Nestled in the heart of Chevy Chase Section 5, this 1923 bungalow blends timeless architectural character with thoughtfully integrated modern updates. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, plus a convenient quarter bath in the lower level. A 2014 kitchen renovation with a striking red Viking gas stove, and a beautifully refreshed upper-level bathroom in 2019 provide contemporary comfort, while original hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and classic built-ins preserve the home's historic charm and craftsmanship.
Set on a 5,313 square foot lot, the inviting front porch and expansive rear deck--both rebuilt in 2018--offer ideal spaces for outdoor enjoyment, with the fully fenced backyard and lush garden adding privacy and serenity. Inside, generous storage is available throughout, including a charming pantry/mudroom area off of the kitchen, a complete unfinished lower level, and an attic space with semi-finished walls and painted wood flooring.
This home is truly move-in ready, yet offers outstanding potential for the renovation enthusiast. With existing architectural plans and exterior footings already in place, and prior approval for a 2-3 story addition, there is a unique opportunity to expand the home to include a luxurious primary suite and two additional en-suite bedrooms.
Just blocks away, the Brookville Road commercial corridor offers a small-town village feel with the convenience of a neighborhood market, deli, pharmacy, the acclaimed La Ferme restaurant, and a beloved weekend farmers market.
Topped off with a brand-new roof installed in April 2025, this home offers comfort, character, and room to grow in one of Chevy Chase's most sought-after neighborhoods.
