*** SQUARE FOOTAGE = 2,521 square feet (tax record is incorrect)*** Please verify, per seller ***NEW ADDITION - The owner has just added an enclosed sunroom dining room featuring French doors and Andersen sliding glass doors. *** Set on a lush, tree-filled lot of over 14,000 sq ft in the coveted North Chevy Chase community, this classic stone farmhouse has been masterfully renovated to blend timeless architecture with modern comfort. Backing directly to Rock Creek Park, the home offers a rare combination of privacy, history, and convenience, just steps to trails, schools, and shops. Inside, three expansive levels of light-filled living space are surrounded by green views on every side. Thoughtfully preserved and upgraded, the home features original heart-of-pine and hardwood flooring, exposed beams, oversized custom European windows, and stunning remodeled kitchens and baths with high-end finishes. The chef’s kitchen was fully updated last year, including white oak cabinets, quartz counters, handmade tile backsplash, professional 6-burner gas stove, exposed beams, and adjacent mudroom/hall closet. Full new lower level third bath added, along with an adorable powder room off the kitchen/dining area. The dining room has full-height glass and wood built-ins, and a large historic brick chimney with a Vermont Mansfield wood stove insert for cozy winter nights. The top level has a master bedroom and spacious second bedroom with sunny exposures on two sides and views of the sequoia trees, a remodeled master bath with European fixtures and custom shower, and newly installed laundry space for easy access. The middle level has an additional two light-filled bedrooms and remodeled bath, alongside a large living room with original built-in fireplace. There are plenty of extras both outdoors and in -- such as stone patios, gazebo with lights, wood picket fences, California Closets, Shade Store automatic blinds, new large washer/dryer, all new Lumens designer lighting throughout. New systems (double-zoned Daikin HVAC and Navien tankless water heater) also make it maintenance free for years to come. Existing hot-water radiators provide continuous radiant heat. Covered country porches in both front and back, and landscaped bucolic front, side and backyard are a gardener’s dream. Perennials abound – including peonies, irises, tulips, daffodils, and butterfly bushes – along with two Dawn Redwoods planted in the late 1940s. A bit of history -- the original owner was a florist, botanist and pioneer of the hybrid snapdragon, and the property and surrounding land was filled with greenhouses. The newly created detached guesthouse and/or office provides a separate private space with independent heating/cooling, electrical and WiFi systems. Consider hosting guests, having a home office, artist’s studio or entertainment space in this park-like setting. The vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, glass doors and windows on all four sides that flood the space with light and green, all making this versatile space an architectural gem and refuge. The property is steps from Rock Creek Park Trail, Woodend Sanctuary (Audubon) and Mansion, and walking distance to the North Chevy Chase Swim Club, North Chevy Chase Elementary School and the new Chevy Chase Lake retail development including new grocery, restaurants and shops. Inside the BCC high school district. Easy access to the almost completed purple-line Metro station on Connecticut Ave less than a mile away (expected to be finished by late 2026). For the buyer seeking a natural park-like retreat near urban amenities, authentic solid craftsmanship with abundant updates, this is a unique opportunity! A rare opportunity to own a historic yet fully updated home on parkland—ideal for buyers seeking authentic craftsmanship, lush outdoor spaces, and modern convenience in a walkable community.
