    What's special

    Cozy hallway reading nookFull hall bathThree well-proportioned bedroomsMulti-use butcher block countertopsSpacious front yardLush rear yardFinished lower-level recreation room
    Perched directly across from the heights of historic Fort Reno Park, this stately late-1920s detached front porch home offers an elevated level of living on a quiet street in Chevy Chase, DC. A spacious front yard sets the property gracefully back from the road, while a welcoming front porch invites you to linger and take in the serene surroundings. Step inside to an architectural statement defined by soaring high ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and an elegant, curved Georgian-style handrail that underscores the home's historic craft. The deep main-level layout balances classic, clearly delineated living and dining spaces without compromising natural light. Through a handsome archway off the foyer lies a thoughtfully updated, bay-window island kitchen featuring multi-use butcher block countertops inspired by the dedication of the family craftsman, set against a new subway tile backsplash, ample white cabinetry, brand-new luxury plank flooring, and stainless steel appliances, including a brand-new range and microwave. A main-level powder room and a cozy hallway reading nook round out the entry floor. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms and a full hall bath anchor the second level. The front bedroom enjoys plenty of natural light, while a rare architectural feature awaits in the rear: one of the back bedrooms opens directly onto a surprisingly expansive covered upper-level balcony deck, creating a private outdoor retreat tailored for multi-season relaxation. Downstairs, the finished lower-level recreation room has been refreshed with brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring and includes a stacked washer and dryer, laundry sink with storage cabinetry, and direct walk-out stair access to the backyard. Outside, the lush rear yard is home to a charm-filled playhouse, a spark of joy and an ideal bonus space for creative play, gardening hobbies, or outdoor storage. Situated less than a mile from iconic DC institutions like Politics and Prose, exceptional neighborhood dining just blocks away at Matisse and Le Chat Noir, and a short ride to the trails of Rock Creek Park, this exceptional residence pairs classic architectural integrity with seamless access to downtown via Connecticut and Wisconsin Avenues.
