*Open House Sat 05/23 12pm-2pm* Welcome to 3419 Raymond St. in the heart of Chevy Chase, MD — a rare opportunity to own a timeless early-20th-century home in the coveted Martins Addition neighborhood, an inviting enclave known for its tree-lined streets, strong sense of community, and unbeatable location. Situated on a premier block in one of the nation’s most sought-after zip codes, this exceptional property perfectly blends historic charm, modern luxury, privacy, and convenience. Positioned on a quiet, dead-end street and set on a large lot surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens and mature landscaping, the home offers a peaceful residential setting just minutes from everything. Enjoy being less than 5 minutes from Washington, DC, approximately 5–10 minutes to Downtown Bethesda, and only minutes from major commuter routes including the Beltway.

Built in 1911, this classic modified Foursquare seamlessly blends original architectural character with thoughtful modern updates and refined finishes throughout. The home welcomes you with a generous front porch, oversized oak front door, hardwood flooring, pocket doors, two fireplaces, and a stunning wood colonnade with paneled beam detail that elegantly defines the living spaces while maintaining an open and light-filled flow. Rich in craftsmanship and period detail, the home offers warmth, sophistication, and timeless appeal rarely found today.

At the center of the home is a beautifully renovated 2024 kitchen by Karl Construction that perfectly balances classic design with modern performance. Anchored by a striking custom range wall with paneled hood and pot filler, the space features crisp shaker-style cabinetry extending to the ceiling, marble countertops, full-height marble backsplash, professional-grade appliances, brass fixtures and gallery rails, and a thoughtfully curated blend of painted upper cabinetry with warm natural wood lower cabinetry for added depth and character. A charming vintage-style ironstone sink serves as a focal point along the secondary wall, while integrated appliances and additional marble surfaces maintain a cohesive and elevated design throughout. One of the kitchen’s standout features is the custom pantry concealed behind divided-light French wood doors with dark metal hardware, offering exceptional storage while adding architectural interest.

Additional updates and improvements throughout the home provide both comfort and peace of mind, including new kitchen appliances in 2024, hot water heater in 2016, new boiler in 2022, roof and gutters replaced in 2019, upper AC in 2023, lower AC in 2022, and both chimneys and fireboxes completely rebuilt in 2024. The home also features a recently fully finished attic and a beautifully remodeled primary suite experience, including a luxurious primary bathroom, custom walk-in closet, and private screened porch retreat directly off the suite.

This is a truly special offering that combines the charm and architectural integrity of a historic Chevy Chase home with the high-end updates and functionality today’s buyers are seeking — all in an unbeatable Martins Addition location close to DC, Bethesda, parks, dining, shopping, and commuter access.
