About This Home
Welcome to this beautifully expanded and fully renovated 3BR/3.5BA colonial in a prime location just steps from Friendship Heights Metro, dining, and shopping—including the upcoming Trader Joe’s (Summer 2025)! Originally built in 1941, this home seamlessly blends timeless charm with modern upgrades and thoughtful additions.
Step inside to find gleaming hardwood floors throughout the main and upper levels, a bright living room with a gas fireplace and stacked stone surround, and a spacious open-concept kitchen/dining area featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double wall ovens, and a central island with cooktop and hood. French doors lead to a large deck and custom pergola—perfect for entertaining.
The home boasts two generous bedroom suites, including a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like bath offering heated floors, double vanity, soaking/jacuzzi/cold plunge tub, and a walk-in closet with custom organizers. The reimagined former primary now serves as a spacious guest suite with an updated full bath and added linen storage. A separate washer and dryer service these two bedrooms.
Downstairs, the fully finished walkout basement includes a private nanny/in-law suite with kitchenette, updated full bath, and separate laundry, perfect for Airbnb or long term rental. Recent upgrades include a new water heater, new electrical panel, and dedicated HVAC zones for comfort on all levels.
Enjoy the professionally landscaped front yard, off-street parking with Level 2 EV charger, stone walkway, and energy-saving solar panels.
