Property Description

A rare offering in the heart of Ashland Park, this distinguished Colonial Revival residence stands as a testament to the enduring elegance and architectural refinement that defined the style's popularity at the turn of the century. Among the earliest homes constructed on coveted South Ashland Avenue, it enjoys a commanding presence and a rich connection to one of Lexington's most treasured historic neighborhoods. A gracious front porch sets the tone, inviting leisurely afternoons spent greeting neighbors and enjoying the timeless charm of tree-lined South Ashland Avenue. Inside, soaring ceilings, exquisite millwork, and a wide center hall create a sense of grandeur rarely found in today's homes. A remarkable reverse staircase, illuminated by a skylight above, provides access to the second level from the rear of the residence while filling the home's interior with natural light. Throughout, distinctive crown moldings highlight the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while the kitchen's handsome coffered ceiling adds warmth and architectural interest. Designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable daily living, the first floor features an exceptional collection of gathering spaces, including a formal living room, formal dining room, a richly appointed den, an inviting family room, a spacious kitchen, a bedroom, and a full bath. Each room flows gracefully into the next, creating an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and welcoming. The second level features a spacious primary suite with a cozy sitting area, providing a private retreat at day's end. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath enjoy lovely views of the beautifully landscaped rear grounds. Outdoors, the private backyard serves as a peaceful oasis, with mature landscaping and a deck perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. The porte cochere provides covered parking and everyday convenience while complementing the home's historic character. Ideally located just steps from the boutiques, cafés, and restaurants of Chevy Chase, this exceptional residence offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of Ashland Park history while enjoying one of Lexington's most desirable and walkable neighborhoods.
