DRIVEWAY ON DRESDEN ST. Welcome to this grand 5 bedroom, 4½ bath Colonial, built in 2015 in sought-after Chevy Chase View. Sited on a professionally landscaped, .40 acre corner lot, this beautiful home was designed to take advantage of the private setting and is filled with all the amenities today’s home buyers are seeking.

As you enter the 2-story foyer there is an ambience of openness and warmth. On opposite sides of the entry are a formal dining room and a living room with coffered ceilings. With space to accommodate large gatherings, the light-filled dining room makes entertaining a breeze. Also on this level are a powder room and a private study tucked away behind French doors.

The gourmet kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, center island with seating, a large pantry, built-in desk and casual eating area. Open to the kitchen is a spacious family room warmed by a gas fireplace and hardwood floors. A wall of windows allows for abundant natural light. Both rooms are accessible from the 2-car garage and mudroom with storage cubbies and separate side entrance.

French doors from the living room open to a flagstone patio with built-in fire pit and seating area. Fenced rear and side yards offer a uniquely serene and private setting, a beautiful spot to enjoy time with family and friends.

There are four bedrooms upstairs. The master includes a separate seating area, his and her closets with custom shelving, and a spa-like bathroom with a tub and walk-in shower. The 2nd bedroom boasts en-suite bath with walk-in closet, while the 3rd and 4th bedrooms share a bath. A versatile loft area can be whatever you want it to be: family room, playroom or yoga/Peloton studio! The laundry room with sink and 2 additional linen closets offers added convenience.

With approximately 1800 square feet, the lower level, with its own entrance, can serve as a private guest/au-pair suite with a 5th bedroom, full bath, and space for a second kitchen. This level is also perfect for a recreation or game room, with ample space for a pool or ping-pong table. Off the main room is a theater room wired for Surround Sound – perfect for movie night with friends and family.
