Fabulous Open Kitchen, Sunlit Primary Suite, Screened Porch, Flat Backyard, and Walkability! Welcome to the heart of Chevy Chase, DC, where this beautifully expanded home offers a rare combination of elegance, scale, modern updates, original charm, and an exceptional location. Warm and filled with light, the house is as inviting as its tree-lined street and setting. It is deceptively large, with an open feel, 9-foot ceilings on the main level, gleaming hardwood floors, substantial millwork, and a classic wood-burning fireplace. The gracious dining room flows into a bright kitchen/family room with sleek quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an induction cooktop. From there, a sunny breakfast room beckons, or you can relax on the large screened porch overlooking the flat backyard. A private driveway provides tandem off-street parking and easy access to the kitchen side door, making everyday unloading especially convenient. The second level offers four very well-proportioned bedrooms, including a truly special primary suite-serene, spacious, and overlooking green views. The third floor provides a fresh and inviting den with two skylights and a closet, perfect for a home office, playroom, or guest retreat. The bright, clean lower level offers wonderful flexibility, with an au pair suite, rec/play room, bonus room, full bath, laundry, workroom, and storage/utility room. This home is less than one block from public playgrounds, tennis courts, and a recreation center. It is in-boundary for Lafayette ES, which is one block away, next to the locally beloved Broad Branch Market, which sells everything from bagels to beer-and, of course, ice cream cones. Lafayette's grounds also host a fun Saturday farmers' market. In just over half a mile, you will find neighborhood favorites and conveniences, including the historic Avalon Theatre, Birdsong, Little Beast, Magruder's grocery, wine and deli, Circle Yoga, The Fishery Seafood Market, Safeway, CVS, and more. To the east, Rock Creek Park awaits, with miles of scenic walking and biking trails easily reached through quiet neighborhood streets.
