About This Home

5201 38th St Nw

Newly Transformed — A Legendary Chevy Chase DC Estate Returns to the Market! Designed by celebrated Washington architect A.H. Sonnemann — the visionary behind Meridian Mansions on 16th Street — and built by George S. Rees in 1918, this magnificent 4-level, 4,505 sq. ft. Mediterranean Revival residence is one of Chevy Chase DC's most storied homes. After 35 years in the same family and a new chapter of inspired stewardship, this corner-lot masterpiece has been thoroughly and thoughtfully reimagined for today's most discerning buyer. Step through the gracious gabled portico into a sunlit foyer where the home's historic character immediately announces itself. The main level has been beautifully updated: refreshed hardwood flooring flows throughout, recessed lighting creates a warm and luminous atmosphere, and the renovated kitchen — strikes the perfect balance between culinary functionality and timeless elegance. Beyond the kitchen, a charming sunroom with its beautifully restored original windows catches the morning light and opens seamlessly to the outdoors. A rare covered dining terrace extends the living space further, perfectly suited for alfresco meals and evening entertaining. No detail of comfort has been overlooked. A brand-new, whole-home HVAC system — replacing the original radiator heating — ensures year-round climate control with modern efficiency, quietly running behind walls that still speak the language of early 20th-century craftsmanship. The upstairs bathrooms have been fully updated, each finished with refined fixtures that complement the home's elevated aesthetic. The lower level was taken down to the studs and reimagined for contemporary living. What was once a garage is now a fully finished retreat featuring a spacious family room, full bath, wet bar and two additional bedrooms, that can be utilized as a gym or however you see fit. French doors open directly to a professionally designed hard scaped terrace — one of three distinct outdoor spaces — ideal for entertaining, play, or quiet evenings by the fire. Upstairs, the second level offers three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, with a light-filled sitting rooms adjoining the primary suite - perfect for a home office or additional closet space. The third floor, renovated in 2002, provides two additional bedrooms and a full bath — perfect for guests, offices, or creative studios. Nearly every window was replaced with Pella windows in 2004 for efficiency and light, while the sunroom retains its original glass, honoring the home's historic soul. With seven true bedrooms, 4.5 baths, four finished levels, and multiple outdoor living spaces — including a dining terrace, side-yard entertaining patio, and a sun-filled Harrison Street entry garden — this is a rare opportunity to own an architect-designed landmark where historic elegance and modern livability are finally, perfectly aligned. Welcome Home!
