This home is simply put ... INCREDIBLE. The home sits on a manicured massive lot (1/3 of an acre that takes an entire block on 32nd St with no neighbors on either side) in the coveted Hawthorne neighborhood of Chevy Chase. You are a two minute walk to Rock Creek Park and an easy walk to Lafayette Elementary and close to transportation arteries and shopping.
This home is oversized in every way. Enter the gracious foyer and enjoy an enormous living room with double banks of windows, a wood burning fireplace, a very large dining room, a recently refreshed kitchen (with gas / electric options), a breakfast room, a sunroom filled with plants and a special place to relax, and a wonderful office complete with built ins. A vintage powder room on the main floor is conveniently located near the living room. The hardwoods and the sunlight make this home feel very special. There are three bedrooms upstairs. The primary bedroom is enormous with an ensuite, the secondary bedroom is equally generous in size and is flooded in natural light and the third bedroom has lovely period finishes including grass cloth wallpaper. The primary bath has been improved and the hall bath is in wonderful period condition. There is ample opportunity to add a 600 square foot new primary suite over the garage should that be desired. The lower level offers high ceilings, natural light and a second fireplace as well as a full bath. This lower living room/den is large enough to accommodate 50 of your closest friends while you enjoy the gas fireplace. There is a LEGAL fourth bedroom with an egress window and large closet on the lower level. There are lovely built-ins as well.
Storage is abundant in the lower level with a massive utility room on the north side of the home and the laundry room is quite large with access to the rear garden.

The garden /backyard is beyond spectacular. In spring enjoy a plethora of bulbs , azaleas and flowering plants. The yard is large enough to accommodate both a tennis court and a swimming pool. You could easily host a large wedding there. There is a hot tub (as-is) that is enclosed in a small structure. It has never been used by the current owner and ready for the new owners.


This house is period correct but offers an amazing amount of space, warmth, and possibilities galore. The home is completely sundrenched and while very large, it offers many intimate spaces. It is difficult to overstate how warm, inviting and comfortable this Grande Dame is." Prepare to be impressed.

** Please note that the garage and the utility room are quite full of owner's possessions that will be moved out in short order
