What's around 5533 33rd Street Northwest

About this property

In these chaotic times do you ever wonder about a simpler era, one your parents or grandparents talk about? Well, this neighborhood, on this particular block, on this particular side of the street, if you squint life feels untouched by time. An original c1920 home, this classic brick thru-side hall colonial has had the same owner for more than 60 years. I mentioned this particular side of the street - as you approach the home you will notice a perfectly elevated setback giving a bit of prominence, enhanced by the full width deep front porch. By now you are in a calmer state of mind as you enter the home in the hall looking all the way to the back, high ceiling, large abundant windows, original hardwood floors thru-out, all enriching generous living and dining - and a bonus space adjacent dining room: to use 1920s jargon, a lovely morning room. The kitchen offers good space, original cabinets and fridge, dishwasher and stove are 2 years old. There is also a large, windowed pantry. And a powder room is in the hall just off the kitchen. Upstairs the original 4-bedroom configuration was changed by removing the wall between the primary bedroom (w/shower bathroom) and 2nd bedroom – creating a suite that met the owner’s needs but easily converted back if you need the extra bedroom. Between this and the 3rd and 4th bedrooms is the original windowed hall bath. Accessed through the 4th bedroom is the attic level. The term ‘attic’ seems unfair as it is a vast bright space. The basement level is large unobstructed space, unfinished with laundry and plumbed for a commode. The backyard has a large deck overlooking a sweet grassy area, plus an oversized 1-car (maybe 2 Mini-Coopers) garage. This location speaks for itself - the commerce between Chevy Chase Circle and Military Road meets every possible need. If that’s not enough go a bit further down Connecticut Ave between Nebraska and Fessenden. And if that’s not enough, there is always Friendship Heights. But special to this home – Lafayette Elementary School is so close you could almost zip-line there. (I don’t recommend it!) Then there is (some say) the heartbeat of the neighborhood, Broad Branch Market. It’s been around a year longer than this home – yes,1919. A true original corner store, it has evolved into a gourmet gem. It is so close you could almost get rid of your fridge! (I don’t recommend it!) As a practical matter, the house is being offered as-is but it is livable (occupied until last February) so you could move in until you figure it out or go for it – a complete renovation. At this price in this neighborhood, you could not over-improve the property. Welcome to your time portal – now it’s your turn…
