So much to love about this charming storybook Cape Cod! Thoughtfully updated and impeccably maintained, this home features a new roof (2026), oversized gutters (2026), new furnace (2026), replacement windows, and hardwood floors throughout. A welcoming covered front porch leads into the spacious living room, complete with a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The separate dining room opens to an expansive screened porch spanning the entire rear of the home—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the outdoors in every season. The bright, functional kitchen offers abundant workspace, a large picture window overlooking the backyard, and convenient side access. The main level includes a sun-filled bedroom and a beautifully renovated full bath. Upstairs, you’ll find an inviting open hallway with a reading nook and built-in bookshelves, a large cedar closet, two generously sized bedrooms, and another tastefully updated full bathroom. One of the upstairs bedrooms also features a spacious walk-in closet. The clean, unfinished walkout lower level provides exceptional storage, laundry space, and endless potential to create additional finished living space. Step outside to enjoy the large, level backyard from either the lower patio or the expansive screened porch. A private driveway offers off-street parking—an invaluable bonus! Located just one block from the neighborhood park featuring a playground, walking trails, open green space, and a popular farmers market, this home also offers unbeatable convenience. With easy access to Metro, bus lines, and downtown DC, you can enjoy a truly connected lifestyle—no car required, though you’ll be glad to have the private driveway when you do.
