4117 Franklin St, Kensington, MD 20895

Nestled on a corner in the heart of Chevy Chase View, this timeless brick-and-stone residence echoes the architectural style and character of a bygone era. The Tudor influence is apparent from the curb and extends indoors where plaster walls, arched passageways, and glass door hardware offer a glimpse of the original craftsmanship. The main level is expansive and includes a living room with a vaulted two-story ceiling, a wide galley kitchen, a dining room with a butler’s pantry, an office space, a large family room and an inviting screened porch complete with a beadboard ceiling and stone floor. The family room and screened porch overlook the picturesque grounds, which are enhanced with beautiful plantings and seasonal blooms. There are two bedrooms on the main level and a full bath. Upstairs, the home features a beamed living space with a large balcony overlooking the backyard. The upper level also includes a full bath with a hallway dressing area with built-in drawers. The front portion of the upper level has unlimited options: it could be redesigned as additional bedroom space as it is or expanded with the addition of a new floor over the existing living room. The lower level offers great potential, with a bath already plumbed in, a laundry area and access to the home’s one-car garage. Located within the coveted Chevy Chase View community, this residence is just moments to downtown Kensington, Bethesda, and Rockville, and has easy access to the city. With some creativity, the “good bones” and ample grounds offer an opportunity to be reimagined, renovated, or expanded to match the lifestyle of any modern family looking for their forever home. Just bring your dreams…
