5600 GROVE STREET, CHEVY CHASE, MD 20815 | $2,300,000
Elegant Federal home in coveted Chevy Chase Village offers the best of two worlds: a quiet, suburban retreat with vibrant urban amenities (Friendship Heights Metro, multiple parks, shops, and restaurants) just steps away. With more than 4,400 square feet of finished space and nestled on a corner lot-and-a-half, this 4 Bed/3.5 bath home is what dreams are made of.
Filled with natural light, with generously sized rooms on the first floor feature nine-foot ceilings and thoughtful detailing provide congenial flow for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. A gracious entryway leads to a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace flanked by double doors. A stunning Ankie Barnes expansion features a cook-friendly kitchen with a sizeable island, pantry, an adjoining family room – so the cook doesn’t miss any of the action! – with stately built-ins, plus another fireplace; a sunny breakfast room with a vaulted ceiling and three walls of windows; and a secluded study with more custom built-ins and even more windows. The formal dining room seats 12. The deck, perfect for grilling and relaxing, overlooks the large and private lot dotted with mature plantings and majestic elms, crepe myrtle and cypress trees.
Front and back staircases lead to a large second floor landing as well as a comfortable owner’s suite with a separate sitting/dressing area, ample closet space, and an ensuite bath. Two large additional bedrooms, each with its own bath and one boasting a balcony finish the second floor. The third floor is a special bonus. It features a fourth bedroom and an expansive rec/playroom, along with ample storage.
The 12,500 sq. ft. corner lot is half again larger than many in Chevy Chase Village, and comes landscaped with more than two dozen trees, many flowering. Every window in this home offers a postcard view of the urban forest. The outdoor space is perfect for hide-and-go seek, leisurely Sunday brunches, star-lit evenings with friends and family, or a potential swimming pool. The 1.5 car detached garage also features extra storage space.
