Set back from a tree-lined street in desirable Chevy Chase DC, this end townhouse was built in 1924, and meticulously renovated by renowned Design Build firm Gilday in 2020. Abundant natural light pours into three sides of this Wardman style residence, illuminating four levels of flexible space. A beautiful newel post and railing highlight the foyer which offers views into the living room with a manteled wood burning fireplace, original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and architectural mouldings reminiscent of the early 20th century. The living room opens to a dining area, sun room, and gourmet kitchen - perfect for the 21st century. A pantry, cookbook shelves, and powder room complete this level, and provide easy access to the wood deck inviting opportunities for al fresco dining. The upper level offers a primary bedroom with ensuite bath with heated floor and shower bench. Three additional bedrooms grace this floor: currently used as exercise room with 2 closets, a study with wrap around windows and built-in bookshelves, and a small bedroom. A hall bathroom and full size washer & dryer are conveniently located on this floor.

The lower level has ample space for a recreation room, storage, mechanicals, a half bath, second laundry with double deep sink, and retractable hanging rack. This space offers access to a screened in porch, the rear garden and the garage.
