Architectural Legacy in Chevy Chase; the Former Home of Leopold Boeckl.
Located on a quiet, tree-lined street in Washington, D.C.'s highly desirable Chevy Chase neighborhood, 3721 Huntington Street NW is a rare opportunity to live in a residence with architectural grandeur. This distinctive five bedroom home was once the personal residence of Leopold Boeckl, a respected Austrian-American architect. Boeckl's signature attention to proportion, natural light, and materiality is evident throughout the property.
Set behind mature landscaping and perched above street level, the layout features 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, with four of the bedrooms conveniently located on the main level. An expansive living area with vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, and custom shelving opens seamlessly into a formal dining room--ideal for gatherings. The spacious kitchen features a south-facing window that fills the room with light, and includes a vintage 1960s globe fixture, a nod to Boeckl's period-specific design choices.
Among the home's standout features is a built-in floor-to-ceiling shelving wall fitted with a custom ladder designed by Boeckl himself. The main-floor primary suite includes an office, generous closets, a full ensuite bath, and direct access to a private patio. Two additional main-level bedrooms share a jack-and-jill bath, with a fourth bedroom with an en suite. The lower level includes its own ensuite, ideal for guests or an au pair. The lower level also offers a bedroom or large recreation room, workshop/storage space, laundry and a secondary entrance from the backyard.
The backyard is a serene escape, enhanced by a private patio and mature plantings. A detached garage and double-glass doors leading to the outdoor space add both convenience and charm.
Perfectly situated in Chevy Chase, the home is walkable to neighborhood staples like Broad Branch Market, The Avalon Theatre, Bread & Chocolate, and the Friendship Heights Metro. Rock Creek Park and nearby green spaces offer easy access to nature and outdoor recreation, while the proximity to Connecticut Avenue and Nebraska Avenue makes commuting simple.
