Colonial

Conveniently located just off Connecticut Avenue on one of the most picturesque streets in highly desirable Chevy Chase proper, 3802 Underwood Street is a picture book colonial whose complete transformation has made the home a functional, contemporary and a timeless classic. From the outside, the freshly painted white brick exterior, contrasting dark trim and shutters, and double-pane energy-efficient windows set the tone for a spacious floor plan comprising modern premium finishes. A traditional center hall floor plan characterizes the main level. Baldwin hardware creates a sense of substantiality from touch points. Formal living and dining rooms flank the entry foyer, showcasing the white oak hardwood floors, running throughout. The living room is embassy-sized, offering an ideal centralized gathering place and featuring one of three gas fireplaces in the home. A full butler’s pantry connects the dining room to the home’s more informal areas. These areas revolve around the chef’s kitchen, whose large unbroken swaths of Italian imported Carrara marble complement white shaker cabinetry and a full suite of commercial-grade Thermador appliances. It is fully open to the family room, combining to form an ethereal space with unbroken sightlines, large windows, and outdoor access. The powder room is highlighted by a custom made vanity adorned by black Kenya marble, to complete the main level. On the second level, the primary suite evokes a calming, coastal vibe with shiplap walls, a private balcony, and an intricate Carrara marble-clad ensuite bath with walnut cabinetry, Restoration Hardware light fixtures, and a separate, oversized glass shower. Three additional bedrooms and two additional full bathrooms complete the second level. On the finished third level, multiple skylights bathe the floor in natural light, while abundant recreation space is ideal for a fitness studio or private place for remote work. The stylish walkout lower level’s centerpiece is a wine room with a built-in table topped with backlit textured stone. It complements a sleek, backlit bar in the recreation room whose surround sound makes it the place for entertaining. A full bedroom with a luxurious attached ensuite bath completes the lower level. Throughout the home, standout high-end features include six zones of radiant floor heating, a central vacuum, and a newly installed ADT security system. Out back, the rear lawn is a fully fenced, private, usable, flat grassy area descending down from the Trex deck. A detached one-car garage, in addition to a long driveway, provides ample parking. Convenient to parks, shops, restaurants, Northwest DC, and belonging to one of the nation’s very best school districts, 3802 Underwood Street is a prime example of effortless living for the most discerning buyer.
