Enter the front door having passed thorugh a front garden filled with various native plants and flowers. You'll find a gracious foyer and powder room off the entry. Three beds Two Baths upstairs plus a large room (with full bath) in the lower level with outside separate entrance could be used as a fourth bedroom and is a lovely spot for guests. The lower level also has lots of storage and a laundry room. Off street parking and a roomy one car attached garage add to the convenience. The kitchen features granite counters and stainless appliances and has an exit door to the side/back yard. A formal dining room looks out onto the back patio. The living room features a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows, and you will enjoy the sunroom leading to the back yard for your morning coffee/tea. The totally-fenced back yard has an expansive flagstone patio and brick/flagstone steps leading up to a landscaped back yard. Close to gourmet restaurants all along MacArthur Boulevard. You will love nearby parks such as Battery Kemble and Foxhall playground (just down the street!) The great commute to Georgetown or downtown makes the package complete.
