About This Home

As of November 2024

Introducing a stunning colonial in one of our capital's most sought after neighborhoods. Situated on the quiet street of Chesapeake, yet only a few steps away from both Connecticut and Wisconsin Avenue, this location is the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience. Spanning across a 9,000 square foot lot and nearly 4,400 interior square feet, this exquisite residence is nothing short of a DC gem. While still maintaining its colonial charm, this home has been expanded on multiple levels. The main level showcases a completely remodeled and open concept kitchen with custom inset cabinetry and high-end appliances. A family room, living room, separate dining room and formal powder room complete the main level. The upper level floors offer 4 spacious bedrooms, a den, and 3 full bathrooms, with the primary bedroom offering an air of grandeur with its high vaulted ceilings and a double vanity ensuite bathroom with a separate tub and walk-in shower. The lower levels feature a bedroom, a fully finished living area, 2 full bathrooms, and extra storage spaces. Recent improvements include new exterior/interior paint and $30k of professional landscaping, hardscaping, and hardwired lighting. There is also a 3-car driveway in the back of the home. Walkable to multiple restaurants, shops, 2 metros, and parks - this location can't be beat. Schedule your showing today!
