About this home
Need space and upside? This solid brick colonial gives you three full levels and just over 3,000 square feet to work with — including 5 true bedrooms and 2 full baths, one on the main-level bedroom that’s perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or a home office. The property has already appraised at $10,000 above the asking price, so you’re starting with built-in value from day one.
The major updates you don’t want to pay for are already handled (roof 2018, water heater 2019, A/C inside & out 2025). What’s left are the cosmetic and lifestyle upgrades where buyers gain the most return. And here’s where the fun begins: sweat equity is the grown-up version of “some assembly required.” You get a bigger house, a better location, and a lower price because you’re willing to roll up your sleeves. Update the kitchen and baths to your taste, and you’re not just customizing — you’re creating equity well beyond what you spend. *Note - some photos are virtually staged and some are concept renderings. Buyer should do their own due diligence on what updates and upgrades are possible **
If you’ve been searching for a larger Cheverly home - with a garage! - you can personalize without paying a premium for someone else’s choices, this is the opportunity. A big footprint, a bigger value play, and room to build long-term equity in one of the most desirable communities inside the Beltway.
Major systems are solid: roof 2018, water heater 2019, A/C (inside & out) 2025. A professional appraisal six months ago valued the home at $545,000. It’s a solid, generously sized house that needs updating—which is exactly why it’s such a great opportunity. Buyers can move in, fix things up over time, and build real sweat equity instead of paying a premium for someone else’s upgrades.
And Cheverly? It's where community actually means something. It’s the kind of town where you wave to your neighbors, join a club you didn’t even know you needed, and somehow end up volunteering at the next block party. From the Community Market to Cheverly Day, there’s always something happening.
The Metro’s just about a mile away, so getting into DC is easy, and when it’s time to stock up, you’ve got Aldi, Wegmans, Lidl, Yes Organic Market, Whole Foods, Harris Teeter, and MOM’s all relatively close by. Need to hit Baltimore, Annapolis, or even “downee ocean, hun”? You’re right off 295 and Route 50, so you can be on your way in minutes.
Come see 3212 Crest Ave and experience The Cheverly Goodlife—small-town spirit, big-city access, and a community that’s easy to fall in love with.
