Upon the first moment you step inside this home in Chevy Chase Village, vintage, 1923, it makes you feel warm and happy all over. It is not just the gorgeous furnishings, but the high ceilings, —over 9 feet—, larger than usual windows and the marvelous carved moldings, fireplace mantle and site view of the handsome staircase at the back of the home. The covered front porch opens to the formal living room and a peek into the formal dining room to the right. Large windows abound in this home and both rooms enjoy them on two sides. Hardwood floors run throughout the home and are original. Those areas you might want renovated, have been. You will love the recently redone kitchen. Every detail has been thoughtfully chosen with a kitchen expert and the owners who enjoy the kitchen for cooking and casual eating. There are plenty of white cabinets, some with glass fronts, grey quartz countertops, marble backsplash, terrific appliances, white cabinet fronted refrigerator and hardwood floors. A round table was commissioned just for this space. The owners wisely sited the oversized under-mounted sink right where the south facing windows span the back of the kitchen enjoying views of their deep back yard with grass, plentiful perennials and hardscape. A side rear door opens to the deck with benches and table space for many. Also on this level is a large room that can be a family room, library, study, whatever the need. It also has an abundance of light from windows south and east facing. The second floor has four bedrooms and two full baths, both of which have been renovated and will appeal to the taste of today’s buyers. One is a hall bath with a tub/shower and the other is a jack-n-jill bath with a walk-in shower. The third floor has another full bath, more vintage, a bedroom or office as you see fit, and a great cedar closet for extra storage. Head to the lower level, which is a walkout to the fenced back yard. Here is a recreation room, a kitchenette, a full bath, a bedroom, an office/study, the laundry room and a mechanical room. There is good light from large south facing windows and a French door that leads to a large flagstone patio, grass, hardscape and a one car attached garage. The slate roof is kept in shape with inspections and replacement of tiles as needed and was recently serviced. The boiler is from 2021 (radiators heat the home silently and with steady heat). The hot water heater is from 2017, and the central air system was renewed in 2021. The owner keeps the home ship shape. If you are not familiar with Chevy Chase Village, know they have a manager, and several other employees who serve the residents Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:00pm. The Village police force works 24/7 and will check your home, and pick up papers, mail, and packages, if you travel and make the request. The elected board oversees the budget, management and works to make sure residents enjoy the neighborhood. Some volunteers organize gatherings and the Village always has a Halloween party for kids, 4th of July parade and picnic, a Holiday party for young and old as well as other gatherings. Efforts are made to bring residents together.
