2833 Northampton St NW

Back on the market after our neighbor lost a 400 year old tree earlier this week! The home was unharmed and the street has been reopened for traffic. Nestled in the trees, this Chevy Chase storybook cottage beckons you home. Set back comfortably off the street, the home welcomes you with a cobblestone driveway, a flagstone patio and peaceful screened-in front porch. Formal living and dining rooms flank a gracious staircase and are accented with delicately-detailed crown moulding, charming plantation shutters and gleaming, newly-refinished hardwood floors. The updated kitchen offers verdant views of the backyard, stone countertops, stainless appliances and classic Shaker cabinetry. A private, main level bedroom and full bath offer the conveniences of one-level living. The second floor greets you with a window perch overlooking the back gardens. The generous owners' bedroom features a large walk-in closet and sitting area. Storage areas are extensive throughout the home providing incredible storage, complemented by the oversized 2-car garage at the end of the private driveway. Another gracious stairwell leads to a hardwood-floored lower level family room and a full bath, providing the opportunity for an in-law suite. A wine cellar and utility area with full-size washer and dryer sit adjacent. Enjoy late afternoons in the landscaped backyard with its sun-splashed patio. Walking distance to St John's High School and Rock Creek Park and just a half mile from Lafayette Elementary and the Broad Branch Market.
