Available for the first time in 54 years! Lovingly owned, occupied, and meticulously maintained by one family for more than half a century, this classic Cape Cod in Chevy Chase is ready for its next chapter. It's the kind of home that tells a story, and now your chapter begins. Hardwood floors. Graceful archways. Original doors, knobs, and trim. These are details that simply can't be replicated. The living room centers around a brick mantle fireplace and features a full wall of built-in bookshelves, equal parts architectural charm and everyday functionality. It's a natural gathering space for holidays, snow days, and quiet Sunday mornings. A separate dining room offers room to host without compromise, while the bright main-level sunroom flexes beautifully as a home office, reading nook, or playroom. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, marble backsplash, and a charming bay window that serves as the perfect perch for herbs, houseplants, or your morning coffee ritual. Just off the main level, the mudroom connects directly to the deck, which offers space for grilling and dining al fresco. The back stairs flow seamlessly to the backyard and off-street parking. Upstairs you'll find three well-proportioned bedrooms, a full bath, and a convenient half bath connected to the primary bedroom. An unfinished attic provides sprawling seasonal storage. The fully finished lower level adds even more space and flexibility, complete with a full bath and brand-new carpet, making it ideal for a recreation room, gym, guest suite, or additional office. Rough storage is available at the front and rear of the basement, with laundry and a utility sink perfectly positioned in the back half of the house, with a walkout to the rear yard. And the location? Exactly why Chevy Chase remains so coveted. Moments to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and neighborhood institutions like Politics & Prose and Buck's Fishing & Camping. Easy access to Ft. Reno Park, Linnean Park, and Rock Creek Park. Friendship Heights Metro is nearby for effortless commuting. And situated within the highly sought-after Murch - Deal - Jackson-Reed school pyramid. Classic architecture. Thoughtful updates. Off-street parking. A legacy of care spanning 54 years. Opportunities like this don't come around often. Sometimes, they come around once in a lifetime.
