4801 Chevy Chase Blvd

A fabulous location literally makes all the difference. This 1933 well-kept brick colonial with great curb appeal has stood the test of time for the current 50-year owners. Just over one mile to two Metros and the bustling retail centers of Bethesda and Friendship Heights, mere steps to the incomparable 17-acre Norwood Park, and a 10-minute walk to the Bethesda swimming pool, the Crescent Trail and Somerset Elementary. This rare opportunity in the quiet neighborhood of Chevy Chase West checks a lot of buyer boxes. A traditional layout offers four living levels, with arched doorways in the foyer, hardwood floors on three levels, excellent storage on the top and lower levels, and a sitting room/dressing area adjoining the primary bedroom. Coveted off-street parking as well as a one-car garage. A 1990s renovation added an airy front foyer and expanded the dining room & kitchen. The large side lot allows for further expansion, gardens, even a pond or pool. The current owners love sitting on the covered porch, waving to neighbors coming home, heading to the nearby ball fields, or relaxing on the bench in the nearby circular park, practically an extension of the front yard and maintained by an involved citizens' association. Buyers will delight in making this much-loved home their very own in the years to come. In the words of the sellers about one of their favorite aspects of living here: "Our cars sit unused for days at a time. Everything we need or want - from Metro & doctors' offices to Trader Joe's & Panera to CVS & the Bethesda Cinema - is an easy and healthy walk away."
