PRICE IMPROVEMENT! CLASSIC, LIGHT-FILLED, 1938 COLONIAL BOASTS SPECTACULAR 2-STORY ADDITION! Welcome to 5483 30th Street, NW in sought-after Chevy Chase/DC! An estate property, this sunlit and inviting home has been much loved by one family for many years. As you approach the front door, a patio under a magnificent Japanese Maple tree welcomes you home and provides a shady relaxation spot. MAIN. The entrance foyer leads on the left to a bright, spacious living room with fireplace (#1 of 2), and on the right to a good-sized den/home office. Straight back from the entrance foyer are a coat closet, built-in desk nook, and full bath (#4 of 5). (Note: As there is already a main level bath, if a main level bedroom is desired, just add a privacy door and closet to the den/home office.) The "piece de resistance" is the open gourmet kitchen, dining area, and stunning family room! The fully renovated kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, tons of custom, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, practical task lighting and attractive cabinet lighting, ample prep space, a pantry closet, granite counters, and a breakfast bar. The table-space dining area and family room feature dramatic, soaring, 2-story windows (the electronic shades can be controlled from main or upper level) and skylight. A glass door from the family room leads to a deck overlooking the deep, level backyard. UPPER LEVEL 1. Upper Level 1 boasts a stunning, expansive primary suite with balcony, arched ceiling, skylight, dramatic tall windows (with electronic shades) rising from the family room below, a huge walk-in closet, plus a double closet, and for those who appreciate luxury, an enormous primary bath (full bath #1 of 5), with soaking tub and panoramic view of gardens and trees, a separate shower, vanity, separate "cabinet de toilette"/privacy water closet, and washer and dryer (#1 of 2). (Note: If a 4th bedroom is desired upstairs, the primary walk-in closet could be reconverted into a bedroom. Converting this space and the main level den/home office into bedrooms would make it a 5-bedroom home before even considering additional options in the generously-sized lower level.) UPPER LEVEL 2. Pull-down stairs lead to a spacious, floored storage attic. LOWER LEVEL. The Lower Level offers a recreation room with fireplace (#2 of 2), an updated full bath (#5 of 5) with shower and vanity, a bonus room with outside entrance (formerly a 2nd kitchen, with hookups still in place), a washer and dryer (#2 of 2), and a commodious multi-purpose room for play, media, office, or studio, also with outside entrance. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. As an estate, the property is being sold strictly "as is." Pre-inspections are welcome! Exquisite hardwood floors on Main Level and Upper Level 1. New luxury vinyl flooring throughout Lower Level, except in full bath #5, which has new tile. Crown molding. Deep, level lot (6,345 square feet/.15 acres), fenced backyard, plenty of gardening and play space. Rear alley. Easy commute to downtown via Rock Creek Park, 16th Street, or Connecticut Avenue. A stone's throw to the bus stop. Hike in Rock Creek Park, play at Lafayette playground or down the street in Little Forest Park. Lafayette Elementary and popular Broad Branch Market are just 1/2 mile away!
