Colonial

Welcome to the best secret in Chevy Chase. Presented to the market for the first time in decades, this solid brick updated four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath classic Colonial in Rock Creek Forest feels more like a retreat than a typical suburban home. Mere steps to Meadowbrook Stables, Candy Cane Park, and Rock Creek Trail, this is a setting that delivers recreation and respite in equal measure, with curb appeal for days! Sited on a verdant lot resplendent with flowering trees and plants that frame the front facade and hint at the zen-like feeling that envelops the home. Inside, the layout offers an updated kitchen with quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, stainless appliances, and sight-lines that connect to the family room and beyond. A formal living room features built-ins with accent lighting, a fireplace, and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light. There’s also a dedicated dining area, and powder room on this level, creating a main floor that balances openness with purpose. Upstairs, the bedroom level features three oversized bedrooms with double exposures and leafy views. The renovated full bath includes a walk-in shower with a spa seat, stone accents, and bold statement lighting that feels both luxurious and practical. The lower level expands the footprint even further, with a rec room, guest room, full bath, and laundry area, all finished and well maintained. Out back, a brick patio and paved driveway extend the living space, with a ramp that makes for easy entrance and a large, well-integrated shed nestled among mature greenery. The Japanese-inspired garden turns every glance out the window into a moment of calm. Raked gravel, mossy corners, sculptural stone walls, and seasonal surprise plantings give the backyard its peaceful presence. The layered plantings, anchored by an elegantly contoured Japanese maple, create a sense of progression guiding you gently toward a home enveloped in zen-like tranquility. For those who want room to entertain or support a professional work-from-home environment, the home was thoughtfully expanded to accommodate. It holds a legal use and occupancy permit for professional use, with smart features like ramp access, dedicated off-street parking, and a discreet back entrance. The layout offers a seamless flow between private and professional spaces, creating rare flexibility for remote professionals - think CPAs, financial advisors, educational consultants, or IT experts who host clients onsite. Location-wise, 2723 Washington Avenue doesn’t get more connected. From here, you’re minutes to Silver Spring, downtown Bethesda, Rockville, and D.C., with easy access to commuter routes and public transit. Just steps away parks, schools and religious institutions, and the shops and restaurants along Grubb Road. Local private and public schools are near by; Rock Creek Forest Elementary, Silver Creek Middle and B-CC High Schools serve the neighborhood. An absolute treasure, well-maintained, expertly expanded and designed for today's lifestyles. Sprawling just north of the D.C. line, Rock Creek Forest is a Chevy Chase neighborhood known for leafy streets, tidy homes, and a warm community vibe. Bordering Rock Creek Park, the neighborhood offers direct access to trails, playgrounds, and Meadowbrook Stables.

Local favorites include the Parkway Deli (hello pickle bar!) and the community-owned Rock Creek Pool. With easy access to downtown Silver Spring, Bethesda, and upcoming Purple Line transit, Rock Creek Forest blends nature, charm, and convenience in one tight-knit neighborhood.
