4004 Underwood St, Chevy Chase, MD 20815

Description

A rare combination of historic character and modern craftsmanship.
From the moment you arrive, the pebble dash stucco façade — framed by mature, lushly layered landscaping of flowering trees, roses, peonies, and azaleas — signals that something special awaits. Follow the curved walkway to a custom-designed solid wood entry door, and step inside.
Rift-and-quartered character grade white oak floors on all three above-grade levels, and the details that greet you at every turn are the kind buyers spend years searching for: rich moldings, bespoke built-ins, a coffered ceiling and antique fireplace mantel in the family room, and a soaring cathedral ceiling that transforms the primary bedroom into a true retreat. On the lower level, radiant heated polished concrete adds a sleek, modern counterpoint — while the mudroom’s handmade hexagonal French terra cotta tile adds one more layer of unexpected delight.
The kitchen features solid ash cabinetry by Wm Ohs of Colorado — one of the country’s most respected custom cabinet makers, honed Absolute Black granite countertops and a custom pine built-in hutch anchors the breakfast area.
Then there is the screened porch — and once you see it, you will understand why it may be the home’s most beloved space. At 14 by 18 feet, with mahogany flooring and a bead board cathedral ceiling.
Practical considerations are equally impressive. Finding two garage spaces in the Town of Chevy Chase is itself a rarity. The attached garage includes a 220-volt line for EV charging, while the detached original garage has been thoughtfully reimagined as a garden shed, storage space, and entertaining room complete with custom sliding barn doors — flexible square footage that grows with your needs, easily reclaimed for your extra vehicle.
Underpinning it all: a dual-zone geothermal HVAC system that delivers exceptional year-round comfort while also assisting with water heating — an investment in both sustainability and long-term savings.
