Property Description
A Grande Dame Awaiting Her Next Chapter and Now Cleared of Contents For the first time in 100 years, this stately Chevy Chase residence is available. A rare opportunity to own a true grande dame that has gracefully stood the test of time. Perfectly sited on a wide 7,100-square-foot lot, the home exudes classic 1920s charm and architectural integrity, surrounded by neighboring trees and elegant homes. Step inside to discover soaring ceilings, exquisite moldings, and graciously scaled rooms that speak to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The inviting living room features a wood-burning fireplace and French doors leading to a delightful side porch, ideal for morning coffee or evening conversation. A formal dining room, spacious table-space kitchen, and powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, a beautiful central landing leads to four generous bedrooms and two full baths. Pull-down stairs provide access to a large attic for future expansion or convenient storage. The expansive unfinished lower level offers endless potential, with laundry, storage space, and a powder room already in place. Outside, a detached one-car garage and wide, level backyard provide both practicality and promise. Ideally positioned between the Connecticut and Wisconsin Avenue corridors, this home enjoys easy access to the shops, restaurants, and Metro. Bring your vision and creativity-this is a once-in-a-century opportunity to restore and reimagine one of Chevy Chase DC's architectural treasures into a showpiece for the next generation.
