About 3051 Legation St Nw
Quality. Condition. Location. First impression- solid brick construction and a slate roof. Distinctive fluted moldings surround the front door. Functioning exterior wood shutters refine the picture. Large windows on all four sides of the house bring in light all day. Cedar picket fencing defines the cottage gardens that surround the house. A patio surrounded by trees is perfect for outdoor entertaining. A gracious open foyer opens to a formal living room with a wood burning fireplace. Opposite is a formal dining room. Behind is an enclosed porch area with heating and cooling that could be a library, den or office. The expanded first level has a spectacular 2020 kitchen addition with a breakfast bar, a cathedral ceiling, skylight, and a wall of windows that overlook the rear garden and patio. There are three bedrooms and a full remodeled bath on the second level. All have generous closet space, and there is a cedar lined closet in the primary bedroom. The lower level is finished and has a full bath, a laundry and storage area and utilities. The gas boiler was installed in 2023. The water heater was installed in 2019. There is a detached garage with alley access. LETS TALK ABOUT THE LOCATION. This quiet area of Chevy Chase is close to shops and restaurants. Lafayette Elementary School is close by. Public transportation is steps away and there is easy access to drive routes to downtown DC.
