About this home
Located in a highly sought‑after community, this beautifully updated home impresses from the moment you arrive. A brick walkway framed by lush, mature landscaping sets the tone for the inviting spaces inside.
The open main level features a dramatic two‑story ceiling with skylight, a welcoming living room with gas fireplace and custom built‑ins, and an adjoining dining area—an ideal layout for everyday living and entertaining. The bright, white-on-white center‑island kitchen offers table space, updated finishes, a separate laundry room, and access to the fenced rear patio, creating your own private outdoor retreat. This level also includes a full bath and a versatile den that can easily serve as a bedroom.
Upstairs, the oversized primary suite offers two generous walk‑in closets (6'X7' each) and a thoughtfully renovated spa‑inspired bath with separate soaking tub, large shower, and dual vanities.
The finished lower level is full of character, featuring built‑ins, a bar area, a spacious recreation room, a dual‑entry full bath, and an additional den or guest room.
With a newer roof and HVAC system, this home has been exceptionally well maintained and updated. The 2-car detached garage is so convenient for parking. The prime location places you just minutes from Grosvenor Metro, Georgetown Prep, the Strathmore Mansion and Music Center, and provides easy access to 495, 270, and abundant shopping and dining.
