3700 Underwood St Chevy Chase, MD 20815

Welcome to this extraordinary residence, where timeless charm meets modern sophistication. Originally a 1920s Sears kit home, this property was masterfully transformed by award-winning architect Mark McInturff. While the traditional exterior maintains its classic appeal, the interior unfolds into an open, light-filled layout with clean lines, modern finishes, and exceptional craftsmanship. Inside, soaring 9-foot ceilings and maple flooring create a warm and inviting atmosphere. A gracious center hall opens to a sunlit living room with a gas fireplace on one side and a spacious dining room on the other, which flows seamlessly into the custom family room and kitchen. The family room features exquisite maple cabinetry and built-ins, echoing the tone of the maple floors and offering direct access to an expansive 8-foot-deep wraparound porch—ideal for entertaining and everyday enjoyment. The kitchen is outfitted with high-end modern appliances and blends beautifully with the open floor plan. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, boasting a sunny sitting area, a turret-like vaulted ceiling, generous closet spaces, a gas fireplace, and a spacious bath. A second bedroom—formerly two rooms—offers flexibility, while a hall bath and a bonus room (ideal for a small office, laundry, or future third bath with existing plumbing) complete this level. The top floor showcases two oversized rooms with vaulted ceilings, window seats, and abundant natural light from a dramatic third-floor skylight. A standout architectural element is the award-winning maple staircase with contemporary cable railing, which visually connects all three levels with elegance and light. The lower level includes a laundry area, workshop, and ample storage. Outside, the lushly landscaped lot is a private oasis with mature Plane Trees, Astor, Nepeta, and manicured lawn and hardscape—reflecting years of thoughtful care. Set in the highly sought-after Section 5 of the Village of Chevy Chase, this home enjoys a rare blend of neighborhood charm and walkable amenities, just steps from La Ferme, Brookville Market, local shops, and two prestigious private clubs. Its location offers convenient access to both downtown Bethesda and Washington, D.C.—an exceptional opportunity in a truly magical setting.
