1126 Portner Rd

1126 Portner Road is just 2 blocks from one of Old Town's main thoroughfares, but feels like home in a tranquil neighborhood. Less than 1 mile to Braddock Metro Station - great for commuting to DC - and within walking distance to Old Town restaurants like Oak Steakhouse and Rustico, or Tropical Smoothie and Haute Dogs & Fries for a more casual bite to eat. Harris Teeter and Trader Joe's are 8 minute and 11 minute walks, respectively - easily grocery shop after work or stop in for a quick trip. Access to Route 1 and the GW Parkway is one block away, whether you're commuting or exploring new areas. The Mount Vernon bike path runs along the Potomac, 2 blocks from your front door, for early morning runs or leisurely Saturday afternoon bike rides. Up the brick stairs, step onto the inviting front porch, a great space for evening get-togethers and holiday decorations. The structured landscaping in the front yard is ideal for tenants who prefer less yard maintenance. The main level includes spacious living and dining areas, with beautiful hardwood floors, chair rail, and large windows on either end to allow eastern exposure in the morning and create ambiance in the evening. The kitchen is just off the dining room, an open peninsula counter providing a functional layout. Stainless steel appliances and a convenient hanging storage rack overhead make the most of the space. Access to both the lower level and back yard are through the kitchen. The back door opens to a secluded elevated patio with a pergola, big enough for a small table and chairs to enjoy your morning coffee or tea. The fully fenced, brick patio below is lined with flower beds, available to add your personal touch to the garden. The upper level consists of both bedrooms and a full bath, hardwood flooring throughout. The primary bedroom has two closets for extra storage and both bedrooms have ceiling fans for additional air circulation. The recreation room on the lower level is the perfect space for a family room or game room. The wood burning fireplace in the corner creates a cozy space, while the extensive built-in shelving provides organization for your favorite games, crafts, and memories. Off the rec. room is the storage and laundry area, with full size washer and dryer, and a wall of additional shelving, plus a stand-alone freezer for overflow. There is access to the backyard via walkout stairs past the laundry area and the full lower level bathroom. Parking is abundant on the street right out front. Tenant pays for all utilities except trash removal.
