Rarely does a house come on the market in Chevy Chase that combines an uber-convenient location, ample living space and a huge lot. 6520 Western Avenue is just such a property, boasting 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and a 17,422 square foot lot. Located on the quiet end of Western Avenue far from the traffic closer to Chevy Chase Circle, this placid location is a short distance from all of the amenities of Rock Creek Park, including walking and bike paths, tennis courts, basketball courts, open fields for baseball, soccer and football, Candy Cane City, the historic, premier playground in Chevy Chase and Meadowbrook Stables. The shopping and dining amenities along upper Connecticut Avenue are very close, as are the shops, services, dining and farm market along Brookville Road. Combine this with an easy commute to downtown Washington or Bethesda, and one will find that this location represents the height of convenience. The property itself combines the charm and craftsmanship found in a house built in 1939, often considered an era representing the pinnacle of sturdy quality (when builders included newer technologies prior to the shortages faced during World War II) with modern amenities like the fabulous kitchen, primary bathroom and amazing walk-in closet in the primary suite. The floor plan is conducive to relaxed, functional living, yet it’s perfect for entertaining, with large public rooms and an easy flow to the back deck overlooking the expansive, fenced backyard on this huge, .4-acre lot. Every day, one will be comforted by peaceful surroundings, including loads of natural sunlight, hardwood floors, arched doorways, built-ins, privacy and beautiful landscaping. The highly rated public schools and the proximity to an array of private schools bring an added layer of enduring value to this property, and 6520 Western Avenue will be a place where lifelong memories will be made.
