A cannot miss opportunity! *** This elegant Federal home in coveted Chevy Chase Village offers the best of two worlds: a quiet, suburban retreat with vibrant urban amenities (Friendship Heights Metro, multiple parks, shops, and restaurants) just steps away. *** With more than 4,400 square feet of finished space – and nestled on a corner lot-and-a-half – this 4 Bed/3.5 bath home is what dreams are made of. *** Filled with natural light, the generously sized rooms on the first floor feature nine-foot ceilings and thoughtful detailing – providing congenial flow for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. A gracious entryway leads to a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace flanked by double doors. *** A stunning Ankie Barnes expansion features a cook-friendly kitchen with a sizeable island, pantry, and china cabinet; an adjoining family room – so the cook doesn't miss any of the action! – with stately built-ins and crown moldings, plus another fireplace; a sunny breakfast room with a vaulted ceiling and three walls of windows; and a secluded study with more custom built-ins and even more windows. *** A powder room and formal dining room that can seat 12 complete the main level. *** The deck, perfect for grilling and relaxing, overlooks the large and private lot dotted with mature plantings and majestic elms, crepe myrtle and cypress trees. ***
Front and back staircases lead to a large second floor landing as well as a comfortable owner's suite with a separate sitting/dressing area, ample closet space, and an ensuite bath. Two large additional bedrooms, each with its own bath and one boasting a balcony (tree-top wine, snacks, and lemonade!) finish the second floor.
*** The third floor is a special bonus. It features a fourth bedroom and an expansive rec/playroom, along with ample storage. *** There are several rooms, including an office space, on the lower level. This partially finished multi-purpose/laundry/storage area is ready for your vision and needs. Perhaps a yoga space, home gym, or second office? *** The 12,500 sq. ft. corner lot is half again larger than many in Chevy Chase Village, and comes landscaped with more than two dozen trees, many flowering. Every window in this home offers a postcard view of the urban forest. The outdoor space is perfect for hide-and-go seek, leisurely Sunday brunches, star-lit evenings with friends and family, or a potential swimming pool. The 1.5 car detached garage also features extra storage space. *** Chevy Chase Village is well-named: it has its own post office, police force, and community hall, and provides residents with outstanding services, including twice weekly trash collection, and house checks while homeowners are away. *** Just one block north of the District line, 5600 Grove St. is a stone's throw from fine and casual dining, four grocery stores, playground and parks, shopping of all sorts on both Wisconsin and upper Connecticut Aves – and with quick access to downtown. This forever home is ready for your hopes and dreams.
