Nestled in the heart of Chevy Chase just off Tates Creek Road, this 4-bedroom, 6.5-bath home is a stunning study in classic elegance minutes from the University of Kentucky, Kroger Field, hospitals, dining, and entertainment. A masterful, complete renovation doubled the original square footage. Reclaimed wood floors sourced from a single Virginia barn run throughout. The eat-in kitchen showcases Imperial Danby countertops and Thermador appliances; an indoor-outdoor patio features a two-way fireplace. The main level adds a full and half bath plus laundry. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers two full baths and two walk-in closets, alongside two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath. The finished lower level includes a home gym, playroom, en-suite bedroom, and ample storage. Outside: a gated drive with porte cochère and a two-car detached garage with finished space above full bath and kitchenette included.
