Property Description
The welcome begins at the street. A weathered fieldstone wall, softened by trailing ivy, encloses the front garden, where an iron gate opens to a bluestone walk edged in granite. Clipped boxwood lines the path to broad bluestone steps, and fern-filled urns flank the arched portico and its classic fanlight entry, all beneath a canopy of grand shade trees.
Behind the house, the garden unfolds as a succession of inviting destinations. A white pergola draped in heritage wisteria shelters a deep porch with space to dine a dozen guests under hanging lanterns. The steps descend to a herringbone brick terrace framed by boxwood, hornbeams, Japanese maples, and a towering bamboo screen that encloses the garden in green. A bocce court and a whimsical fountain add playfulness. There is year round interest with the wisteria-covered pergola blooming in the spring, or the red maple trees beyond the bluestone terrace, a lovely spot to gather for cool autumn evenings. There is a handsome path from the back porch to the detached two-car garage, finished in the same buttery stucco as the house and dressed with arched trellis panels, so even the walk to the car feels like a stroll through the park. Garage is equipped with an EV charger, lots of room for bikes and storage.
Inside, the home carries the graceful proportions of its era. A wood-burning fireplace with a finely detailed Federal-style mantel anchors the living room, where crown moldings, a plaster ceiling medallion, and windows on three sides fill the room with light. The first floor features an office library at the front, a double size Living room and large hallway. The gracious family room features arched windows draw the garden into view, and connects with a large eat-in kitchen. Upstairs the principal bedroom has a small library alcove and large dressing room that connects with the ensuite bath. Three more Bedrooms and lovely marble bath are on the second floor. The third floor features a grand guest suite or activity room including a bedroom and recently renovated bath. The unfinished basement is very large with a fourth bath, ready for a value added renovation. In total the house features five bedrooms and four and a half baths with room to grow downstairs or out the back, providing generous space for living and entertaining. Truly a garden sanctuary in Chevy Chase Village
