NEW PRICE! Classic detailing with bespoke elegance on a rare, lush 19,000+ SF lot... sited majestically on well-known Leland Street in the bucolic and leafy neighborhood of Chevy Chase, this iconic beauty is an entertainer's dream home. Mere steps to Candy Cane Park, Meadowbrook Stables, walking paths, and the community favorite Norman's Farm Stand. The home's handsome crown moldings, 9.5' ceilings, custom niches and arched moldings, hardwood floors, and stunning period details harken to a bygone era of sophistication. Once through the welcoming and genteel front porch oozing with southern charm, the oversized foyer greets you. The first floor has an ideal layout for large-scale entertaining with a gracious and grand living room with wood-burning fireplace that leads to an all-season sun/family with custom built-ins and windows on all sides for summer breezes -- and easy access to the back deck for al fresco dining. The large formal dining room with seating for 10 has custom, designer floor to ceiling window treatments. The white and bright cheery kitchen has a charming eat-in banquette with a professional grade range. Designer touches abound in the main floor office looking onto the rear yard and a delightful wallpapered powder room with custom marble sink. The upper level has two large bedrooms, a fully renovated hall bath in marble and a stunning oversized primary bedroom with sitting area and a magazine-worthy en suite full bath in marble and high-end polished nickel fixtures and a custom walk-in closet. The 3rd floor is an airy and open space currently used as a play room -- but is primed to be a 5th bedroom with ample space to install a full bath if desired. The lower level is not to be missed: 8' ceilings; newly installed luxury vinyl wood tile throughout the massive family room with a built-in kitchenette with granite counters, a wine fridge and ice maker; fourth bedroom for guests, in laws or an au pair, with an en suite full bath; large and bright laundry room with pantry/storage; and closets galore. The 2-car garage is large enough to accommodate an SUV or charge an EV indoors.

From the front porch it is mere paces to the delightful Candy Cane Park with a playground, tennis and basketball courts, soccer fields, and walking trails as well as Meadowbrook Stables for riding lessons and the community favorite, Norman's Farm Stand and in bounds for the CCRA pool. The boutiques, shopping, sidewalk dining, and conveniences of Friendship Hts., Chevy Chase and Bethesda are nearby. Served by award-winning schools: Rosemary Hills, Chevy Chase Elem., Silver Creek and B-CC high school.
