New Price! Opportunity knocks in sought-after Section 3 Chevy Chase, steps to CCUMC Preschool, the weekly organic farmer’s market, and located in the highly-regarded, BCC High School cluster. Move-in ready home with a swimming pool-sized backyard! Set back from the street, a large oversized driveway and attached garage welcome you with easy turnaround space for 3-4 cars. Built in 1931, this 2800+ square foot, 3-4 bedroom stately, centerhall brick colonial has been thoughtfully updated for today’s modern living. This elegant residence features a slate roof, custom built-ins, recessed lighting, oak hardwood floors throughout, new AC (2022), and all new Pella wood windows (2021). The spacious living room has a fireplace and leads to a cheery sunroom, that makes a wonderful main-level home office, and opens to the private, sun-dappled backyard. The updated kitchen features white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking and granite countertops. Sunlight streams through the pretty kitchen window that overlooks the flat, park-like backyard. A full-sized dining room is ideal for large gatherings and intimate dinner parties with friends and neighbors. A convenient powder room completes the main level. Hardwood floors continue on the bright upper level where there are three generous-sized bedrooms and two updated full bathrooms, including the sumptuous primary suite with a beautiful, marble spa bathroom and multiple closets. The walk-up, finished attic bedroom spans the entire width of the home and would make an enviable teenage retreat. The finished lower level of the home features a family room, 2nd fireplace, full bathroom, and an incredible storage room. Fully fenced, the pristine backyard is a true owner’s sanctuary, and ideal for gathering around the fire pit! It boasts lush green grass, and a variety of mature, low-maintenance perennials for yearround enjoyment. The kitchen door leads to a small covered porch and a brick patio that circles back around the house to the deck off of the sunroom, and opens to the grassy backyard. The church to the right of the house makes for a wonderful neighbor (no ringing bells!), providing incredible privacy, and a truly unique and picturesque setting. Walkable to downtown Bethesda and Chey Chase, DC, as well as the award-winning Chevy Chase Elementary School (CCES), part of the International Baccalaureate public school cluster, and steps to the organic farmer’s market, the Shops at Brookville, the popular restaurant La Ferme, the Section 3 dog park, and playground, this home is not to be missed! Section 3 is known for its strong community and assortment of fun neighborhood activities, including: holiday parties, wine tastings, food truck nights, family festivals, and movie nights. Walkability, quiet setting, and eligibility for membership in the popular Chevy Chase Recreation Association Swim & Tennis Club (CCRA), make this home a smart choice for today’s homebuyer.
