For the first time in 48 years, this meticulously kept Mid-century Modern home designed by Charles Goodman is available for a new owner. A healthy lawn and generous driveway lead to a covered porch. The porch flagstones extend into the spacious foyer with its large coat closet. The beautiful floating staircase invites you to the main living area of the house. But wait, there's more to explore on this walk-out ground floor, including a light-filled family room with a wood stove; floor to ceiling windows and a sliding door to the front garden; two bedrooms and one full bath; and a large laundry room/utility room/storage room. This level is ideal for working from home, movie night or turning the two bedrooms into a one bedroom and a kitchen for an in-law suite. The possibilities are endless. Take the iconic modernist staircase up to the living room with its wood-burning fireplace, wall to wall windows with tree views and abundant natural light; and a dining area that’s open to the renovated kitchen. A screened-in sunroom with high ceilings was designed by Joseph A. Wilkes, a former neighbor and a fellow of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and partner in Wilkes and Faulkner, a firm specializing in the design of contemporary houses. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms on this level. One of the smaller bedrooms has a laundry chute in the closet! The hallway bathroom was renovated. Both bathrooms have skylights. The ensuite bathroom in the main bedroom can be expanded if you like. This home has energy efficient windows, sliding doors and an updated roof, newer HVAC system and hot water heater. Outside there is enviable landscaping and a custom built shed with even more storage. The total living space is 2442 SQFT plus 135 SQFT of screened-in porch. The neighborhood consists of 76 Mid-century Modern houses often called "the glass houses". It has just three cherry tree-lined streets and no drive-through traffic! It has been featured in the Washington Post and Washington City Paper several times because of it’s beauty and unique qualities. Walk to Rock Creek Park. Drive short distances to the Red Line Metro stops at Wheaton and Grosvenor. Catch a bus on Connecticut Avenue and step aboard the MARC Train at the Old Town Kensington Station. Close to NIH, Walter Reed, Pike and Rose, I495 and 270 this location is ideal. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own and enjoy a move-in ready home in this beautiful community!
