3805 Gramercy St

JUST re-staged to highlight all the bespoke features! NEW PRICE! People wait years to find a home on enchanting Gramercy Street NW, tucked away on one of Chevy Chase DC’s most revered streets. Spanning one charming block, the street creates an unmatched sense of community and quiet sanctuary in the heart of Upper Northwest. This remarkable 1931 Tudor, perfectly sited on a 7,400+ square-foot lot, combines classic architectural character and striking curb appeal with gracious room sizes that embody the romance, integrity, and sophisticated craftsmanship of a bygone era. From the storybook façade, a welcoming portico leads to the home’s main entrance, where an original carved-wood door opens into gracious, light-filled living spaces. The foyer showcases the home’s timeless character, with its original staircase, gleaming hardwood floors, detailed moldings, and beautifully preserved woodwork throughout. The gracious formal living room, extending more than 24 feet in length, is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with its original mantel and surround. French doors open to a sun-drenched sunroom, an inviting and versatile space ideal for a home office or intimate sitting room. The generously sized formal dining room, distinguished by custom inlaid wood floors, flows seamlessly into the renovated gourmet kitchen, featuring a granite-topped island, stainless steel appliances, a pantry, and an everyday dining area. Just off the kitchen, a glass-walled conservatory offers a beautiful setting for dining and entertaining or a light-filled space for growing herbs and gardening. The hall features a charming powder room accented by exposed brick, while just beyond lies the breathtaking family room. Soaring ceilings, custom wood detailing, herringbone tile floors, recessed lighting, a ceiling fan, and a dramatic wall of windows create a space that feels both expansive and inviting. The unexpected star of the room is a whimsical climbing wall, adding a playful and memorable touch to this gathering space. Head up the stairs to discover a charming built-in bench seat and the first bedroom, equally well suited as an office or study, featuring original wood paneling, built-in bookshelves and desk, a wood-burning fireplace, and skylights that fill the space with warm natural light. Two additional generously sized bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while the large primary bedroom is an impressive 31' x 14', complete with two walk-in cedar closets and a renovated en suite bathroom with custom tilework. Up another set of stairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide flexible space for family, guests or home offices, complemented by another cedar closet and attic storage. The lower level offers even more versatile living space, with a newly carpeted family room ideal for movie nights, recreation or a home gym. A laundry room, workshop and utility room add everyday functionality, while the one-car garage provides ample space for both a vehicle and a dedicated storage or work area, plus additional overhead storage accessible by ladder. The inviting outdoor space features a bluestone patio, mature landscaping and a lush lawn that together create a private and peaceful oasis. With plenty of room for gardening, al fresco dining, entertaining, and play, the backyard is designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Ideally situated at the crossroads of Chevy Chase and Tenleytown, the home offers easy access to the shops, restaurants, everyday conveniences, parks, green spaces, and schools along both the Wisconsin and Connecticut Avenue corridors. Neighborhood favorites include Sfoglina, Bucks Fishing & Camping, Comet Ping Pong, Guapo’s, Pete’s Pizza, beloved Politics and Prose bookstore, and the historic Avalon Theatre, DC’s oldest continuously operating movie house. Commuting is equally convenient, with both the Friendship Hts. and Tenleytown-AU Red Line Metro stations 1 mile away.
