The main level flows effortlessly from room to room, providing both comfortable gathering spaces and quiet corners to enjoy on your own. The well-equipped kitchen is large enough to prepare meals together or enjoy casual, everyday dining in the sunny breakfast nook. South-facing French doors open from both the dining and living rooms to a private, landscaped patio and garden—an inviting setting for morning coffee, weeknight dinners, or weekend entertaining. The main level also includes a library/office and a powder room. Upstairs, three bright bedrooms include a serene primary suite with generous closets and an ensuite bath, plus two comfortable guest rooms that share a hall bath. Laundry is thoughtfully located on the bedroom level for added convenience. The recently renovated lower level offers exceptional flexibility with a spacious family room, a private bedroom and full bath perfect for guests, in-laws, or an au pair, and an oversized storage room with two cedar closets. Two dedicated off-street parking spaces sit just steps from the kitchen’s side entrance and a convenient outdoor storage shed—ideal for strollers, bikes, gardening tools, or gear for a busy, on-the-go lifestyle. Impeccably maintained and move-in ready, this home blends timeless design with thoughtful updates in one of Washington, DC’s most livable neighborhoods—just steps from Millie’s, Pizza Paradiso, Compass Coffee, Wagshal’s, Turtle Park, and within the Mann/Hardy/MacArthur school pyramid.
