Property Description
A rare and beautiful offering in the heart of Chevy Chase, this distinguished 1914 pebble-dash stucco residence is the grand dame you have been waiting for. Gracefully sited on a sunny south-facing 6,750 square foot lot, this exceptional home blends timeless architectural character with thoughtfully updated spaces across more than 4,400 square feet above grade and just moments from Connecticut Avenue's beloved shops and restaurants, Metro, and Friendship Heights. From the welcoming front porch, step inside and immediately feel the warmth and elegance of another era. A gracious entrance foyer opens to beautifully preserved chestnut floors with intricate mahogany inlay, soaring ceilings, generous room proportions, and wide cased openings that create effortless flow throughout the main level. Rich architectural details abound from substantial moldings to original millwork offering a level of craftsmanship rarely found today. The elegant living room is anchored by a striking wood-burning fireplace with exquisite floor to ceiling chestnut detail, creating a warm and sophisticated gathering space with room enough for a grand piano. Adjacent, the formal dining room connects seamlessly to the heart of the home: a timeless chef's kitchen featuring custom wood cabinetry, soapstone countertops, a classic white farmhouse sink, a Wolf gas range with griddle, white subway tile backsplash, and a handsome center wood island. The kitchen opens naturally to the rear family room with table space, a gas fireplace, access to the side screened porch, and a convenient powder room and coat closet; spaces perfectly designed for everyday living and entertaining alike. Upstairs, the second level offers heart of pine flooring, four spacious bedrooms and two beautifully renovated baths, including a serene primary suite with sitting area, walk-in closet, and a luxurious bath with dual vanities, separate shower, and soaking tub. Fixed stairs lead to the finished third floor with two additional bedrooms or office spaces, a full bath with separate tub and shower, and additional storage rooms. The finished lower level adds exceptional flexibility with a recreation room, au pair or guest suite, powder room, laundry, and additional storage. Outside, the private rear yard is fully fenced and framed by mature landscaping, with a parking pad tucked discreetly behind the home. Rich with history, architectural beauty, and enduring character yet ideally located for modern city living, 3839 Livingston Street NW is a truly special Chevy Chase residence and a rare opportunity to own one of the neighborhood's enduring treasures. Welcome home.
