3925 Mckinley Street NW

Classic c. 1920 Chevy Chase farmhouse with exceptional scale, an incredibly smart use of space, and a location that puts the best of the neighborhood just outside your door. Set at 3925 McKinley Street NW, just a block and a half from the shops and restaurants along Connecticut Avenue and only a few blocks from Friendship Heights, this is a home that feels both wonderfully spacious and remarkably connected. A gracious columned front porch opens to a center-hall foyer and a main level made for both entertaining and everyday living. Generously scaled living and dining rooms provide plenty of room to gather, while original hardwood floors, crown molding, and a white-brick fireplace bring warmth and character. French doors open from the living room to a window-filled den/reading rooma cozy counterpoint to the home's larger entertaining spaces and an ideal spot to unwind. The bright kitchen features granite counters, a center island, gas cooking, skylight, and built-in breakfast banquette, with direct access to a large rear deck. Beyond the deck is additional green space, while the home's nicely sized front and side yards provide even more outdoor breathing room. Upstairs, the thoughtful floor plan continues with four genuinely well-proportioned bedrooms and excellent natural light throughout. The primary suite includes an en-suite bath, walk-in closet, sunny sitting bay, and the unexpected luxury of a dedicated home office tucked just off the bedroomprivate, convenient, and brilliantly placed for working from home. Three additional bedrooms are all comfortably sized and share a full hall bath. And there is still room to grow. A walk-up attic is begging for transformation into additional living space, while the full-height, approximately 1,089-square-foot lower level offers tremendous possibilities. With excellent ceiling height and walkout access, it could become an expansive family room, guest suite, home gym, studio, or potentially a separate guest apartment. Central A/C and a one-car garage complete the package. And the location is hard to beat: just 1.5 blocks to Connecticut Avenue and neighborhood favorites including the Avalon Theatre, Macon Bistro, Little Beast, BirdSong, and Wheelhouse, with Friendship Heights Metro, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences just a few blocks away. Spacious without feeling oversized, full of natural light, and exceptionally well planned, 3925 McKinley Street NW is a lovely Chevy Chase home with the character of the 1920s, the spaces people want today, and extraordinary potential for what comes next.
