3101 Brooklawn Terrace
Chevy Chase, MD 20815

Some addresses speak for themselves. 3101 Brooklawn Terrace is one of them. With Rock Creek Park and Beach Drive right outside your door. You've got easy access to nature, the Meadowbrook stables, walking paths, and so much more right there. On weekends, the section of Beach Drive that's closed to cars is just down the road. Meadowbrook Stables is nearby, and the Candy Cane City playground is steps away. This is the kind of address that people describe to their friends years after they've moved, because there is nowhere else quite like it. After 30+ years with the same owners, this classic brick rambler is ready for new memories. Situated on a generous corner lot with a circular driveway, two-car attached garage, and the kind of mature canopy that takes decades to grow, it’s a special situation. At 3,431 finished square feet across two levels, it is larger than it looks from the street. Step inside through the double front doors and feel the space. The main level flows through a formal living and dining area — hardwood floors, plantation shutters, recessed lighting, and a built-in buffet that anchors the dining room — and then transitions into the heart of the house: a vaulted family room with skylights, large-format stone floors, a stacked stone fireplace with electric insert and a wall of windows and sliding doors that frame the pool and backyard beyond. The kitchen sits open to this space, generous and practical, with white cabinetry, two pantries, enough space for a real kitchen table, and a window over the sink looking out to the yard. The rooms feel connected to each other and to the outside in a way that is unique. The primary bedroom is quietly impressive: hardwood floors, a wall of shoji-style sliding screens, a ceiling fan, and an en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms share the main level, each with built-in storage that the sellers say they will genuinely miss. A flexible sitting room — previously configured as a fourth bedroom— works as a home office, reading room, or whatever the next owner wants it to be. Downstairs, the finished basement adds 877 square feet of flexible finished space — a large rec room with recessed lighting, a walk-out door to the backyard, and a separate bonus room that has served as a home gym and can serve as an office, studio, or whatever else you’d like. Back to the family room and the screened porch. The porch is a wonderful space for outdoor living, complete with a built-in outdoor grill with a separate flue. You’ll also notice the high-quality casement windows, which make it more like a three-season room. It’s the entryway to all that the back yard has to offer. The backyard is private, fenced, and deep. The pool is there. So is a lovely patio, established gardens, and the kind of wooded backdrop — including a stand of bamboo along the rear fence line — that makes the yard feel like more than a yard. This is a house for people who want space, nature, and a real neighborhood — and who know that those three things rarely come together at one address. SOME PHOTOS HAVE BEEN VIRTUALLY STAGED.
