Located in the heart of Martin's Additions in Chevy Chase, this original 1924 bungalow offers not only an abundance of charm but also a versatile amount of space to accommodate the needs of a modern-day lifestyle. Overlooking the tree-lined street, a welcoming front porch is ideal for relaxing, reading, or gathering with friends. Step inside this inviting home to discover hardwood floors, original moldings, and three levels of comfort and utility totaling over 2,800 SQ FT. On the main level, you ll find an easy flow between the living room, accented by a wood-burning fireplace, and dining room with a large double window for extra light. The spacious, updated kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, a marble backsplash, and plenty of cabinet storage. Bright and cheerful, it features windows overlooking the garden, and glass sliding doors leading out to a Trex composite deck, perfect for grilling and al fresco dining. Also on the main level is a comfortable family room (or optional bedroom), a second sun-filled bedroom and a beautifully renovated full bath. The upper level offers three more bedrooms, with one complimented by a walk-in closet, and a second renovated full bath. Not to be missed is the delightful "first mate's cabin" with its knotty paneling, dormer ceiling and custom built-in bunk beds and desks. The fully finished lower level has a recreation room with a custom built-in entertainment center, a bonus room for a private office, full bath, separate laundry room and several storage closets. The owners have created a wonderful backyard space with a deck, separate patio, and a durable specialty grass lawn. There is also the extra convenience of having a private driveway and storage shed/workshop. All that this property has to offer is enhanced even more by the quaintness of the Martin's Additions neighborhood. One is just steps away from the cluster of Brookville Road shops, the highly rated La Ferme Restaurant and Bar, the Saturday farmer s market and Shepherd Street Park.
