Chevy Chase Village 5918 Cedar Parkway Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815
Chevy Chase Village is one of the most historic, beautiful and prestigious of the Maryland suburbs, valued for its convenient location, its distinguished and exceptional homes - featuring a wide range of architectural styles, the broad and quiet tree lined streets and its proximity to the shops and restaurants along upper Wisconsin and Connecticut Avenues. The Village is a premier residential community with its own Village Hall, local government and police force. Commuters appreciate this quiet enclave for its remarkable 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 for the city are easy to reach from this location. One of the prettiest properties in The Village, this elegant and understated home sits far back from Cedar Parkway, just over the DC line, and among some of the most important residences in the Metropolitan area. The double corner lot, encompassing three quarters of an acre, is one of the largest and most private parcels in Chevy Chase Village, backing to the fourteenth green of the Chevy Chase Club golf course.
The home was built in 1976 in the Georgian style with unmatched craftsmanship and exquisite finishes. An extended circular drive through the wooded front grounds reveals this custom-built residence which seamlessly incorporates the highest quality materials into its five bedrooms, five full baths, two half baths, and grand public rooms with beautiful views of the rear gardens and the lush green of the golf course. Fine antique European fireplace mantels crafted of both stone and millwork, exquisite chandeliers, recessed casement windows and hand laid French Versailles parquet flooring are some of the bespoke details adorning the formal public rooms. There are also abundant family spaces with generous room sizes, high ceilings and beautiful views from all windows of the lavish landscaping. The house seamlessly incorporates everyday family living with grand entertaining. Solid Mahogany double entry doors reveal a central hexagonal receiving area featuring traditional French Versailles parquet hand laid hardwood flooring, pocket doors and hand painted wallpaper. The main level public rooms boast appx 10 7 ceilings and include a breathtaking formal living room with a European stone fireplace mantel, and a set of three nearly floor to ceiling recessed casement windows with cremone hardware, cove lighting, interior recessed shutters, and two sets of French hung doors leading to covered terraces. On either side, a formal dining room, and a wood paneled library with fireplace also open to the covered terraces providing for superlative flow from indoors to out. A mature wisteria trellis, the generous rear lawn and garden including specimen plantings, and the golf course beyond provide a verdant backdrop for intimate family and grand social occasions.
