Nestled in sought-after Chain Bridge Forest—where 10 acres of HOA-protected woodlands provide a serene backdrop—this classic 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath, 4,159-square-foot colonial seamlessly blends timeless charm with its picturesque surroundings. Elevated from the street and sited on a 13,098-square-foot lot, the home is framed by mature landscaping that enhances its clean lines, classic architecture, and slate roof. Inside, light-filled spaces flow effortlessly, with newly installed Andersen windows (2021/2022) welcoming abundant natural light. The beautifully renovated kitchen (2023 by Case Design) features Thermador appliances, a built-in breakfast nook, and an adjoining family room. A spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a formal dining room provide elegant settings for entertaining, while a powder room completes this level. Upstairs, the king-sized primary suite offers a custom-built dressing room and an ensuite bath with a jacuzzi, separate rainfall shower, and dual vanities. Three additional bedrooms and two full baths complete this level. The walkout lower level expands the living space with a large family room, a fifth bedroom, a full bath, a spacious mechanical room, and direct access to the two-car garage. A spectacular flagstone patio, designed across multiple tiers, is surrounded by lush landscaping and mature trees, creating a private oasis for relaxation or entertaining. Thoughtfully designed with built-in lighting and a 7-zone sprinkler system, the outdoor spaces also feature a koi pond and a perched seating area. The expansive front and side yards offer the potential for a fenced enclosure. Recent updates include new flues for all chimneys, a 22KW generator, new exterior doors, and updated fixtures. Located just one traffic light from DC, Chain Bridge Forest is known for its verdant setting, tree-lined sidewalks, and prime location.
