Property Description
Blending 1937 craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates, this elegant 6 bedroom, 4.5-bath home impresses from its flagstone walkway beneath the huge heritage Japanese red maple over 65 years old, leading up to a detailed arched entry to the private natural stone tiered backyard oasis.
Inside, original oak and heart pine floors, custom crown moldings, and brass and gold-leaf sconces frame a sun-filled living room with wood-burning fireplace and original artisan mantel. The formal dining room features walls finished in Benjamin Moore's Brushed Aluminum finish custom panel molding and an iron and gold gilt chandelier, and connects to the kitchen via a butler's pantry with wet bar, beverage refrigerator, second Bosch dishwasher, and extra disposal. The 16x16 chef's kitchen is truly designed for entertaining. Calacatta Imperial marble island, countertops and backsplash, lime-washed exposed brick, Pioneer custom cabinets built in Lancaster, PA, with premium storage, solid walnut reeded fronts island, banquette seating for congregating in the kitchen to watch the game on a smart TV recessed into the brick wall. A vintage style Walnut china wall cabinet stores your fine china, and appliances by JennAir professional suite “Rise” includes 48″ panel-front refrigerator/freezer, and Rise six-burner + griddle SS with brass trim gas range with dual ovens, a drawer microwave conveniently built into the island, and Zephyr ventilation system built recessed high in the ceiling out of view. Walls of black Pella counter-to-ceiling windows and French doors flood the space with light and open to antique brick and flagstone patios, landscaped gardens, and a detached garage with private parking pad in the rear alley entrance.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a spa bath with heated Calacatta Chablis herringbone marble floors, floor-to-ceiling rain shower includes second shower head and handheld spray convenient to the marble bench. Centered in the 16' long bath, is the soaking tub framed by triple windows, double 36” marble vanities, brass sconces brass framed mirrors, polished-nickel faucets and shower hardware, Toto washlet, and walk-in closet. Additional bedrooms share a sophisticated traditional pattern in the pure white Thassos marble tile hall bath.
The finished top floor adds Bedrooms #4 and #5—shown as a gathering/seating room plus a separate bedroom, configured as the home's second master suite or family lounge, with vaulted ceilings, exposed oak collar-tie beams, charming window seat beneath new Pella windows, additional unfinished attic storage, separated by a stylish full bath with vaulted ceiling, pedestal sink, black herringbone mosaic floors, soft gray walls tiled to the ceiling, and six-foot soaking tub/rain shower combination.
The lower level provides flexible living: a bright family room/play area, legal guest bedroom #6 with egress, barn-door–concealed laundry with custom cabinetry and birch butcher-block counter, plus excellent storage.
Spray-foam insulation (R-21) throughout delivers superior thermal performance, moisture control, structural strength, and noise reduction—eliminating thermal bridging, lowering HVAC costs, and making every level consistently comfortable year-round. Two-zone gas HVAC, an 80-gallon water heater, drainage upgrades, and a 50-year architectural shingle roof ensure lasting peace of mind.
Set on a quiet, tree-lined Chevy Chase DC block, this home is a short stroll to Lafayette Elementary, Broad Branch Market, Avalon Theatre, Chevy Chase Community Center, Rock Creek Park, and local dining—prestigious St. John's College High School is just a 9-minute walk—with convenient access to Friendship Heights Metro, Military Road, and Connecticut Avenue.
