About This Home

As of November 2021

NEW PRICE! You will want to see this spectacular and fully renovated historic home in highly desirable Chevy Chase, Maryland! Located on a large 16,000 sq. ft. level lot, this 5 BR, 4.5 BA beautiful, turnkey home has every amenity you could want, including several rooms that can be used for home offices, home gym, pool, and plenty of entertainment space. It is also just a short walk to the Chevy Chase Country Club. This Italian Renaissance Revival style home, known as Mills House and listed on the Maryland Historic Trust's Inventory of Historic Properties, has a classic and breathtaking façade with a multitude of magnificent windows and a semi-circular drive that surrounds magnolia trees. As gorgeous as the home is viewed from the outside, its grand splendor is matched by a recent exquisite renovation under the auspices of a NYC-based interior designer. The home includes soaring ceilings (nearly 10 feet), a grand hallway entrance with black and white marble tiles, three working fireplaces, a stunning living room with coffered ceilings, a beautiful library, and a master suite with an 180 square foot walk-in closet. This stately home has a gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, including a Wolf Stove, Subzero Refrigerator, separate refrigerated beverage drawers, and top of the line built-in/plumbed Miele PureLine M-Series Whole Bean Coffee System (freshly ground coffee/espresso/cappuccino). There is also a luxurious master bath with Porcelanosa marble and top of the line Lefroy Brooks fixtures and 12” double shower heads, freestanding tub with built-in lighting and heat, Sensowash toilet/bidet, industrial-style Gridscape shower, Electric Mirror lighted built-in shower mirror, heated towel rack, and heated floors. The home also has a laundry area near the master suite and a separate laundry room to accommodate guests and pool visitors. With a fabulous yard, large swimming pool, parking for 8-10 cars and a detached garage, indoor/outdoor networked AV system with four-zone WiFi hot spots designed by Bethesda Systems, and professional lighting by Vernon Daniel Lighting, this property is ideal for all types of family and professional events. The home also includes a Tesla electric charging station.

The house also has a wonderful history. One of the early producers of NBC's Today show and son of the powerful head of Paramount Studios during Hollywood's Golden Age, made Mills House his family's home in the 1960s. The house is also featured prominently in two books - Decorating: The Professional Touch, authored by an interior designer who resided in the home for four decades, and Places in the Past.
