A Rare Opportunity on One of Chevy Chase View's Most Coveted Streets Welcome to 4000 Dresden Street—the opportunity the market has been waiting for. Nestled in the heart of the prestigious Chevy Chase View subdivision of Kensington, Dresden Street is known for its deep, wide lots and classic architectural charm. This exceptional property sits proudly atop a gentle hill on one of the neighborhood’s most desirable blocks. Built in 1929, this unique home combines the timeless character of a Cape Cod with the spaciousness and layout of a Center Hall Colonial. From the moment you enter the gracious foyer, you’ll notice the soaring ceiling height and a sense of scale rarely found in homes of this era. A formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace sits to the left, while to the right is an expansive, banquet-sized dining room—perfect for entertaining. The home was thoughtfully expanded to include a generous eat-in kitchen and an adjoining family room, both flooded with natural light from a wall of windows that frame breathtaking views of the 20,000-square-foot lot. On the main level, you'll also find a private primary suite complete with a walk-in closet, full bathroom, and dedicated home office. Upstairs offers four spacious bedrooms and a full hall bathroom, providing ample room for family and guests. The lower level, while unfinished, includes a laundry area, workshop, and walkout access to a garage and large carport, offering flexible space and additional parking. This is a home for the buyer with vision—a blank canvas ready to be transformed into a generational masterpiece in one of Bethesda Magazine’s "10 Great Streets to Live On."
