A rare opportunity for a special home on a historic lane in Chevy Chase. The high ceilings and modern floor plan of this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom belies the rich history of this street, which began in the 1890s when a few acres of land was purchased by James H. Hawkins, a formerly enslaved man who founded a community for recently emancipated families. James' son, Samuel, would go on to build the road now known as Hawkins Lane, arrange for electricity service, and construct several of the original homes on the street, which served as a close-knit, self-reliant enclave for homeowners here for decades. This home is nestled near the end of Hawkins Lane, on the eastern side of the street, where it backs to the trees of North Chevy Chase Park and features a fully-finished walkout basement and level backyard. Relax at the end of night on your front covered porch or head inside to enjoy the open concept living combining both the living and dining room as well as the kitchen and family room. The modern designed kitchen makes family cooking as simple as it can be with stainless steel appliances, including a double oven and an electric cooktop built-in to the eat-in island. Entertaining guests inside and outside will be even easier with french doors in the family room leading to the large deck overlooking the tree-filled yard. The second floor features two well-sized bedrooms plus a truly stunning primary bedroom. Fall in love with your private primary bedroom with a high vaulted ceiling, a beautifully fully tiled shower, and double vanity in your en-suite bathroom. The finished walkout basement has a lengthy bedroom and recreation room with recessed lighting and newer carpet. An updated bathroom with a tiled shower and new vanity completes this level.
