About This Home

As of February 2022

This handsome, extremely well maintained, brick home features easy, luxurious, single-floor living and borders a quiet, mature, tree lined street of welcoming neighbors. Its double corner lot is beautifully landscaped with a thoughtfully chosen variety of perennial weigelia, azaleas, rhododendron, laurel, peony, barberry, and hydrangeas. Crepe myrtle, dogwood, hinoki cypress, royal purple smoke, fig, river birch, and pine trees add definition to the yard—quite simply, a gardener’s dream.
The hard-to-beat location is only 15 minutes from Reagan National Airport and the Kennedy Center. Just a short hop takes you to 66, the Dolly Madison Parkway, and Ballston’s Metro Station. Marymount College, the Washington Golf and Country Club, restaurants, shops, and banks are all within minutes of easy strolling.
Solidly constructed, this home has been lovingly kept, renovated, added on to, and updated again. It has hardwood flooring and ceramic tile throughout. Energy efficient and exceedingly comfortable radiant heat is supplied from a 100 gallon hot water tank, heated by a gas furnace.
In the main house, a large, open-plan, light-filled living-dining room has a gas fireplace and beautiful views of the garden. The dining room leads to a bonus room, perfect for a home office or TV room. The kitchen and bathrooms have been updated, with high end, floating vanities, light fixtures, hardware, and powerful exhaust/ventilation systems. The larger of the two spacious bedrooms has a full ensuite bathroom accessed through a paneled barn-style sliding door. The other bedroom is adjacent to a full bathroom with jacuzzi tub, perfect for soothing sore muscles.
The all-brick addition features a spacious master with vaulted ceiling and his-and-hers dressing areas with built-in drawers and separate closets . The large master shower, accessible from either side of the his-and-hers bathrooms, has been recently updated with high-end vanities and fixtures. A light-filled sitting room features a vented, gas fireplace and looks onto a gorgeous natural water feature, a roomy deck perfect for cookouts, and gardens, complete with a thornless rose arbor and swing.
This house has unbelievable storage with two, stand-up attics, both accessed via pull down stairs. The largest attic runs the entire length of the main house and the other is over the two-car garage.
Additional perks include the life-time warrantied Leaf Filer gutter system, freshly painted interior and exterior, a newly resurfaced epoxy garage floor, and a freshly stained deck. The heating and A/C systems, along with the gas fire places have just been serviced. A homeowners inspection was done by the current owners to ensure that this property is in the best shape since it was built.
