Step into a private haven of stone, glass, and mahogany, where the garden flows from the sun-drenched interior. Built in 1952 as a custom home by renowned architect Charles Goodman, this home was featured in The Evening Sun, and retains its unique character and livability. Overlooking Chevy Chase???s Rock Creek Park, you are steps from the Meadowbrook Stables, Candy Land City playground, bike and hiking trails through the park, and bare minutes from the DC line. Your 1/3 acre is on a side street and features three flagstone patios and mature plantings. The entry foyer, surrounded by glass, with refinished hardwood floors and mahogany paneling, leads to a private hall. The entry level features vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting, and those lovely refinished floors. The three bedrooms and two full baths are on this level, giving each room a birds-eye view of its surroundings, particularly from the owner???s suite, whose expansive windows at tree-level frame Rock Creek Park fields. Both baths have new tile floors, and the owner???s bath features a glass-enclosed shower stall. Take the stairs in the glass-enclosed entry to the living areas on the main grounds level, taking in the sudden opening to a flagstone floor with brick fireplace wall on one side and the rest of the level encased in glass and patio views. The living room is the length of the house, nearly forty-two feet, and becomes the dining ell. There are two glass doors from the living room to the patio on one side, and the dining room and kitchen each have a similar door opening to the less formal patio on the other side. The galley kitchen has a window wall, ceramic floor, and ample counterspace. It is equipped with a dishwasher, disposer, electric stove, a pantry closet, and recessed lighting. The utility room houses the water heater and boiler. The original radiant heating system was replaced with forced air HVAC in recent years. The security system conveys as-is. Carport parking is at street level, tied architecturally to the entry by a beamed roof and glass panels. Storage cabinets enclose two sides of the carport. There is also a storage building in the rear yard, off to the side of the lot. Minutes from the DC line, this home is within a short walk of Rock Creek Park's famous Candy Cane City playground, multiple sports fields, and Meadowbrook Stables. The park features many bike/jogging paths, and is a popular route for biking downtown. Not far away are the Audubon Naturalist Society, Chevy Chase Library, Columbia Country Club, Brookeville Road shops and La Ferme Restaurant, downtown Bethesda, downtown Silver Spring, and Friendship Heights. This is an incredible location to call home. The original blueprints are available, as well as several subsequent designs for expansion. The opportunity is yours to make this property, location, and setting into your special oasis.
