows for plenty of natural light. Finally, there is a full bath, as well as a laundry room that offers plenty of storage space.
The listing sits on nearly 10,000 square feet of beautifully landscaped grounds, offering privacy, mature trees, and plenty of room for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or even future expansions.
Situated in a highly desirable, walkable neighborhood, you’re just moments from the shops and restaurants along Connecticut Avenue, as well as parks, schools, and easy access to public transportation.
This is a rare opportunity to own a spacious, luxurious home on a substantial lot in Chevy Chase, DC, combining modern comforts with classic charm. Square footage will be updated within 24 hours.
