A rare offering located in the heart of welcoming and friendly Chevy Chase DC on one of NW DC's neighborhood's prettiest blocks. Renovated by award-winning Zantzinger & Associates, this well crafted and lovingly maintained 4-level home oozes curb appeal. The location is incomparable with blue ribbon Lafayette Elementary school and park & green space right in your back yard.

As you come up the welcoming front walkway, you're surrounded by storybook charm and lush, landscaped grounds; as you enter into the home's foyer you're greeted with custom detailing including a charming built-in bench seat, powder room and gleaming hardwood floors -- and an ideal, gracious floor plan that delivers the space for how we live and work today. The spacious living room with a fire place and original mantle flows into the formal dining room ideal for both entertaining and nightly family dinners. The gourmet chef's kitchen -- with stainless steel appliances, island seating, custom cabinetry, a pantry and ample counter space is open to the sunny breakfast room for casual dining -- flows perfectly into the heart of the home: a large, light-flooded family room with high ceilings, coffered detailing and built-in bookcases and media cabinet.

The second floor delivers just what today's buyers want: four nicely sized bedrooms including the generous primary suite -- a true retreat with large windows flooding the space with morning light including a seating area and custom built-in shelving; hardwood floors; a large walk-in closet and additional closet; and en suite full bath with double sinks, separate shower and soaking tub. Three more bedrooms and a full bath with a vintage vibe and double sinks round out this floor. The upper level with skylights has a bonus room and the fifth bedroom (or use as an office), built-in shelving, and loads of storage. The lower level delivers even more living space with newly installed carpet in the spacious family/recreation room which can also be used as an au pair, guest or in-law suite -- a full bath with shower and a separate walk-in laundry room.

The rear of the home is a dreamy, private oasis with expansive stone terraces and mature and lush plantings and grassy space -- perfect for al fresco dining, grilling and entertaining. The yard is fully fenced and private. Charming detached shed for bikes, strollers, and/or potting and garden storage.
