Welcome to 3707 Thornapple Street — a meticulously updated and expanded 6BR/4.5BA Dutch Colonial in the heart of Section 5 Chevy Chase. With nearly 3,000 finished square feet across four levels, this gracious home blends timeless architectural character with top-tier modern amenities.


A classic brick walkway leads to the wide, columned front porch complete with porch swing — the perfect setting for morning coffee or winding down at dusk. Inside, the formal living room exudes historic charm with a wood-burning fireplace featuring a marble surround and inlaid carved mantel, flanked by built-in bookshelves. Throughout the main level, gleaming hardwood floors, recessed lighting, crown moldings, and designer wall sconces elevate every room.


The heart of the home is a chef’s dream kitchen, equipped with a professional-grade 5-burner Viking gas cooktop, a dramatic Zephyr island-mounted range hood with integrated lighting and ventilation, and double convection wall ovens. Stainless steel four-door French-door refrigerator with FlexZone™ drawer, an integrated Viking wine and beverage refrigerator, and a stainless Kitchen Aid dishwasher with bar handle complete the premium appliance suite. Crisp white shaker-style cabinetry soars to 42”, providing abundant storage. A curved honed granite peninsula with bar seating for three offers the perfect transition into the open-concept family room.


Underfoot, tile flooring (believed to be natural stone) flows seamlessly from the kitchen into the family room, where a wall-mounted TV and premium KEF in-ceiling surround sound speakers create a theater-like audio experience for movie nights and game days. Tucked quietly off this space is a bright sunroom, playroom, or music room — ideal for a reading nook, kids’ zone, or home office.


Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat, featuring a vaulted ceiling, recessed lighting, a ceiling fan, and a full wall of transom windows that flood the space with light. French doors lead to a brand-new private balcony with treetop views and classic railings — a tranquil outdoor escape perfect for your morning coffee. The en-suite spa bath includes a BainUltra therapeutic jacuzzi tub, dual vessel sinks with sleek Grohe fixtures, open-shelf wood cabinetry, and elegant tile finishes. A walk-in closet system with modular wood shelving completes the space. Three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms complete the second level.


The third floor contains two bedrooms and a full bath. One of the bedrooms has been transformed into a beautifully appointed home office, ideal for remote work or creative pursuits. The space features a custom-built, solid wood (believed to be oak) desk and an expansive wall of integrated floating shelves—perfect for organizing books, displaying art, or housing collectibles. Dual skylights and a large dormer window bathe the room in natural light, while recessed lighting ensures functionality at all hours. Warm hardwood floors and custom drapery add a layer of refinement to this serene and highly functional workspace.


The finished lower level includes a second family room/rec room, a spacious laundry area, a workshop, and excellent storage. Outside, the backyard is beautifully landscaped with premium artificial turf, raised garden beds, and a composite deck for outdoor dining and entertaining.
A private, detached one-car garage is accessed via a shared driveway and offers secure parking and additional storage. This home includes six ceiling fans, three wall-mounted TVs that convey, and thoughtful built-ins throughout.


All this, just steps from the shops at Brookville Market, the weekend farmers market, La Ferme restaurant, Rock Creek Park, and the future Connecticut Avenue Purple Line. Located in the top-rated Chevy Chase Elementary and B-CC High School district.
