A Storybook Tudor, discreet from the street.
Chevy’s Chase’s most beloved neighborhood. A stunning Tudor retreat on a quiet tree lined street with sidewalks. Every detail has been meticulously planned. This home has been re-crafted by the award winning boutique builders that have won two prestigious Montgomery County Awards in building and historical preservation. This Tudor is a 1925 treasure with the original antique brass and iron light fixtures, stucco walls, rich dark hardwood floors-seamlessly blended with today’s must have’s.
This elegant Tudor proudly displays the history of Leland Street as it was developed in the 1920’s. The original solid front door and brass hammered mailbox are unique to 1925. Ultra-modern security cameras and automation are at your front door, discreet and hidden within those stucco walls.
Dramatic Entry with Original Door
A wide-entry foyer with a charming mullioned window and distinctive Gothic arches lead to a fairy-tale wonderland of modern and historical touches.
In-Situ deep rich stained floors match beautifully with the original window lush trim. This is not your cookie cutter box!
New home upgrades married to old World Elegance! New Windsor Windows live in the trim and workmanship of 1925.
The living room with original Antique Gothic brass and iron light fixtures have the subtle arch that inspires serenity and peace. The original fireplace with hand forged limestone is a work of art. Of course a gas line is at the ready if needed.
The stucco walls are washed with soft lights from the story book Tudor Wall fixtures. The custom arch entrance opens up to a grand family room, with incredible private vistas and the must have outdoor rooms-the patio stretches to infinity! The family room is 27 feet wide!
Custom windows and French doors echoing the Quatrefoil theme are throughout the house. This ancient design— seen in Gothic style churches and castles is found in secret corners all throughout this special home. This symbol is found in the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris , the Doge’s Palace in Venice and even in the National Cathedral in Washington, DC.
Quatrefoil designs require a high degree of mathematical skill and craftsmanship to execute. The window high in the family room echoes this symbol of peace and good luck. Look for it in the light fixtures and trim too!
Family Room and Kitchen
The family room stretches over 27 feet wide with custom windows and French doors with dreamy views outside access. Hand forged iron balusters connect this great room with eat- in space to the kitchen and stylish Butler’s Pantry.

The Neighborhood
Located in Chevy Chase — the small town near the big city. It feels like a village with its picket fences, wide sidewalks, big shade trees and lots of parks. But Chevy Chase is also less than three minutes by car to Bethesda and so easy to commute to Washington, DC. Nearby Friendship Heights offers shops and restaurants. This beauty is .7 miles to the Red Line Metro.
