Nestled on a quiet, cherry blossom lined cul-de-sac with a generous backyard, this beautiful property offers unique privacy and open space mere minutes away from schools, parks, shopping, Old Town, and DC. Read on for all of the details of this gorgeous home. Built in 2009 with over $130,000 in recent upgrades made by the current owner, your new home features 6 bedrooms (3 en-suite) and 4.5 bathrooms on 4 floors. Layout provides plenty of secluded work/play space during the week, while the open floor plan and outdoor space are perfect for entertaining.

On the main level, the formal living and dining rooms feature large bay windows with plantation shutters that lead to the open floor plan kitchen, breakfast nook and family room. The gourmet kitchen delights with a large center island, gas range, pantry, bar seating, beautiful solid wood cabinets, quartz counter tops and quartz backsplash. *Leave the cares of the day behind and step out to the amazing outdoor living space with a newly built 600 sq ft Trex deck specially braced for a hot tub, ample sitting and eating areas and a natural gas grill hookup. The spacious fenced in yard has plenty of room to kick the ball as well as a play area and fire pit. As you walk back into the light-filled family room you will be greeted by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace surrounded by built-in bookcases.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
