Tucked away off of Wisconsin Avenue adjacent to the Chevy Chase Club is 4515 Drummond Avenue, an original 1900 Victorian nestled in a tranquil, verdant setting within the Village of Drummond. Situated on a RARE DOUBLE LOT WITH DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY, the home represents a once-in-a-lifetime offering within a truly unparalleled location – an equidistant ten-minute walk to either Downtown Bethesda or Friendship Heights. Having undergone a thorough transformation in 2019, there has been a seamless integration of modern livability while retaining every bit of historic character. The facade’s soothing nautical palate with contrasting white trim evokes effortless elegance and augments curb appeal from one of the neighborhood’s most picturesque streets. Traversing the full-width southern-facing front porch, a refined reception foyer introduces a floor plan equally adept at accommodating formal entertaining as it is casual daily needs. Intricate original millwork accents the space, which opens into the formal living room with a roaring gas fireplace. An original pocket door creates seamless flow between the living room and a large den with built-in bookcases, itself adjacent to the large formal dining room. In the home’s more informal area, the chef’s kitchen is skylit from soaring cathedral ceilings. White shaker cabinetry, a large contrasting island, and a full suite of professional gas appliances greatly enhances the functionality of the space. The large adjacent dining area features a cozy wood burning fireplace and opens to both the patio as well as a stunning screened-in porch via 12-foot accordion doors. Direct access to the attached garage completes the main level. Upstairs, the spectacular primary suite was newly created during the renovation and is a sumptuous retreat. Its ensuite bath is clad in Carrara marble and features dual vanities, a walk-in shower, radiant heated floors, and a stylish freestanding soaking tub. Dual walk-in closets with extensive custom built-ins round off the extensive list of amenities. Two additional bedrooms on the second level are ample in scale, include custom closets, and share a luxurious marble bath. The top level includes two more bedrooms sharing another large bath with dual vanities and a walk-in marble shower, as well as a cedar closet. The finished lower level includes a recreation room with built-in seating, a fitness center, laundry facilities, and powder room. Out back, a whimsical combination of meticulous hardscaping and landscaping harmonize in a natural oasis, fully fenced and surrounded by mature foliage for total privacy. Slate patios and stone retaining walls surround the 32-foot pool, fully refinished in 2021. A meandering gravel path connects the hidden side yard with fire pit and custom pond, an ideal space for outdoor entertaining on warm summer evenings. Having gone beyond skin deep, the renovation included new HVAC systems, wiring, recently installed tankless water heater, and twin 240-volt EV chargers in the garage, whose upper level is framed with electrical rough-ins for a future bonus space. Blocks to schools, trails, parks, and public spaces, 4515 Drummond Avenue is the quintessential home in one of the Capital Region’s most sought-after locations.
