About This Home
Welcome to this rarely available semi-detached brick home, ideally situated at the end of a quiet dead-end street and backing onto the Four Mile Run woodlands. Offering exceptional privacy, scenic wooded views, and a peaceful natural setting—all with no monthly HOA or condominium fees—this thoughtfully maintained home is a wonderful blend of comfort, character, and convenience. Step inside to a spacious living room and adjoining dining area, where gleaming hardwood floors and abundant windows showcase tranquil woodland views. The updated eat-in kitchen features 36-inch cabinetry, newer stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, and generous table space. A conveniently located powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms feature hardwood floors and fresh paint, along with an updated full bathroom. A pull-down attic provides an impressive amount of additional storage—an uncommon and valuable bonus. Lovingly maintained and solidly built with brick and masonry construction, the home has been thoughtfully updated over the years, with many of the big-ticket items already completed. The fully fenced backyard is a private retreat, with a spacious patio perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the peaceful wooded backdrop. A charming rear porch includes a large, electrically equipped storage closet that offers convenient space for outdoor gear and cookout essentials, with potential for future expansion. A detached storage shed provides additional room for tools, bikes, and outdoor equipment. The location is equally compelling. Just minutes from the shops, restaurants, and entertainment of Shirlington Village, with easy access to Columbia Pike and Bailey’s Crossroads, this home is also close to Barcroft Recreation Center, the W&OD Trail, Four Mile Run Trail, neighborhood parks, and miles of walking and biking paths. Commuters will appreciate convenient access to public transportation, I-395, the Pentagon, National Landing, Amazon HQ2, Reagan National Airport, and Washington, D.C. Private yet connected, surrounded by nature yet close to everything—this is a special opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds.
