Here, you'll find exceedingly well-maintained real estate near Kenwood Country Club and Glen Echo Park. As you enter this five bedroom, split-level home, the foyer overlooks an expansive living room with brick fireplace and mantle, white paneled walls, shuttered windows, and built-in bookshelves. The formal dining room is adorned with crown molding, a chair rail, and glass shelving for special dinnerware. The kitchen has granite counters, a tiled backsplash, light oak cabinets, and space for an island. The heart of this house is the 23'x14' family room. A vaulted ceiling, stained glass half-moon window, abundant natural light, and brick floors create a bright, inviting space. Step outside to the flagstone patio with retaining wall, garden, and a retractable awning you'll be grateful for on summer afternoons. Approximately 1,500 feet of additional yard may be fenced if new owners so desire. French doors lead from the family room to the main-level owner's oasis with gas fireplace, two walk-in closets, access to the backyard, and a luxurious bathroom with double sinks, soaking tub, stall shower, and water closet. Upstairs are four bedrooms, two full baths, and an attic to store off-season items. The finished lower level provides access to a one-car garage and the patio. Enjoy a rec room, dry bar, updated half bath, laundry area, workshop, and a custom-built workspace with large desk, shelving, and brick fireplace. Don't miss the opportunity to live in this community with award-winning schools just 1.5 miles from the DC border.
