5724 Governors Pond Cir

With its classic design and elegant trimmings, this three-level, three-bedroom, three-plus-bath home is move-in ready with plenty of living and working space for everyone. On the main level, the inviting living room is bathed in daylight from the large, full-length front windows topped with arched clerestories. Hardwood floors flow beautifully through the welcoming dining room and well-appointed eat-in kitchen, which has both a seated breakfast bar and room for the versatile kitchen table that does double duty as a homework station. Equipped for the home chef, the kitchen offers a six-burner gas stove, granite counters and clean white cabinetry. Recent upgrades include high-end stainless steel GE Profile appliances: double oven, French-door bottom-freezer refrigerator and dishwasher. Beyond the kitchen is a light-filled family room with a full wall of built-ins and another wall of large full-length windows, anchored by a gas fireplace to keep things warm and wonderful. Step out to the brick patio from here, surrounded by grass and backing to mature evergreens. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is an oasis of comfort. An anteroom offers a sitting area with oversized built-ins that feature plenty of drawer and storage space. A soaker tub, separate shower and double sinks make up the large primary bath; and in the bedroom area, a vaulted ceiling and facing corner windows add to the grandeur of this retreat. Two other bedrooms are on this level, with another full bath to share. Adding to the comfort and convenience, the laundry room is tucked off the hallway up here, with a recently updated washer and dryer. Two floors down, the fully finished basement offers more room to work and play, with a large recreation room with built-in shelving, and a separate reading/working/hobby area with another gas fireplace. The large two-car garage is accessed here, with more built-ins and storage. Additional recent upgrades to this home include a furnace, air-conditioning unit and a new roof. Within a mile of Huntington Metro (a 22-minute walk), this home is located in the pleasant neighborhood of Governors Grove with its scenic pond and gazebo, tennis courts, kiddie playground, walking paths, dog park, and more. The shops and restaurants of charming Old Town and eclectic Del Ray are nearby, as well as all the attractions and amenities of Washington, DC.
