5500 39th St NW, Washington, DC 20015

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own one of the iconic homes of Chevy Chase DC! On a corner lot just one block off Connecticut Avenue with one of the neighborhood’s most appreciated gardens, this East- and South-facing house boasts more than 3600 square feet of well-lit living space, with six bedrooms and 3 ½ bedrooms, not including a surprisingly bright self-sufficient 1-bedroom 1-bath modern basement space with its own kitchen. The classic interior includes elegant architectural elements, including crown moldings and high ceilings that add sophistication. With a formal dining room includes built-in cabinetry, original hardwood floors throughout that provide durability and charm, and a wood fireplace set the stage for a timeless family home. Upon entering the home one immediately feels a sense of creativity, safety, and community. Not surprising, given its pivotal role as a gathering place in the 60’s and 70’s of local activists whose energy and optimism was catalyzed within the walls of this special home. Just as rare and appealing is the neighborhood with its small-town vibe, a location with everything within a few blocks, including the local post office, banks, the Avalon theater, Magruder’s, coffee shops, parks, and enough restaurants to dine at a different location each night of the week. Expected to go live during the second half of September, this house will not be in the market for long – make sure you don’t miss it!
