Classic Chevy Chase

Chevy Chase, DC is walking distance to the shops, restaurants and action on Connecticut AVE NW. Located within the Lafayette Elementary School District with ready access to Lafayette park, Chevy Chase is known for its tree lined and walk-able streets.

5409 31st ST NW, just off the beaten path, sits on a charming block of 31st ST NW lined with period homes and manicured lawns.

The red brick colonial has an inviting front porch, complete with a swing. A white picket fence encases the front yard, which is filled with mature perennials and seasonal annuals.

Inside, you will find a warm and inviting space that has been updated top to bottom by the current owners.  House wide interior improvements include:
New double paned windows (2002)
New Plantation Shutters on most windows (2002)
All new plumbing (2002)
Heavied up electrical (2002)
New Central A/C - Main Floor - Zone 1 (2002)
New Central A/C - Upper Floors - Zone 2 (2005)

Upon entering the front door, you will find a proper foyer and powder bath. Shoe cubbies and coat hooks keep clutter to a minimum. The large living room has a fully functional wood burning fire place, warm hardwood floors and built ins.The spacious formal dining room can comfortably seat 12 and has a polished chair rail lining the wall.

The kitchen was completely overhauled in 2002. Two refrigerators, two dishwashers and two ovens make entertaining a breeze. The eat-in kitchen has large storage closets, a hidden office, a wet bar area and french doors that lead to the top level of the huge deck located on the rear of the home.

On the 2nd floor you'll find three large bedrooms, two full bathrooms (master bath is en-suite), ample closet space and refinished hardwood floors. The fully finished, heated and cooled, 3rd level boasts a large 4th bedroom and more closet/storage space.

The lower level adds tremendous living space to this home. A small, private office is perfect for getting work done (or consider converting it to a wine cellar). The family room, with a fire place, has good ceiling height and recessed lighting. A full bathroom, extra closets, laundry room and a large workout area with double french doors to the second large deck complete the lower level.

The back yard is an oasis of its own with plenty of play space, lovely planter beds and easy access to the back alley.
