1 Chevy Chase Village 27 west kirke street chevy chase, md offered at $3,750,000

2 C hevy Chase Village is one of the most historic, beautiful and prestigious of the Maryland suburbs, valued for its convenient location, its elegant homes and tree-lined streets, and its proximity to the shops and restaurants along upper Wisconsin and Connecticut Avenues. Commuters appreciate ready access to the Beltway, the Friendship Heights metro and the frequent public buses that run along both thoroughfares. Union Station, Reagan and Dulles airports and virtually all of the cultural and commercial landmarks of the city are easy to reach from this location. Graceful white columns and an ornate widow s walk along the roofline distinguish the stately façade of 27 West Kirke Street. Inside are large, luminous rooms with tall windows, high ceilings and beautiful architectural detailing. Built in 1919 by a prosperous local paint and varnish inventor, the home retains much of its original charm, but thoughtful renovations over the years have brought it up to the highest standards of taste, quality and craftsmanship. This is a unique home of many parts, with a wonderful rambling floor plan, large common areas, a gleaming, newly renovated kitchen, five bedrooms on the second floor and an additional room and bath on the top level.

3 A picturesque, two-story breezeway runs along the side of the home, uniting indoor and outdoor spaces and providing both interior light and exquisite views. In warm weather, life spills out onto multiple porches and balconies and into the lushly landscaped garden that surrounds the property. Enter 27 West Kirke through a gracious front hallway, with rich crown molding and wide openings on either side. To the right, a sweeping living room has large windows overlooking front and rear gardens, a wood burning fireplace and a wall of built-in shelving for books and display. Beyond, a spacious screened porch with two ceiling fans is a lovely place to catch summer breezes, and is naturally shielded by a tall hedge running along the side of the property. To the left of the foyer, double doors open to a banquet-sized dining room accented by lovely millwork; this room has a working fireplace, as well as a glass door to a covered side veranda. The adjacent butler s pantry, with an exquisite hand painted design of wisteria vines on the walls, facilitates entertaining; bartenders will appreciate the wine cooler and plentiful cabinets for storing glassware and supplies, as well as the two sinks. The kitchen is a cook s dream. Designed by Barnes Vanze Architects and renovated completely in 2015, its abundant white custom cabinets, marble counter surfaces and white tile backsplash give it a timeless beauty, made practical by the deep farm sink, Wolf stove and paneled KitchenAid refrigerator. There is ample room for casual dining. A vintage pull-up door leads to the basement, dry and spacious, which offers additional storage and a wine cellar. Beyond the kitchen is a high-ceilinged morning room with expansive arched windows and a three-windowed bay, and a handsome step-down family room with a built-in work area, bookshelves and four sets of French doors leading to the garden. The garage, at the rear of the house, is used by the current owners for storage and indoor garden preparation. It also has multiple sets of French doors.
