Nestled in leafy and friendly Chevy Chase DC, this timeless and classic brick colonial is idyllic with a white picket fence and a mature magnolia tree out front with a delightful swing.

With storybook charm and sited on an oversized, lush 8,000+ sf lot adjacent to Little Forest Park, this move-in ready classic has been updated but retains its original detailing. The stone walkway welcomes you inside and immediately you see the original details, hardwood floors, crown moldings and the ideal circular flow of the main level. The focal point of the formal living room is the wood-burning fireplace with a classic wood mantle -- the large window wall is flanked with built-in bookcases and a custom window seat that leads to a sunroom/office with exposed brick. The updated white kitchen with granite countertops, white cabinetry, a brand new stove, stainless steel appliances is adjacent the dining room and leads out to a large deck for dining al fresco and a curving stone patio that overlooks the private and expansive side yard with long-range views to woods and mature trees. A powder room for guests, coat closet and convenient mud room with cubbies, and a rare, attached 1-car garage round out the ample main floor.

Take the center hall staircase to the upper level foyer to the primary bedroom with an en suite full bath, two more bedrooms and a full hall bath with tub; the 3rd level has two more bedrooms currently used as an office and a family room ideal for movie night. The lower level delivers more living space with a windowed family room, another half bathroom, laundry, storage galore, and rear egress to the back patio.

Sited on a tree-lined street in welcoming Chevy Chase, DC, known for its friendly vibe and sense of community. Just one mile from the popular Saturday morning farmer's market at Lafayette Elementary School and the neighborhood gathering spot, the Broad Branch Market. In bounds for blue ribbon DC schools: Lafayette Elementary, Deal Middle, and Jackson-Reed High. Easy access to major commuter routes on Connecticut Ave., Military Rd., Rock Creek Parkway, and 16th Street and multiple bus routes. The shopping, sidewalk cafes, charming boutiques, public library, community center, and other conveniences on the Chevy Chase Connecticut Avenue corridor are close by as well as Friendship Heights with shopping, dining, Metro, medical offices, and more just down the road.
