Truly spacious 4000SF+ 4BR/4BA split-level spread across five distinct levels with amazing outdoor spaces - all on an idyllic cul-de-sac just steps from the 1600 acres trails, streams, and serenity of Rock Creek Park. This home has been lovingly updated and cared for - quite frankly, we're a little sad to leave it behind! Bright, sunny, and open inside, and beautifully landscaped outside, with multiple favorite spots for working, relaxing, entertaining, and exercising. This home has been an amazing refuge during pandemic times and will serve well for whatever comes next for its lucky occupants. The main floor has great flow and features beautiful oaks floors, a classy working wood fireplace, as well as direct views into the yard and gardens through the massive picture window. The kitchen is quite large with plenty of storage and counter space, gas cooking, and a real stove vent. Three bedrooms and two full baths one floor up, including an ensuite bath, offer privacy and space for both family and guests. The huge primary bedroom is big enough to easily fit a king size bed (probably two!) AND space for a desk or reading area. The primary bedroom is very private with awesome light and direct views into Rock Creek Park, a Juliette balcony overlooking the yard, and a walk-in closet complete with three built-in dressers, shelves, shoe rack, and tons of hanger space. The laundry room off the oversized garage doubles as an ideal mudroom with a separate exterior entrance. The lowest level (not really a basement) is only half below grade and gets surprisingly good light. It's fully finished and includes another full bath. This space could easily be considered the 3rd ensuite bedroom (for 5 bedrooms total) and has served as a pandemic classroom, indoor soccer space, library, putting green, and home gym over the past few years. There is also a large storage closet and a full size freezer. The fenced backyard is a dream for both adults and kids alike! The turf lower yard includes a two-story playset complete with a tube slide, 12-foot swings, monkey bars, and a mini rock climbing wall for the little ones. The sloping yard provides great privacy while also giving you so much to look at stacked stone flower beds, lots of bushes and trees, and raised bed vegetable garden. If that wasn't already enough, the backyard also includes a spacious patio and multi-level deck perfect for entertaining and relaxing. The home has a 12.5kW solar array with net metering that produces nearly all the electricity the house uses. The average monthly electric bill is about $85.00. Whole-house humidifier and two-zone heat/AC and fans in every bedroom keep you comfortable year-round. *Hot tub not included.* Located in beautiful Chevy Chase DC, and tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, it's a street where we can truly say we know every neighbor by name there is something about being on a small closed-off street that breeds a true sense of community - something we lacked at other places we've lived in the city. Literally across from Rock Creek Park, which provides access to miles upon miles of hiking and running trails and is truly an underappreciated gem of a national park. There is access to multiple metro bus lines just a short walk away. It's only one mile to the Lafayette Elementary school and Lafayette-Pointer Park Rec center with awesome play structures and adjacent to the quaint Broad Branch Market and Chevy Chase farmers market on Saturdays. The "downtown" Chevy Chase scene on Connecticut has everything you need groceries, drug stores, restaurants, shopping, and a great library. Just a few minutes further and you're quickly in Tenleytown or downtown Bethesda. 20 min drive to the White House, 25 min to DCA Airport. This home will be directly managed by the owner (no unresponsive management companies) and we're looking for someone who will take great care of the property. Dogs are permitted on a case-by-case basis. Tenant is responsible for utilities. Landscaping is included in the rent. Subletting is not permitted.
