About This Property
Some homes simply have it — that rare combination of historic character and modern craftsmanship that stops you mid-scroll and makes you need to see it in person. 4004 Underwood is that home.
From the moment you arrive, the pebble dash stucco façade — framed by mature, lushly layered landscaping of flowering trees, roses, peonies, and azaleas — signals that something special awaits. Follow the curved walkway to a custom-designed solid wood entry door, and step inside.
Rift-and-quartered character grade white oak floors carry you through all three above-grade levels, and the details that greet you at every turn are the kind buyers spend years searching for: rich moldings, bespoke built-ins, a coffered ceiling and antique fireplace mantel in the family room, and a soaring cathedral ceiling that transforms the primary bedroom into a true retreat. On the lower level, radiant heated polished concrete adds a sleek, modern counterpoint — while the mudroom’s handmade hexagonal French terra cotta tile adds one more layer of unexpected delight.
The kitchen is a craftsman’s statement. Solid ash cabinetry by Wm Ohs of Colorado — one of the country’s most respected custom cabinet makers — pairs with honed Absolute Black granite countertops for a look that is simultaneously timeless and refined. A custom pine built-in hutch anchors the breakfast area with warmth and practicality.
Then there is the screened porch — and once you see it, you will understand why it may be the home’s most beloved space. At 14 by 18 feet, with mahogany flooring and a bead board cathedral ceiling, it is the kind of room that turns summer evenings into something worth savoring.
Practical considerations are equally impressive. Finding two garage spaces in the Town of Chevy Chase is itself a rarity. The attached garage includes a 220-volt line for EV charging, while the detached original garage has been thoughtfully reimagined as a garden shed, storage space, and entertaining room complete with custom sliding barn doors — flexible square footage that grows with your needs.
And underpinning it all: a dual-zone geothermal HVAC system that delivers exceptional year-round comfort while also assisting with water heating — an investment in both sustainability and long-term savings.
4004 Underwood is not a house that was renovated to look like something special. It is something special — a superior quality, recently constructed home built on a century of character, elevated by craftspeople who cared about every last detail. Some homes you tour. This one you remember.
