Open Sunday: The Prettiest House in Chevy Chase, MD

By
Real Estate Agent with RLAH@Properties AB95346

Open House

6800 Connecticut Avenue 

Chevy Chase, Maryland

Sunday, September 20th  1-4 pm

When you invite your friends to your housewarming party at this historic landmark, you will not have to do any bragging.  The house does it for you.

It was built in the 1920's by a Teddy Roosevelt appointee who made history by throwing a bunch of suffragettes into jail.  But the guy did build himself a beautiful home.  The current owners did an impressive renovation, bringing this home into the 21st century.

There are four finished levels, and the layout allows many possibilities for formal and informal entertaining.

There are museum quality finishes throughout showing great attention to details.  Your caterer will love doing food prep and serving in the kitchen, with high end appliances and a design that will delight the most serious cook.  Your guests can enjoy an evening breeze from the wide veranda overlooking Meadow Lane.  And when the party's over, you can retreat to the master suite for a relaxing soak in the oversized tub.  

The home sits on a large, beautifully landscaped lot and there is garage parking for three cars.

It is offered for sale for $2,695,000.

You may view this home between 1 and 4 Sunday afternoon, or you may call me for a private showing at 202-549-5167 or email me at housepat@mac.com.

Looks like a great home.

I wish opens worked in my area.

My new agent did 2 opens and had NO ONE show.    Typical

William, when I was with my first company, they really did a great job of teaching us to do great open houses.  

And David,  this one really is pretty.  Sort of a "statement house".

I love the architecture and charm of this home.  It's perfectly staged.  There is not one thing I'd change. The  kitchen and baths are light, functional and lovely. The back porch is a feature that many request. The home is a good example of using off white paint colors on the walls. You made my evening with this post and photos!

love the tee-pee.  And I'd been thinking of grey for my living room and I think your open house listing has convinced me to move forward with that.

That home is a beauty alright, Patricia!  I like the idea of an oversized tub.  Since we have been socked in with drought here in California, I have become the master of the 3 minute shower.  I miss my baths.  Just last evening, I was pictured soaking in one, with lots of candles in the room, and a nice class of Merlot.  Guess that's for another year!

I have to say, I think the prettiest home in DC is 3803 Jocelyn Street, NW.

But you already knew that...
