New England Meets Chevy Chase Furnished short term rental for 6-8 months. Hands down—this one is truly special. Set on an extra-wide over 11,000 square foot lot, the property offers a rare combination of thoughtful design and inviting outdoor space,... from the fenced play area and lush lawn to the charming treehouse, stone patio, vegetable beds, and tranquil pond with waterfall. Completely rebuilt and custom designed in 2012, this architectural gem draws inspiration from the New England coastline and beautifully brings the outdoors in. An expansive covered front porch sets the tone, with two distinct seating areas including one with retractable screens, ceiling fans, and a porch swing—an ideal place to relax and unwind. The rear terrace and landscaped backyard create a seamless extension of the home, perfect for both quiet enjoyment and entertaining. For nature lovers, the proximity to Rock Creek Park—just a few blocks away—is the finishing touch. Inside, the craftsmanship is exceptional, with custom solid cherry wood throughout. The heart of the home is a true chef’s kitchen, featuring heated floors, a gas fireplace, dual ovens, a large walk-in pantry, and beautifully crafted cabinetry. An eating nook makes this space as functional as it is welcoming. The living room, centered around a glass-front wood stove, features direct views of the koi pond, waterfall, and gardens through a wall-sized floor-to-ceiling window. The living room further opens to a cozy main-level library with a built-in desk. A formal dining room and a well-placed powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, four bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility, all with marble bathrooms and generous, walk-in closets. The primary suite is a standout, with dual showers including a rain head, a double vanity, air tub, and a spacious walk-in closet. The lower level is designed for both relaxation and versatility, featuring a rec room with a third fireplace, a bonus room ideal for guests or a home office, full bath, and a finished laundry room with additional storage. Outdoors, the backyard is a true gardener’s paradise, with thoughtfully designed flower beds designed around a koi pond with waterfall, a dedicated vegetable garden, built-in gas grill, and a large shed tucked discreetly into the corner. Every detail has been considered, creating a home that feels both elevated and effortlessly livable. See why this home was scouted by HGTV Copy that Curb Appeal!" Read More
