Welcome to this beautifully expanded colonial renovated in 2008. You will appreciate the attention paid to the details as the present owners and local architect Peter Donovan seamlessly blended the old house with the new using top of the line materials and products throughout. The open light-filled kitchen/dining area and family room has gorgeous built-ins and millwork throughout--hiding the audio/visual equipment and lots of games and toys. The deep and wide window seat has large closets on both sides that provide for additional storage. The built-in home office area was designed so that everything but the computer monitor is hidden helping to achieve the clutterless look the owners desired. The two sets of French doors with transom windows open to a large custom deck that overlooks a magnificent deep professionally landscaped yard that includes mature trees and azaleas that are over 50 years old. Just a few steps down from the deck is a beautiful partially covered stone patio with a retaining wall that is the perfect height to seat more guests when entertaining and there covered storage for bikes and gardening equipment, etc

The lovely living room has a beautiful mantel and wood burning fireplace, plus two large built-in bookshelves. In between this room and the family room is a new powder room with bead board and pedestal sink, plus a convenient wet bar. The dining room still has the charming original corner cabinet and antique crystal light fixture perfect for intimate dinner parties and both rooms have plantation shutters.

The three bedrooms on the second floor are all nice size and the master bathroom has been tastefully updated. A beautiful staircase takes you to an amazing getaway on the third floor that includes a large bedroom, hallway with additional closet space, extra storage and a beautiful new bathroom.

In the lower level you will find a recreation room, large new laundry area, great craft area for kids, with plenty of storage for projects—complete with cabinets, refrigerator, sink and tile floor all of which could easily be made in to a kitchen area for an au-pair or in-law. The fifth bedroom is huge and has full size windows just off a private hall entrance near the stone patio.

This beautiful property is located in the quiet neighborhood of Barnaby Woods/Chevy Chase where you will find more deep lots and mature trees and it is not far from public parks such as Rock Creek, Lafayette and Candy Cane City. It is close to public transportation, I270 and 495 and near popular shopping areas, public, parochial and private schools and within the boundaries of the lovely Rock Creek community pool with swim and tennis teams.
