Rare opportunity in the highly sought-after Hawthorne neighborhood of Chevy Chase, DC, just one block from Rock Creek Park, Rock Creek Park Trail, Beach Drive and moments to Chevy Chase Circle. Set along a quiet, tree-lined residential street that captures the feel of suburban living in the heart of Northwest Washington, this estate sale is being offered for the first time since the home was originally built. The property features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths (tax records are incorrect; home contains two full baths on the upper level and a half bath in the lower level), an oversized detached one-car garage with exceptional storage capacity, and a generous lot offering a range of future possibilities. A long-ago sunroom addition adds character and additional flexible living space. This home has been owned by a single family throughout its entire history and is being sold strictly AS-IS. While currently livable and offering usable space, the property is significantly dated and shows considerable wear and tear, making it best suited for a full-scale renovation, major expansion, or complete redevelopment. It presents a rare opportunity for buyers, builders, or end-users to reimagine a home in one of DC’s most desirable and established neighborhoods. Notable updates include a 2025 water heater and select newer kitchen appliances, along with a fully fenced rear yard; however, the property’s value is overwhelmingly driven by its location, lot, and long-term potential. A truly special setting in a premier Northwest DC location—surrounded by Rock Creek Park trails, neighborhood parks, and the charm of Chevy Chase—offering a compelling opportunity to create something exceptional.
