Stunning Colonial on a quiet and peaceful tree lined street in the heart of the Springfield subdivision. Springfield is a friendly neighborhood with well manicured lawns and a strong sense of community. It sits in the sweet spot of commutes to downtown Washington DC and work points in Virginia and Maryland off nearby 495 and 270. The Ride on Bus and Metro bus are a short walk away and the metro is about 2 miles. This beautiful home was built by Meade Bell and reimagined and expanded by his son, the renowned Frank Bell. With it's classically executed exterior and charm infused interior, it offers nearly 6000 square feet of space. Upon entering the large foyer, you will notice beautiful millwork throughout. The main level features a sprawling open kitchen/family room/breakfast room with nine foot ceilings and a fireplace. French doors take you from this space to a large flat fully fenced grassy yard with flagstone patio and a covered eating portico. Also on this level is a grand entertaining sized dining room and an elegant living room with fireplace. On the upper level, there are 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths and a laundry room, accessed by wide and gracious halls. In the Primary bedroom there is a third fireplace and a spa like bath with a soaking tub, separate shower and double vanity. The lower level has three very large rooms - a home office, a game room and a recreation or media room, as well as ample storage in a separate storage room and utility room. Other amenities include a garage, a new roof, a multi zoned HVAC, and built-in speakers in the ceilings of the kitchen/family room, dining room, and primary bedroom. This property is served by the highly rated school district of Woodacres/Pyle/Whitman. Both the Woodacres Elementary school and playground, and the Little Flower School are a very short walk away. You can also walk to Whole Foods, Kenwood CC and the new Westbard square with its restaurants and shops. This is a rare find in an amazing location!
