Fully updated and move-in ready, this classic Chevy Chase home has been thoughtfully upgraded inside and out. When you arrive, you are welcomed by the front porch and the lush professionally landscaped front yard. As you enter the home, you are greeted by an open living and kitchen area with hardwood floors, anchored by a brand new 5-burner gas range, new countertops, tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and island seating with room for everyone. A dining area sits nearby for easy entertaining. A bar or coffee station is an unexpected bonus. Tucked near the back entry, the stylish half bath features a new chrome vanity and designer wallpaper — a fun, functional space right where you need it. The first-floor primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath. Upstairs you'll find generously sized bedrooms with great natural light and an updated full bathroom complete with a custom vanity, soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower. The finished basement provides flexible bonus space perfect for a rec room, home gym, or play area, along with a finished laundry room and a clean, dedicated storage area. Out back, enjoy a private gated yard with a patio, deck, and 1-car garage — ideal for relaxing or hosting. Conveniently located near Romany Road, Chevy Chase Plaza, and more. This one truly has it all.
