About This Home
As of November 2025Welcome to this stunning 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home on a spectacular .45-acre lot in the sought-after enclave of Chevy Chase Hills. This exceptional property with over 4000 sq ft of living space offers a rare combination of timeless elegance, thoughtful renovation, and modern livability—set amid lush, manicured grounds with an in-ground pool, extensive flagstone patios, and a striking serpentine stone wall that extends from front to back.
Recent renovations include a stunning reimagining of the main-level primary suite, now featuring wide-plank wood floors, added windows, and a spa-inspired ensuite bath. A renovated powder room, new appliances and countertops in the eat-in kitchen, updated lighting and hardware throughout, new carpets and stair runners, and new gutters reflect the seller’s meticulous attention to detail. Agents: please inquire for comprehensive list of upgrades.
The gracious main-level floor plan is designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. The large living room with newly added custom built-ins flows effortlessly between the formal dining room and sunroom which opens directly onto the patio, and a newly constructed IPE deck seamlessly connects the main-level primary suite to the sunroom from the outside—creating a true sense of indoor-outdoor flow. Newly installed HVAC systems now serve both the sunroom and dining room areas, ensuring year-round comfort. French doors from the kitchen open to a private patio—ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.
Upstairs, the flexible layout offers additional bedrooms with a shared bath, plus a second primary suite with an ensuite bath and a large private sitting room.
The expansive lower level (1208 sq ft) offers impressive functionality and comfort, including a spacious fifth bedroom, full bathroom, and a large recreation room—perfect as a second family room, game room, or home theater. Custom built-ins on this level include an entire wall of sleek base cabinetry, dual built-in refrigerator and freezer drawers for entertaining, and a supplemental freezer in the storage area. A generous laundry room and two storage rooms complete the space, which connects directly to the surrounding patios.
Enjoy a bucolic setting just minutes from the shops and dining of Chevy Chase Lake and future Purple Line Metro access. This is a truly extraordinary offering that combines refined architecture, exceptional flow, and magazine-worthy outdoor living in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods.
