Custom Home in the Heart of Chevy Chase! Timeless features and designer details are the hallmarks of this five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom estate nestled on a quiet street in Chevy Chase. Custom built by Barry Zuckerman, this unique home leaves a lasting first impression with manicured landscaping and a paver walkway leading to the covered front porch. Step inside the foyer and take in the great energy and flow that continues throughout the home. The living room draws you in with backyard views visible from the foyer and a stone fireplace, one of two in the home. The adjacent three seasons room, featuring the second fireplace, instantly expands the entertaining space and overlooks the private backyard oasis. The gourmet kitchen is the heart of this home and features Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, quartz countertops, and white custom cabinetry designed with tons of storage including pull-out drawers and two garages perfect for hiding a blender, coffee maker, office supplies, or a home phone. A large center island with seating offers hidden outlets and plenty of serving and prep space. A custom tile backsplash and designer lighting add the finishing touch. Enjoy meals at the sunny breakfast nook or in the formal dining room that can easily accommodate a large table. French doors lead to the private home office complete with custom built-in bookshelves and a unique desk with lots of hidden storage and file cabinets. A powder room and updated mud room/laundry room with storage cubbies and a second refrigerator complete the main level. Four spacious bedrooms are on the upper level and feature large closets and tree-top views. The luxury primary suite is full of designer features including both a walk-in closet and custom wardrobe with built-in drawers and three separate sections for hanging clothes. A unique bookcase offers additional clothing storage and a media area. The private spa-like bath is a soothing space complete with a large soaking tub and a separate standing shower. The finished lower level blends seamlessly with the rest of the home and offers soaring ceilings, plush carpet, and a separate entrance. This flexible space, complete with a full bathroom, can easily be a second family room, media room or playroom and also features a private fifth bedroom perfect for an au pair, multi-generational living, or a home gym/Peloton room. A long asphalt driveway can park 3-4 cars and leads to the detailed, oversized 1-car garage.
