A PRIVATE HILLTOP RETREAT IN CHEVY CHASE :Classic Elegance Meets Modern Luxury on an Acre! Perched atop one of Chevy Chase’s most exclusive enclaves, this exceptional custom-built estate spans over 6, 000 sq ft of refined living space on a rare and private one-acre lot. Designed by acclaimed architect Alfred H. Liu, the residence masterfully blends timeless architectural elegance with the harmonious principles of Feng Shui, creating an extraordinary living experience. With 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, 3 fireplaces, a detached 3-car garage, a private driveway with parking for 9+ cars, this home is as functional as it is grand. Recent updates ensure peace of mind and modern comfort: a new ROOF (April 2025), new outdoor HVAC compressor unit (2023) with a 10-year warranty, garage roof (2019), refinished wood floors on two levels, new chandeliers/light fixtures, new foyer tiles, new basement carpet, updated laundry room with new washer/dryer, and renovated hall bath. Grand double doors open to a dramatic FOYER with intricate moldings, dual coat closets, and a sweeping staircase. From the moment you enter, the home evokes the timeless allure of a classic European chateau. The formal LIVING ROOM boasts a wood-burning fireplace with marble surround, tray ceiling, double chandeliers, dark hardwood floors, and Palladian windows. Through French doors, a stately LIBRARY/HOME OFFICE awaits, featuring custom built-ins and tranquil garden views. The banquet-sized DINING ROOM is ideal for formal gatherings, with imported Palladian-style doors from Germany, a gas fireplace, and seamless access to the backyard. Anchoring the heart of the home, the gourmet KITCHEN is centered around a large island beneath an elegant dome ceiling, adorned with a copper iron-wrought chandelier—a showpiece inspired by Old World European craftsmanship. A rustic two-sided open brick fireplace adds warmth and architectural interest, connecting the KITCHEN and DINING ROOM. A chef’s dream, the KITCHEN is appointed with designer granite countertops and backsplash, a Viking range and hood, two dishwashers, wine fridge, two wall ovens, and a gas cooktop with 4 burners, grill, teppanyaki, and two additional ovens. A built-in desk NOOK and light-filled BREAKFAST AREA with charming garden views complete the space. Just beyond, relax over a cup of morning coffee or host guests in the light-filled SUNROOM surrounded by walls of windows and lush green views. Adjacent is the updated LAUNDRY ROOM, a full bath, a secondary entry, and a back staircase. Off the main foyer, the expansive FAMILY ROOM features another wood-burning fireplace and luxurious design details. Upstairs, the expansive PRIMARY SUITE is a true sanctuary including two large rooms—one with built-in bookcases and tranquil views, the other perfect as a sitting room, gym, or 2nd office. Pamper yourself in the spa-like BATH featuring a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and double vanities. Hardwood floors, Andersen windows in select rooms, and generous closet space continue throughout. 4 additional BEDROOMS sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath and a hall bath round out the upper level. The finished lower level offers 2 REC ROOMS with new carpet, a full bath, a bonus room, and ample storage, plus a large unfinished space —ideal for a future gym, media room, or guest suite. Step outside to your own PRIVATE OASIS. The beautifully landscaped yard is a picturesque escape with curated plantings, mature trees, and thoughtfully designed garden beds that change with the seasons. A flagstone patio tucked among the greenery offers a storybook setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or quiet relaxation. Other upgrades incl an irrigation system, French drain (2023), generator, garden shed, dual electrical panels, central vacuum, high-efficiency HVAC . A rare blend of timeless elegance, modern convenience, and serene surroundings—this Chevy Chase masterpiece is truly one-of-a-kind!Show Description
