Cottage

OPEN SATURDAY, 1-4. OPEN SUNDAY, 2-4. Welcome to 3205 Cummings Lane! Nestled on one of Chevy Chase’s most picturesque streets, this beautifully updated cottage-style home offers the perfect balance of modern comfort and timeless charm. Don’t be fooled by its storybook façade — this move-in-ready gem is surprisingly spacious, with just under 3,000 square feet across three finished levels, three bedrooms, and two full baths. With its wonderful curb appeal — lush landscaping, mature trees, and a welcoming front walkway — this home immediately draws you in. And the location couldn’t be better: just steps from Chevy Chase Park, the weekly farmer’s market, Brookville Market, La Ferme Restaurant, and all the neighborhood favorites on Brookville Road. Plus, it’s in-bounds for membership in the coveted CCRA Swim and Tennis Club. Inside, sunlight fills every corner. The refinished white oak floors and thoughtfully designed layout create a natural flow throughout. The main level welcomes you with a wide entry hall, complete with a coat closet, a bright living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, and an elegant dining room that comfortably seats eight. The fully renovated kitchen features soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, a subway tile backsplash, recessed lighting, stainless steel appliances, and a newly added pantry closet. Just off the kitchen, a sun-splashed family room awaits — with vaulted ceilings, a second wood-burning fireplace, built-ins, two skylights, and French doors that open to a lovely backyard patio. Flooded with natural light and framed by greenery, it’s the perfect spot to relax or entertain. The main-floor bedroom includes a completely updated ensuite bath with a brand-new shower. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a peaceful retreat, with a spacious closet and a cozy alcove that is a perfect space for a sitting area, nursery, or home office. A large second bedroom with two closets, and a beautifully updated hall bath, completes the upper level. The lower level offers exceptional versatility, featuring a newly carpeted recreation room, a bonus flex space with new luxury plank flooring (ideal for a gym or work room), plus a laundry room and utility area. Outside, you’ll find mature landscaping, a detached one-car garage, and a long driveway providing ample off-street parking. The back patio offers a private spot to unwind, surrounded by lush trees and a perennial garden. With its abundance of updates, bright, inviting living spaces, and an unbeatable location, 3205 Cummings Lane is everything you could want — a spacious yet cozy cottage with modern updates, wonderful curb appeal, and timeless Chevy Chase charm.
