About This Home
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own one of the iconic homes of Chevy Chase DC! On a corner lot just one block off Connecticut Avenue with one of the neighborhood’s most appreciated gardens, this East- and South-facing house boasts more than 3600 square feet above grade of well-lit living space, with six bedrooms and 3 ½ bedrooms, not including a surprisingly bright self-sufficient 1-bedroom 1-bath modern basement space with its own kitchen. Solar panels (owned) help reduce your carbon footprint.
The classic interior includes elegant architectural elements, including crown moldings and high ceilings that add sophistication. With a formal dining room includes built-in cabinetry, original hardwood floors throughout that provide durability and charm, and a wood fireplace set the stage for a timeless family home.
Just as rare and appealing is the neighborhood with its small-town vibe, a location with everything within a few blocks, including the local post office, banks, the Avalon theater, Magruder’s, CVS, Safeway, coffee shops, playgrounds, and enough restaurants to dine at a different location each night of the week.
Upon entering the home one immediately feels a sense of creativity, safety, and community. Not surprising, given its pivotal role as a gathering place in the 60’s and 70’s of local activists whose energy and optimism was catalyzed within the walls of this special home.
Solar Panels convey along with SREC's. Newer Central AC on main and lower levels, recent mini-splits in upper bedrooms on levels 3 & 4. Please note side yard is part of property in addition to the front yard along 39th & Livingston.
