Description

Brimming with charm, this 1921 shake-shingle "cabin in the woods," expanded over time, is truly special. A small stream running through the front yard with a stone bridge accents a landscape of dogwoods, hollies, magnolias and more across the 13,000+ sf yard. A wooden porch leads into a timeless entry way and foyer (the original parlor), leading to a glorious family room. Two wood-burning fireplaces (one recently relined and recapped) showcase unique old-time charm, along with the spacious, eat-in...Brimming with charm, this 1921 shake-shingle "cabin in the woods," expanded over time, is truly special. A small stream running through the front yard with a stone bridge accents a landscape of dogwoods, hollies, magnolias and more across the 13,000+ sf yard. A wooden porch leads into a timeless entry way and foyer (the original parlor), leading to a glorious family room. Two wood-burning fireplaces (one recently relined and recapped) showcase unique old-time charm, along with the spacious, eat-in kitchen, ready for your updates. Dine in the rustic wood-paneled dining room or on the main-level screened porch, overlooking the rear stone patio with fire pit (perfect for intimate gatherings) and the lush back yard. (Yes, the hammock conveys!) Upstairs are four bedrooms, an office and a primary suite sitting room (plus a walk-in closet), as well as a sleeping porch, complete with built-in Murphy bed. A second-floor laundry room and a storage loft provide added convenience. This home is practically a stone's throw to the Mohican community swimming pool. For a $1200 transfer fee, buyers can avoid the $3000 membership fee and jump the years-long waiting list. Ideally located just off MacArthur Blvd, this home is a delightful walk to the C&O Canal, the Potomac River, Glen Echo Park and the friendly Irish Inn. Super-easy access to DC via MacArthur and the Beltway via the Clara Barton Pkwy. Public transportation serving the Friendship Heights metro station is a few blocks away on Massachusetts Ave. Several retail centers with grocery, restaurants and shops are just a few minutes’ drive, as well as three farmer's markets. This location cannot be beat! Easy to show via ShowingTime. House conveys in "as is" condition. RGS Title is the sellers' preferred settlement company.
