Colonial

What we've all been waiting for! Set on a fabulous block in the popular Town of Chevy Chase this 1918 turn-key grande dame with over 5,000 square feet has been beautifully expanded and renovated, offering the elegance of 1918 along with the finishes and conveniences of today. The light-filled residence has wonderful scale and flow for entertaining and beautiful original detail throughout, including nine foot ceilings on the main level. The foyer opens to a gracious and welcoming parlor with wood burning fireplace and to a lovely formal living room with gas fireplace. The elegant dining room features custom cabinetry with arched glass doors, and a spacious chef’s kitchen with island seating and eat-in breakfast room opens into a family room overlooking the spacious backyard. Four bedrooms and three full baths, including a fabulous primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a private sitting room, two walk-in closets and lovely primary bath are on the second level. Two rooms are found on the third level - a large open room with vaulted ceiling which can serve as a playroom or office and a second room which could be a sixth bedroom. One side of the lower level includes a large recreation room, laundry and utility room. A game room, full bath and kitchenette are on the other side of the lower level, and can function as a sixth bedroom or au pair suite. There is a separate entrance to the lower level from the exterior. The beautifully planted and landscaped flat yard offers ample room for both fun and relaxation with a lovely covered porch/loggia for entertaining, large stone patio, plenty of play area and a detached one car garage. Upgrades include a 35 year roof (2012), updated 4-zone cooling system, 2018 boiler, replacement windows, battery backup power system and more. The fabulous location is steps to Chevy Chase Elementary and also near vibrant Bethesda and the metro. We don't see houses like this often - don't miss this one!
