Available for the first time in 55 years, this classic, center hall colonial is located on one of Chevy Chase, DC's loveliest blocks. The welcoming exterior beckons you into a move-in ready home full of possibilities. Renovated and expanded in the late 1980s, this well maintained home has been recently refreshed with new paint, updated exterior finishes including new gutters and landscaping, and a brand new HVAC system. The front to back living room is anchored by a wood burning fireplace and leads to a main level sunroom with a built-in banquette. The formal dining room is dinner party ready and flows into the updated kitchen with gas cooktop, Sub-Zero refrigerator, center island, updated countertops and multiple pantry closets. Step down into the versatile breakfast room which could easily double as den with floor to ceiling built-ins, which opens out to the expansive rear deck and pergola, ideal for outdoor entertaining. A main level half bathroom and detached garage, now used as a storage shed, complete the main level. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a large primary bedroom with walk through closet leading to a separate laundry room that could easily be converted to an en-suite primary bathroom. Three additional bedrooms, all with excellent storage, two full hall bathrooms and a pull down stair leading to a large floored attic, perfect for storage, finish off the upper level. The basement is full of possibilities, with a built-in work bench, a half bathroom and an exit to the rear yard and is ready to be converted to the ultimate lower level family room, guest space, home office or more. While lovingly maintained by its long-term sellers, 3809 Kanawha is ideal for today's day-to-day living yet full of possibilities for tomorrow and beyond. Welcome home!
