Property Description
This distinguished estate, once home to acclaimed actor Chevy Chase, spans 9.10 picturesque acres, offering unparalleled privacy and room to explore. The grand 3,500-square-foot residence boasts five bedrooms and three bathrooms, seamlessly blending timeless elegance with modern conveniences. The home's stately façade, adorned with majestic columns and an inviting porch, exudes an air of sophistication.
Inside, original red oak moldings, hardwood floors, and soaring ceilings create a warm and refined ambiance. The formal living room, anchored by a classic brick fireplace, serves as the heart of the home—an ideal space for relaxation and entertaining. Oversized windows bathe the interiors in natural light, while French doors open onto a stone patio, where sweeping mountain and reservoir views take center stage.
The chef's kitchen is both charming and functional, featuring a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, a spacious island, and abundant cabinetry. It seamlessly flows into the formal dining room, where original pocket doors provide an elegant transition into the living area.
The grand staircase leads to a luminous primary suite, a private retreat and ensuite bath. A vintage clawfoot tub, perfectly positioned to capture the stunning views, serves as the focal point. The additional four bedrooms each retain their early 20th-century charm while offering modern comfort.
At the pinnacle of the home, the third-floor cupola boasts windows on all sides, offering an awe-inspiring perspective of the surrounding landscape.
The carriage house offers exceptional versatility, serving as an ideal guest retreat, rental opportunity, or creative space. Thoughtfully designed with a blend of historic charm and modern updates, this secondary residence enhances the estate's appeal.
