This circa 1940 Beverly Hills charmer is quite deceiving. The two story addition adds fabulous living space, a gourmet kitchen and spa-like primary bedroom suite...at the same time retaining the original charm and character of the forties. Hardwood floors and high quality double pane replacement windows can be found throughout the main and upper levels. Custom plantation shutters provide complete privacy while still allowing natural light to stream throughout. A formal living room is anchored by a wood burning fireplace on one wall and a wall of built-ins under the expansive front window. Just off the living room, is a library/home office big enough for two..no need to go into the office anymore. The original staircase, at the back of the living room, guides you to the three bedrooms on the upper level. The grand primary suite, with a vaulted ceiling, boasts storage galore and its own private staircase. The primary bath offers two sinks, an oversized soaking tub and a recently remodeled separate shower. A spacious second bath services the other two bedrooms. A really cool "bonus" room, located just off one of the bedrooms, provides great play space, reading room or even a nursery. The primary bedroom staircase leads to the gorgeous, recently remodeled kitchen, breakfast room and fabulous and spacious, light filled family room. The breakfast nook, with built-in seating, is the perfect spot for homework, hobbies and everyday casual dining. Just off the kitchen is a huge deck making grilling with friends and family a breeze. A separate dining room and a powder room complete this level. The walk-out lower level is the ideal place for an au-pair, returning college students or frequent out of town guests. Offering a full bath, bedroom and second family room, it also has its own entrance. The driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles. There is plenty of play space and patio seating in the fully fenced rear yard as well. This perfect location is just minutes from DC, Reagan National Airport, the Pentagon and Old Town...making commuting a dream. Sought after Charles Barrett elementary and the well loved playground, the "pit" are both just blocks away.
