Description
Welcome to 3814 Jocelyn St. NW, a gracious, light-filled Shingle-Style home ideally situated just a short walk from Friendship Heights. A covered front porch with its original double-door entry opens into a spacious foyer that leads to a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace and an expansive dining room bathed in southern light, featuring a wall of glass overlooking the rear garden. A cozy family room with three exposures and double doors to the garden, along with a generously sized kitchen with newer stainless steel appliances and a convenient coat closet, complete the main level. The private, fully fenced rear garden offers a raised deck and brick patio, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. Upstairs, the sun-filled primary suite includes a large bathroom and a dressing area with four closets, joined by three additional bedrooms, an oversized hall bathroom with dual vessel sinks, and a charming porch overlooking the rear garden. The upper level offers a flexible recreation room with storage, a fifth bedroom, and a private roof deck with sweeping views. The finished lower level, remodeled in 2013, features a recreation room with built-ins, a laundry room, a powder room, and ample storage. Thoughtful updates include a brand new asphalt shingle roof (2026), high-efficiency boiler and water heater (2020), central air conditioner (2019), gutters (2019), window blinds (2019), vinyl windows (2016), and new oak floors on the second floor (2014). Nestled in a coveted Chevy Chase location, the home is just three blocks from the Chevy Chase Recreation Center with tennis and pickleball courts and a large playground, and less than a mile to Murch Elementary, Deal Middle School, and Jackson-Reed High School. Lafayette Park and Recreation Center, with over 12 acres of open space, multiple playgrounds, sports courts, and gardens, is also less than a mile away, along with the beloved year-round farmers market at Lafayette Elementary.
