8817 Hawkins Ln

 A rare opportunity for a special home on a historic lane in Chevy Chase. The high ceilings and modern floor plan of this five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom belies the rich history of this street, which began in the 1890s when a few acres of land was purchased by James H. Hawkins, a formerly enslaved man who founded a community for recently emancipated families.

James' son, Samuel, would go on to build the road now known as Hawkins Lane, arrange for electricity service, and construct several of the original homes on the street, which served as a close-knit, self-reliant enclave for homeowners here for decades.

This home is nestled near the end of Hawkins Lane, on the eastern side of the street, where it backs to the trees of North Chevy Chase Park and features a fully-finished walkout basement and level backyard. Relax at the end of night on your front covered porch or head inside to enjoy the open concept living combining both the living and dining room as well as the kitchen and family room.

 The modern designed kitchen makes family cooking as simple as it can be with stainless steel appliances, including a double oven and an electric cook top built-in to the eat-in island. Entertaining guests both inside as well as outside will be even easier with French Doors in the Family Room leading to the large deck overlooking the tree filled yard.

 Two well-sized bedrooms plus a truly stunning primary bedroom on the second floor of the home. Fall in love with your private primary bedroom with a high vaulted ceiling and a beautifully fully tiled shower and double vanity in your en-suite bathroom. The pristinely finished walkout basement has recessed lighting and newer carpet. Plus, two additional lengthy bedrooms, one with a private updated bathroom that includes a tiled shower and new vanity.
