Description

Set on a quiet residential street in Chevy Chase DC, this thoughtfully expanded single-family home blends period charm with practical everyday living. Warm, welcoming spaces flow easily from one room to the next, with flexible areas both inside and out that offer room to grow over time. From the inviting front porch to the alley-access garages and attic expansion potential, the home balances character, functionality, and opportunity in one of Northwest DC’s most established neighborhoods.The main level begins with a traditional entry foyer and coat closet, opening into a bright living room centered around an original fireplace, conveyed as-is. Just off the living room, a covered front porch creates an easy extension of the living space. The dining room sits at the center of the home, connecting the formal and informal spaces while providing access to the full bath and rear family room addition. The kitchen has a distinctly classic feel, with substantial overhead beams, a practical layout, integrated laundry, and a casual breakfast nook that gives the space warmth and personality. At the rear, the expanded family room offers generous living space with a full wall of built-in bookcases and storage while overlooking the decks and rear yard.Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a front-facing primary suite with its own private bath and shower. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath with an original cast iron tub. Above, the unfinished attic offers exceptional future potential for additional living space, whether envisioned as a guest suite, playroom, studio, or sitting room, with an adjoining area positioned above the existing bath that may lend itself well to a future bathroom addition. The lower level includes a workshop area with plumbing already in place, including a separate water closet, stall shower, and utility sink. Two separate alley-access garages provide parking and additional storage, while tucked-away under-deck storage helps keep outdoor essentials and trash bins neatly out of sight.Located in sought-after Chevy Chase DC, the property offers a rare combination of residential calm and urban convenience. Connecticut Avenue retail and dining, Friendship Heights shopping, Metro access, and nearby parkland are all within easy reach, with direct connections to downtown DC, Bethesda, and major commuter routes throughout the region.
