Property Description
Blending 1937 craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates, this elegant 5-bed, 4.5-bath home impresses from the arched flagstone entry to the tiered backyard oasis.
Inside, original heart-pine and oak floors, custom crown moldings, and a wood-burning fireplace honor the home's heritage. The formal dining room features brushed-aluminum paneling and a gold-leaf chandelier, while the butler's pantry—with wet bar, mini-fridge, and second dishwasher—connects seamlessly to the gourmet kitchen.
The chef's kitchen showcases Calcutta Imperial marble, exposed brick, luxury Jenn-Air appliances (48" range, dual ovens, built-in fridge), custom Pioneer cabinetry, and an island with banquet seating and walnut china cabinet—perfect for casual gatherings or game nights. Walls of Pella windows and French doors flood the space with light and open to flagstone patios, landscaped gardens, and private parking plus a detached garage.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a marble spa bath with heated floors, rain shower, soaking tub, and walk-in closet. Additional bedrooms and a stylish hall bath with Thassos marble complete this level. The finished top floor adds a second suite with vaulted ceilings, oak collar-tie beams, a long window seat, and full bath.
The lower level features a bright family room/play area, guest bedroom with egress, laundry with barn-door enclosure, and excellent storage. Two-zone gas HVAC, spray-foam insulation, 50-year architectural roof, and drainage upgrades ensure comfort and peace of mind.
Set on a quiet, tree-lined block in coveted Chevy Chase DC—walkable to Lafayette Elementary, Broad Branch Market, Avalon Theatre, Rock Creek Park, and neighborhood dining—this home delivers timeless character, modern luxury, and unbeatable community.
