About This Home
Timeless Charm Meets Modern Comfort in the Heart of Kenmore! Step back in time with this classic 1930s Cape Cod, nestled in the original “Kenmore Division” just below the University of Mary Washington—where tree-lined streets and a grassy median along Franklin set the scene for true storybook living.
This home is neat as a pin and filled with warmth and character from the moment you step inside. The inviting entry welcomes you with an open stairwell, gleaming hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace with a handsome mantel in the living room. The formal dining room with wainscoting adds an elegant touch, perfect for gatherings both big and small.
The sunlit kitchen blends vintage charm with modern updates, featuring open cabinetry, a large pantry, and an adjoining, cozy breakfast nook—an ideal spot for morning coffee or catching up with friends. You’ll also love the side, sun porch, the perfect retreat for reading, relaxing, or simply soaking in the sunshine.
Upstairs, a charming reading or desk nook awaits at the top of the stairs, along with three spacious bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level offers a large, finished bonus room, plus ample storage and laundry space that’s partially finished and ready for your creative touch.
Outside, the backyard is just the right size for entertaining, gardening, or playtime. There is also a shared driveway and garage, complete with an electric car charging plug for added convenience. The home’s Buckingham slate roof—a hallmark of quality and craftsmanship—was recently inspected and refreshed, ensuring it’s ready for years to come.
Come experience the character, warmth, and location that make this Kenmore area gem that's easily walkable to downtown truly special.
