Located on one of Chevy Chase's most established streets, this stone-façade fourplex offers spacious units, extensive capital improvements, and room for future value-add. Since 2020, nearly every major building system has been updated, including a new shingle roof (2020), flat roof (2025), updated electrical with five separately metered panels, individual central HVAC systems for all four units, PEX plumbing updates, and capped chimneys. Exterior improvements include rebuilt composite front balconies, new upper-level stairs, and a resurfaced parking lot with underground downspout drainage directed away from the foundation. The building consists of three spacious 1BR/1BA units of approximately 1,150 SF each and one 2BR/1BA unit of approximately 1,850 SF. Hardwood floors run throughout, and one of the 1BR units features a fully renovated kitchen and bathroom. The remaining three units offer an opportunity for interior updates, with all three 1BR floor plans providing space for a potential second bedroom. The unfinished lower level includes four private storage rooms and shared laundry facilities. All four units are leased, with lease expirations ranging from April through June 2027. The property offers 5,670 SF above grade, an additional 1,890 SF unfinished basement, and sits on a 0.22-acre R-3 zoned lot.
Location, location, location! This 4-plex has hardwoods throughout and each unit has a front and a rear entry. The building has a boiler heat system and currently the owner pays the heat bills. Units 1,2 and 3 have washer dryer available in the basement and apartment 4 washer and dryer in the unit. Storage for each unit is also available in the basement. Each kitchen is equipped with appliances. The detached carport has a space for each unit.

Planned Neighborhood Residential Zone
The intent of this zone is to provide for medium density mixed residential development, including multi-family dwellings, group residential housing, compact housing types, attached and detached single family dwellings, and supporting uses. This zone should be located in areas of the community where services and facilities are/will be adequate to serve the anticipated population. This zone should provide a variety of housing options rather than a single type. The medium density residential uses should be located along local and collector streets, with lower density residential uses located along local streets. Adequate multi-modal connections should be available to all residents, so to allow for long term viability and incremental growth. Low and Medium density residential land uses should be established in accordance with the Goals, Objectives, Policies, and Development Criteria of the Comprehensive Plan.
