Property Description

Quality. Condition. Location.
This delightful home of solid brick construction displays many characteristics of its more expensive neighbors. The slate roof, a dressed stone retaining wall, and the distinctive fluted moldings that surround the front door are a few of its quality features. Fully functioning exterior wood shutters are a rare detail and much appreciated by historic house lovers.
Large windows on all four sides of the house bring in light all day. Picket fencing defines the cottage gardens that surround the house, and a smartly designed patio surrounded by flowers and trees is perfect for outdoor entertaining.
Inside, a gracious foyer opens to a formal living room with a wood burning fireplace, and continues to an endearing enclosed porch with separate heating and cooling. On the opposite side of the foyer is a formal dining room, behind which is a spectacular 2020 kitchen addition. The kitchen has a peninsula that accommodates stools for the company of guests while you cook, and a cathedral ceiling, skylight, and a wall of windows that overlook the rear garden and patio. The kitchen has a pantry and convenient access to a spacious porch to organize composting and trash disposal.
There is a powder room on the main level. On the second level, there are three bedrooms. The spacious primary bedroom has two closets. There is a fully remodeled bath with a shower and a linen closet.

The lower level is finished with a family/TV room and has a full bath with a shower and a cedar closet. On the unfinished side of the lower level is a laundry, a generous storage area and utilities.
The gas boiler was replaced in 2023. The water heater was replaced in 2019. The central air conditioner was new in 2024.
There is a detached garage with alley access and a side door to the garden.
LETS TALK ABOUT THE LOCATION.
This quiet area of Chevy Chase is one of the most desirable areas of NW DC. Lafayette Elementary School is close by, and Deal MS and Jackson-Reed HS are easily accessible by bus or walking. The home is walkable and close to several parks and nearby shops and restaurants. There is ample street parking and bus routes close by, and the home is convenient to several drive routes to both downtown and nearby suburbs.
