Located in "The Village of Martin's Additions,"
Chevy Chase, MD.

This bright, charming brick colonial, built in 1934, is sited on a fabulous, deep private lot in the Village of Martin's Additions. A delightful home just as it is, it is also well suited to either small or grand scale additions. The house is flooded with light and room sizes are generous. It has hardwood floors, plaster walls, attractive archways, as well as a delightful screened porch.

The garden is special ... a paradise with an incredible variety of flowers and shrubs as well as several towering shade trees. A completely organic garden, the soil has been enriched over the past several years with 7,000 lbs of soil amendments that include compost, compro and cocoa mulch.

This block of Shepherd Street is close to Shepherd Park which offers a playground with modern play equipment, a tennis court and playing fields. It is also just a short walk from a neighborhood grocery store and drug store.
