OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED. Picture Perfect inside and out! This charming 1936 Cape Cod, with 1,998 square feet and a fabulous location, was updated, renovated and transformed this year at a cost of over $150,000 including a new roof with architectural shingles and new siding with extra insulation. The grounds were professionally landscaped front and back; and a new brick-lined walkway, front entrance, and a brick-lined patio with side stairs were all added. A new fence finished the existing one to fully enclose the level rear yard. Even the “Old Shed” received a facelift, turning it into “The Room Outback” with a new roof & siding, a drywall ceiling with insulation, skylights and electricity. It now has so many possibilities—man cave, exercise room, playhouse, even a home office! Before addressing the close-to-everything location, let’s take a look inside this wonderful home. First you'll notice the stunning hardwood floors which cover both levels; and on your left, the dining area which opens to a dazzling new kitchen. Quartz countertops, big gorgeous island, stainless steel appliances, white cabinets, and recess lighting; and can you imagine--everything is new! On the right, as you walk in, is a large family room made warm and cozy by a wood-burning brick fireplace with a mantel and new marble hearth. This room flows into the light-filled den, office or a playroom. The mudroom with the laundry completes this level and leads to the large patio, ideal for barbecues and lazy sun-filled afternoons. Up to the second level, you’ll find the primary suite and its recently renovated bath, as well as the second and third bedrooms, which are surprisingly spacious and share an updated full bath. The second bedroom has built-in shelving covering an entire wall—ideal for a bedroom but also ready-made for an office. While the lower level is unfinished it has a new workshop, utility sink, spare refrigerator and fabulous storage space. Also new this year: ultra high-efficiency furnace, (air conditioner, only a few years old), electrical panel, all electrical outlets and switches, lighting fixtures & fans and the entire house has been freshly painted. Close to charming Del Ray and the award winning restaurants of Old Town; walkable to two metros, Braddock (.8 mi) and King(1.0 mi); only blocks to elementary and middle schools, and easy access to Amazon HQ2, DC, and Reagan Airport. Perfect in all ways—come see for yourself.
