7203 Summit Ave Chevy Chase, MD 20815

Listing details for 7203 Summit Ave, Chevy Chase, MD 20815 : A colonial charmer nestled amidst verdant surroundings in the heart of historic Martin’s Additions, 7203 Summit Avenue is the poster child for a century-old residence reinvented to suit contemporary lifestyle demands while retaining every ounce of its original character. Prominently positioned within mature foliage, the home is set far back from the street, introduced by a deep front lawn bifurcated with an elegant brick paver walkway. It ascends a set of steps to the front door, uniquely offset within the facade beneath a mini gable. The front door opens into a generously proportioned foyer from which the main level spaces cascade. Parlor-like in its nature, the space serves as a formal reception area and is sumptuously finished with grasscloth wallpaper as well as a central fireplace with Carrara marble surround. Formal sitting and dining rooms flank the entryway, the former of which is flooded with natural light and accessed through French doors, and the latter of which showcases a large bay window with an integrated bench. The dining room connects directly to the kitchen, which has been fully updated with two-tone white and olive shaker cabinetry, gold hardware, marble countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and a comprehensive suite of stainless steel appliances. The kitchen, via a peninsula with integrated seating, is fully open to the large family room, the home’s main living space. Featuring an entertainment center flanked by built-ins, a wall of glass, and direct access to the rear deck, the space is the heart of the main level. Upstairs, the rear facing primary suite offers sweeping views of the rear lawn, and features a wall of closet space lined with built-ins. The luxurious primary bath showcases stunning spa-like linear tile, a walk-in shower with rain head, and spectacular midcentury modern walnut double vanity. Three additional bedrooms on the upper level share a common hall bathroom. Additional living space is found in the lower level, where a large open-concept recreation room is an ideal place for entertaining. Laundry facilities complete the lower level. Out back, a Southern California-style standalone studio is designed as a quiet retreat, private fitness studio, the ultimate telecommuting solution, or a combination of all. It opens directly onto the rear lawn, which also comprises a full-width deck stepping down to a generous flagstone patio, a space curated for dining and entertaining al fresco on warm summer evenings. A blend of manicured landscaping and thoughtful hardscaping is found throughout the fully fenced, private, and tranquil outdoor space. Offering a truly unique blend of charm, functionality, and accessibility to shops, restaurants, and major commuter routes, 7203 Summit Avenue is the epitome of quiet luxury.
