It is a very rare day when a home with good bones in the desirable Chevy Chase area comes on the market. A home that you where you can have it all your way.
This home is part of an estate. The listing price is well below market prices for the area as the administrator is aware that the home needs some updating and has some deferred maintenance items. This is an excellent opportunity to purchase well below market value and customize the updates to your tastes.
The home is quite livable in its current condition and you can build your perfect nest on your schedule.
The home is about 1/2 block from Cassidy Elementary and Morton Middle School.
The home experienced an extensive remodel in 1994 that added a new kitchen with wrap-around countertops and lots of natural light, family room and master suite with jetted tub and separate shower. Breakfast can be eaten at the counter or overlooking your back yard.
You enter the home from an almost full width covered front porch. The living room, dining room, kitchen, family room and half bath comprise the first floor. The living room and dining room have custom plantation shutters. The family room has 2" natural finish wood blinds.
The kitchen has a gas cook-top, a relatively new SS Fridge and Jenn air oven that needs some work or replacement. A small butler's pantry is off the dining room.
The upstairs is reached via an open staircase and features the master suite with master bath, two additional bedrooms, a full bath with walk-in shower, and lots of closet space.
There is a basement (about 696 square feet) that was a full basement before the addition which is on a crawl space. The washer, dryer, laundry sink and folding table are in the basement. There is also a workbench and some storage cabinets.
The living room features a wood burning fireplace with a Parker Mantle face. Those of you who know Chevy Chase knows what a Parker mantle is.
The home has old style brick patio and old box style garage suitable for storage.
The mostly private back yard is fenced and has a garden area with raised beds.
