Welcome to 3937 Military Road NW, a beautifully renovated home offering something increasingly rare in Northwest Washington: generous living space, a private outdoor setting, and the flexibility to help offset the cost of homeownership. Renovated in 2021, this spacious semi-detached residence offers seven bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and a powder room across four finished levels, providing remarkable flexibility for everyday living, working from home, hosting guests, multi-generational living, or creating a potential income-producing space. A welcoming front porch sets the tone for the home. Inside, the bright main level features comfortable living and dining spaces, an updated kitchen, wet bar, and powder room. At the rear, a deck overlooks the private garden and off-street parking—an inviting setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet escape in the city. Upstairs, the second level includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a comfortable primary suite. The top floor adds another private bedroom and full bath, creating an ideal guest suite, home office, or additional primary retreat. One of the home's most compelling features is its expansive lower level, which has a separate entrance, three bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. It can function seamlessly as aligned with the main residence for guests, an au pair, extended family, or work-from-home space. For buyers interested in reducing their monthly housing costs, it also offers the potential for rental income—creating an opportunity to enjoy a substantial Northwest DC home while potentially offsetting a meaningful portion of the mortgage payment. * Beyond the home itself, 3937 Military Road offers a highly convenient Northwest Washington location with easy access to neighborhood shopping and dining, parks and recreation, Friendship Heights, Chevy Chase, downtown Washington, and major commuter routes. Beautifully renovated, exceptionally flexible, and designed to adapt as your needs change, 3937 Military Road NW offers both the lifestyle of a spacious Northwest DC home and a compelling approach to making homeownership more affordable. Any potential rental use, configuration, income, licensing, or occupancy is subject to applicable District of Columbia laws, regulations, permitting, and licensing requirements. Buyers should independently verify permitted uses and potential rental income.

Chevy Chase-DC, located between Rock Creek Park and the Maryland line, is a residential and retail Washington neighborhood with leafy streets and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Connecticut Avenue NW corridor at Chevy Chase Circle, where sidewalk cafes, independent boutiques, and long-running eateries set a polished, unhurried pace. Avalon Theatre anchors local culture with marquee nights and a classic single-screen feel. Politics and Prose adds a literary pulse through author talks and a well-stocked floor of new releases. Broad front lawns, stone porches, and Tudor and Colonial Revival details shape the streetscape, while Rock Creek Park trails pull the landscape into daily routines.
