About This Home

As of February 2021

Located just a few blocks from Westmoreland Circle and the DC Line, this charming home is surrounded by mature trees and landscaping ... peaceful and private! Original 1935 architectural elements give the home a vintage feel: slate roof, arched doorways, original wood floors, two wood burning fireplaces, exposed brick wall and wood stove in the sunroom. Main level living room, dining room, sunroom and kitchen are bright and sunny and flow nicely through to the backyard patio with in-ground swimming pool ... a great place for post-pandemic entertaining or a quiet morning on the pool deck. Upstairs finds a large primary bedroom with three closets and an en suite bath, two additional bedrooms and a full bath with vintage tile. Cozy finished basement includes family room, private home office, full bath and laundry. An attached garage provides space for one car, or additional storage. There is plenty of off-street parking on the paved, circular driveway which allows easy access to and from the home. This home is being sold as-is.
