TWO PRIMARY SUITES and 16 x 16 GOURMET KITCHEN in desirable LAFAYETTE School District. This historical Chevy Chase Brick Colonial blends classic craftsmanship with modern designer renovations, this elegant 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath Colonial showcases timeless architecture, luxury finishes, and exceptional livability on one of Chevy Chase DC’s most picturesque, tree-lined streets. A flagstone walkway beneath a 65-year-old Japanese red maple leads to an arched entry and private tiered stone backyard oasis. Inside, original oak and heart pine floors, custom crown moldings, and brass-and-gold-leaf sconces frame a sun-filled living room with wood-burning fireplace and original artisan mantel. The formal dining room, finished in Benjamin Moore’s Brushed Aluminum with custom panel molding and iron-and-gold-leaf chandelier, connects through a butler’s pantry with wet bar, beverage refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and extra disposal. The 16×16 chef’s kitchen is a true showpiece—perfect for entertaining. Featuring Calacatta Imperial marble island, countertops, and backsplash, lime-washed exposed brick, and custom Pioneer cabinets built in Lancaster, PA with solid walnut reeded island fronts, banquette seating with built-in smart TV, and a vintage-style walnut china cabinet. Premium JennAir “Rise” appliances include a 48″ panel-front refrigerator/freezer, six-burner + griddle gas range with dual ovens, drawer microwave, and Zephyr recessed ceiling ventilation. Walls of counter-to-ceiling Pella windows and French doors flood the space with light and open to antique brick and flagstone patios, gardens, and a detached garage with private parking pad. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath with heated Calacatta marble floors, rain shower, freestanding soaking tub, dual marble vanities, Toto washlet, and walk-in closet. The second primary suite on the top floor features vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams, a window seat beneath new Pella windows, and a private full bath with black herringbone tile floors and six-foot soaking tub—ideal as a second master, guest suite, or family lounge. The lower level includes a bright family room, legal guest bedroom, custom barn-door laundry area, and abundant storage. Additional features: R-21 spray-foam insulation, two-zone gas HVAC, 80-gallon water heater, drainage improvements, and 50-year architectural roof. Prime location—just a short stroll to Lafayette Elementary, Broad Branch Market, Avalon Theatre, Chevy Chase Community Center, Rock Creek Park, and St. John’s College High School. Easy access to Friendship Heights Metro, Military Road, and Connecticut Avenue. 2921 Legation Street NW—where historic elegance meets modern luxury.
