    TWO PRIMARY SUITES and 16 x 16 GOURMET KITCHEN in desirable LAFAYETTE School District. This historical Chevy Chase Brick Colonial blends classic craftsmanship with modern designer renovations, this elegant 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath Colonial showcases timeless architecture, luxury finishes, and exceptional livability on one of Chevy Chase DC’s most picturesque, tree-lined streets. A flagstone walkway beneath a 65-year-old Japanese red maple leads to an arched entry and private tiered stone backyard oasis. Inside, original oak and heart pine floors, custom crown moldings, and brass-and-gold-leaf sconces frame a sun-filled living room with wood-burning fireplace and original artisan mantel. The formal dining room, finished in Benjamin Moore’s Brushed Aluminum with custom panel molding and iron-and-gold-leaf chandelier, connects through a butler’s pantry with wet bar, beverage refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and extra disposal. The 16×16 chef’s kitchen is a true showpiece—perfect for entertaining. Featuring Calacatta Imperial marble island, countertops, and backsplash, lime-washed exposed brick, and custom Pioneer cabinets built in Lancaster, PA with solid walnut reeded island fronts, banquette seating with built-in smart TV, and a vintage-style walnut china cabinet. Premium JennAir “Rise” appliances include a 48″ panel-front refrigerator/freezer, six-burner + griddle gas range with dual ovens, drawer microwave, and Zephyr recessed ceiling ventilation. Walls of counter-to-ceiling Pella windows and French doors flood the space with light and open to antique brick and flagstone patios, gardens, and a detached garage with private parking pad. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath with heated Calacatta marble floors, rain shower, freestanding soaking tub, dual marble vanities, Toto washlet, and walk-in closet. The second primary suite on the top floor features vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams, a window seat beneath new Pella windows, and a private full bath with black herringbone tile floors and six-foot soaking tub—ideal as a second master, guest suite, or family lounge. The lower level includes a bright family room, legal guest bedroom, custom barn-door laundry area, and abundant storage. Additional features: R-21 spray-foam insulation, two-zone gas HVAC, 80-gallon water heater, drainage improvements, and 50-year architectural roof. Prime location—just a short stroll to Lafayette Elementary, Broad Branch Market, Avalon Theatre, Chevy Chase Community Center, Rock Creek Park, and St. John’s College High School.
