About this home
A truly rare opportunity in Chevy Chase Village! Welcome to 5 Chevy Chase Circle, an architectural gem known for its striking size, prime location, and captivating Arts and Crafts design lovingly known as "The Purple House". Originally built in the 1890s, this three-story residence, standing sentinel-like between Grafton Street and Magnolia Parkway, has a storied past that includes serving as a one-story schoolhouse, the Chevy Chase Land Company sales office, and later as the rectory for All Saints' Episcopal Church from the 1940s to the 1970s. As one of only two homes on the Circle — alongside the Corby Mansion — this frame and stucco masterpiece features wide overhanging eaves with brackets and robust, oversized porch columns. Buffering the home from the Circle is a charming parklet, with intersecting brick paths, providing a serene oasis amidst historic grandeur.
The home has a unique and private setting on a large, 14,904 sq ft lot. The expansive property is surrounded by mature trees and has been professionally landscaped for the utmost privacy and year-round color. It offers a wide variety of spaces to relax, play, and entertain - including a commanding front porch, side yards, a rear terrace overlooking the beautiful pool and hot tub, and a motor court and garage. Approaching the home off Chevy Chase Circle, you are greeted by the front porch and then enter the beautiful vestibule with French doors that open to the incredible foyer and breathtaking staircase. The main level of the home is spacious with high ceilings, original trims, hardwood floors and many grand rooms to live and entertain comfortably. A stately living room with coffered ceilings centers around the large and newly restored fireplace. This wing of the home also features a private office space leading to a separate terrace and a powder room off the foyer.
Exiting the foyer to the right, you can directly access the impressive separate dining room with another fireplace. You can also walk down the hall to the heart of the home - the spacious kitchen including a large cooking space, separate island, eat-in space for 10+ and a tucked away butler's pantry that circles to the dining room. Off the eat-in kitchen is a gorgeous family room that is bathed in light from incredible windows and includes a spectacular stone fireplace. The family room leads directly to the terrace overlooking the pool. A mudroom off the kitchen leads to the motor court and a detached two-car garage.
Upstairs you will find two more finished levels offering another 3500 square feet of living space. The second floor includes the primary suite with a large walk-in closet, a third wood burning fireplace, and private balcony along with an additional 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The top level includes a striking and spacious rec room with a fifth fireplace that could easily function as a playroom, library, or additional bedroom. This floor also includes two more bedrooms, landing area, storage, and another full bath. The lower level of the home offers over 1200 sq ft of versatile space and storage areas, another bathroom, laundry area, and a sauna. Recent updates to the home include two brand new Carrier HVAC systems installed on 06/25, rebuilding the main fireplace and chimney, and recently upgraded pool heater, pool refinishing, and filter system.
Chevy Chase Village is an historic community just over the DC/MD line. The Village’s tree-lined streets, brick sidewalks, and open parks, combine with walking-distance access to public transportation, shopping, schools, restaurants, the Chevy Chase Country Club, and theaters to offer the best of urban and suburban living. Chevy Chase Village has its own police force that patrols the neighborhood 24/7, package pickup while you are on vacation, handles all trash, recycling, and snow plowing, and it is all run out of the centrally-located Village Hall on Connecticut Avenue which is open to residents for events throughout the year.
