The home is enhanced with lovely gardens and a flagstone walkway, offering a gracious introduction to the main house, which features 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths arranged over three levels. The main level showcases a blend of hardwood and ceramic tile flooring, ceiling fans, and an abundance of natural light. The living room and dining room are complimented by built-ins, including custom cabinetry and a wine refrigerator. An ample-sized den/sunroom with a vaulted, beamed ceiling adds to the charm. The light-filled kitchen boasts granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a downdraft gas cooktop, updated appliances, and an extended countertop area with seating for two. For the chef in the family, there's a large pantry, open shelving, and both a large and a small bar sink. This opens up to a stunning patio and deck, surrounded by mature landscaping. The upper level features three bedrooms and two full baths, adorned with decorative tile and modern vanities. The dormered primary suite offers dual closets, providing plenty of space for all your garments. The primary bath is beautifully appointed, adding to the luxurious feel of the home. The lower level offers a full bath and flexible living space, featuring an ornamental fireplace with a woodstove, and radiant heated flooring, making it ideal for a playroom, home office, or family room. Additionally, the lower level includes a separate living area and a laundry room, which walks out to the rear of the home. The backyard is a gardener’s paradise, boasting a variety of daffodils, irises, roses, lilacs, peonies, mature azaleas, hydrangeas, a mature cherry tree, Arborvitae, and pink Crepe Myrtles. Meticulously maintained by its long-time owner, recent renovations include exterior house painting, a new roof on the east/west portals of the main house, and new windows throughout the second floor and dining room. From the original Memorial Bridge cobblestones that comprise the patio and rear pathways to the 2022 energy-efficient solar panels, this home is a perfect blend of old and new. It presents a timeless backdrop for modern living in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in town. The quiet location and bucolic garden setting belie the convenient access to D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Additionally, this home is adjacent to Friendship Heights, historical parks, and an array of top-rated public and private school systems. Carriage House Just perfect for guests, in-laws, or a tenant, there is a charming one-bedroom, 1.5-bath carriage house at the rear of the property, constructed in 2011.
