What type of dwelling do I want to buy?

To start a home search, beginning with a certain type can narrow results. For example, selecting  a townhome moves towards different features than a garden style condominium, such as a townhomes potential for cozy levels and easier to maintain grounds than that of a Belle Haven property. On a different end of the spectrum is a luxury high rise which can boast scenic views of the surrounding landscapes. Preferences can play a big role in finding a home that correctly aligns with the occupants lifestyle, such as that of a metro commuting corporate employee seeking a moderate Montebello dwelling versus that of a distant Springfield contracting handyman whom might prefer something with access to materials such as Lowe's, and Home Depot and a quieter location like that of Newington. Additionally, a type selection can make it easier to determine a neighborhood location. Some might prefer a townhome near a shopping center while others may weigh water accessibility as more desirable, such as a Potowmac Crossing condominium. Furthermore, I have seen that once the move has occurred, getting acquainted can be an endearing process of increasing familiarity with a region. Some might love to settle into a Bucknell Cape-Cod, due to the detached ruggedness and the suburban appeal, while others might prefer the shopper friendly location of a Kingstowne townhome with easy entrance to 495.

Welcome home to Bucknell Manor. This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom, expanded Cape sits on a gorgeous spacious lot with blooming Crepe Myrtle, Apple, and Dogwood trees. The expanded, eat-in kitchen was extended by 8 feet and the kitchen appliances were upgraded in 2021. The HWH (2018) and HVAC (2019) are fairly new and the roof was recently replaced. A large covered back porch and a fully fenced backyard make outdoor entertaining fun and easy. There is ample storage in the attic space above the added carport and room for multiple cars in the expanded driveway. Conveniently located just south of Old Town, across the street from Mt. Vernon District Park (walking trail), less than a mile from the all-new Mt. Vernon Rec Center (set to open in 2025), and the Mt. Vernon trail along the Potomac River, with easy access to shopping and commuter routes. Bring your vision and make this charming home your own. [Bucknell Manor - $595,000]
