$25,000 Above For a Chevy Chase Farmhouse

Fun accents throughout this Chevy Chase farmhouse include brassy hardware and creative wallpaper, and those attributes may have played a role in it fetching a $25,000 premium above its asking price. UrbanTurf was quite fond of the kitchen, which was renovated in 2015 and has a large center island, quartz countertops and various-sized cabinetry. The basement makes a great option for entertaining guests thanks to a bar with a built-in sink and wine fridge. For those who enjoy spending time outside, there is also a full yard in the front along with a covered porch, and patio area out back.
