As of May 2025Located in the heart of Lyon Village, this sun-filled home, loaded with updates, is one you don’t want to miss.

Inside, this beautifully updated home you will find a renovated kitchen that still holds the charm of this home, all renovated baths, refinished hardwood flooring, chair rail moldings in the dining room, raised paneled/wainscoting moldings on the stairway walls, a gas fireplace in the living room, and a wonderful walk-up lower level with a recreation room and a renovated full bath. So many updates… there is not much the owner hasn’t done! Just two blocks from Clarendon Metro, walkability to many restaurants, public transportation, shops, and much more. Don't wait on this one!
