About this single-family home
Nestled in the heart of Glendale's idyllic Chevy Chase neighborhood, this Transitional Colonial whispers tales of storied romance and elegance. Designed by esteemed architect Merrill Baird in 1949 as a cherished creation for the Staub Family, its magnificent structure stands as a testament to timeless craftsmanship. As you step through the formal entry, the charm of by-gone era details captivates you. The curving staircase pulls you upstairs where two luxurious primary suites await, offering restful retreats. The lower level houses a third bedroom, a kitchen with eat-in bay window, an adjoining butler's pantry, laundry room, and a formal dining room that has witnessed many celebratory feasts. The expansive living room, with its intricate moldings and peg and groove original wood floors, invites heartwarming conversations by one of the home's three fireplaces. The sunroom, bathed in gentle light, is perfect for quiet moments of reflection, while the back patio, through its French doors, is tailor-made for intimate alfresco gatherings. Venture outside, and the sprawling 14,000 sq ft lot unfolds like the pages of a fairy tale. A beautiful mosaic of garden pathways leads you through a verdant tapestry of oak, pepper, lemon, avocado, magnolia, ash, and other mature trees. The deliberate addition of over 300 bushes and 15 trees by the current owners transforms the space into a park-like sanctuary, an oasis in the midst of the city. Adding to the allure is a 2-car detached garage, complemented by a separate office accessible both from the street and the backyard, offering the perfect blend of convenience and privacy. An entertainer's dream, the fully private backyard is an invitation to create memories under the canopy of stars. Every corner of this home radiates warmth and character, promising a life rich with cherished moments. This isn't just a house; it's a love story waiting to be lived.
