This 1928 five-bedroom three and one half -bathroom Chevy Chase wide-front porch colonial on a generous, level lot exudes timeless classic elegance and stuns with contemporary, custom upgrades! The welcoming foyer opens to a center hall, which spills into an inviting living room with a fireplace on one wing and an entertaining-sized dining room on the other. All the receiving rooms glow with over-sized windows and are connected by a marvelous circular flow. The living room leads to a palatial screened-in veranda and a sunny deck, which connects to an expansive patio and level, pool-sized backyard. The dining room opens to a chef-inspiring trophy kitchen with herringbone-pattern backsplash and an island for casual dining. Upstairs are four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an impressive primary bedroom suite with its sparkling, newer bathroom. The walk-out lower level, gifted with natural light, hosts a family room - which can be a media, gathering area, spacious gym, fifth bedroom - currently used as a dressing room, a third bathroom and a laundry/mud room. The enviable location is conveniently near Western Ave, Upper Connecticut Ave retail mecca, Friendship Heights shopping and Metro, Blessed Sacrament and Lafayette schools. SEE 3-D VIDEO TOUR!
