3616 East Chevy Chase Drive

Tucked away at the end of a private flag lot in Chevy Chase Canyon, this 1973 architectural home offers a rare combination of privacy, design and indoor-outdoor living on more than half an acre. Surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, the three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence feels remarkably removed… from the city, with a saltwater pool and built-in spa nestled among established hedges and trees. A magnificent sycamore anchors the front garden, dramatic natural boulders punctuate the landscape, and a mature avocado tree adds to the feeling of living in a private park. Inside, clean contemporary interiors provide a natural counterpoint to the greenery outside. The renovated 2024 kitchen is centered around an oversized waterfall island, with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops and premium appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Glass doors open directly to the garden, making the outdoors a part of everyday life. The adjoining living spaces are warm and understated, with a gas fireplace, large windows framing the landscape and DuChateau engineered hardwood flooring throughout much of the home. The primary suite includes a completely renovated 2026 bathroom with a walk-in shower, dual vanity, Kohler fixtures, custom cabinetry, a separate vanity and storage area with seating, and a walk-in closet. Outside, the pool and spa create a remarkably private place to swim and relax, with a retractable pool cover concealed beneath the surrounding hardscape. A path winds from the front garden up the hillside, with benches along the way and a treetop outlook from above the house. Landscape lighting allows the gardens to take on a different character after dark. Quiet and secluded, yet convenient to the 134 and 210 freeways, the property also features a recently installed whole-home water filtration system, Tesla Universal EV charger, and Wi-Fi-enabled MyQ driveway gate and garage door. Updated, private and surrounded by established landscape, this is a property that feels less like a house on a large lot than a retreat of its own. Read More
