3326 Quesada Street NW

Description

In 1892 the newly married Horace Jones proudly added a state-of-the-art addition to the north side of his Chevy Chase farmhouse, a much older structure likely dating from the previous century. The original farmstead at what is now 3326 Quesada St NW is believed to have been built by the Belt family who owned the land, and was quite similar to the Belt farmhouse now incorporated into the Chevy Chase Country Club (in CC, MD). Updated to current building code, the 1892 addition once again exhibits its wrap-around porch (torn off in 1924) and preserves its original layout of entry parlor and dining room on the main level, with two bedrooms on the second floor. Two bathrooms have been added to the original layout. The original farmstead was razed in 1924; in its place now stands a reimagined farmhouse, built with all the care and dignity of the original. The living area and kitchen are adjacent to the original parlor and dining room, and an ADA compliant main floor suite has been added on the east side. The second floor opens onto a mezzanine overlooking the main floor and back yard. Off of the mezzanine is the primary bedroom suite with its sumptuous bath and dressing room. The third floor opens to a play area off which there are two more bedrooms with a shared bath, and an office. Exterior finish details include hand-milled custom wood siding on both north and south sections of the home, standing-seam metal roofs, custom European wood windows (from LePage, Canada). Interior finishes include American cherry floors to match Pennsylvania Amish-crafted cabinetry, custom built-ins, fine lighting and Miele appliances. There is an elevator to all 4 floors. The new basement has a spacious gym area, a +-+ bath, and a bedroom with ensuite bath. Back yard amenities include a dipping pool and outdoor kitchen. The two-car garage is outfitted for EVs with two chargers, and there is a studio with kitchenette and full bath atop the garage. The property backs to Layfayette-Pointer Park, and when the leaves are down, has a view all the way to the National Cathedral. Delivery is slated for early fall, 2023.
