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 and a former pool ready for restoration. A rare blend of timeless elegance, modern convenience, and serene surroundings—this Chevy Chase masterpiece is truly one-of-a-kind!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
