About this home
3804 Kanawha Street NW is a rare and distinguished offering on one of Chevy Chase’s most coveted streets — a timeless residence of warmth, scale, and understated elegance, coming to market for the first time in 36 years. Beautifully positioned above the street and impeccably maintained, this turn-key home offers the kind of comfort, character, and everyday sophistication that discerning buyers are always searching for and rarely find in such complete form.
From the moment of arrival, the home makes a striking impression. Its stunning oversized front porch, gracefully elevated above the streetscape, serves as both an architectural focal point and an exceptional outdoor living space — a serene and inviting setting for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply enjoying the beauty and rhythm of the neighborhood from a place of quiet privacy. It is a feature that feels both classic and luxurious, instantly setting the tone for the residence within.
Inside, the home unfolds with a beautifully balanced floor plan designed for both refined daily living and effortless entertaining. Offering 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, the residence is further enhanced by not one, but two exceptional light-filled additions that add meaningful scale, versatility, and natural warmth. These expansive spaces create an atmosphere that is open yet intimate, polished yet livable — ideal for everything from casual family living to sophisticated gatherings.
Gorgeous hardwood floors anchor the main level with richness and continuity, while recessed lighting throughout adds a clean, elevated finish and a sense of understated refinement. At the heart of the home is a gourmet chef’s kitchen, thoughtfully appointed with abundant storage and stainless steel Sub-Zero appliances, offering both high-function design and timeless appeal. Recently painted and exceptionally well presented, the home offers a true move-in-ready opportunity without compromise.
Upstairs, the primary suite is both elegant and inviting, offering a sense of retreat along with versatile space and generous closets that elevate everyday living. Two additional bedrooms are beautifully proportioned, while a fourth bedroom is currently configured as a sophisticated home office and upper-level laundry center — a thoughtful and highly functional use of space that speaks to the way today’s buyers want to live.
The outdoor experience is equally compelling. A large, flat rear yard provides rare scale and flexibility in this premier urban setting, with ample room for outdoor entertaining, play, gardening, or pets. Together with the front porch, it creates a home that lives beautifully both inside and out.
And of course, the location is exceptional. Set on a highly sought-after street in the heart of Chevy Chase, the property offers remarkable walkability and immediate access to neighborhood favorites, daily conveniences, and the enduring appeal of one of Washington’s most prestigious residential communities.
First time on the market in more than three decades, 3804 Kanawha Street NW is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of substance, grace, and livability in an address of lasting distinction — a residence that truly checks every box at a price point where quality, presence, and location matter most....
