SELLERS HAVE RATIFIED A CONTRACT AND CANCELLED THE OPEN HOUSE FOR SUNDAY. This 3 Br/2 Full Ba 1728sf end unit townhome is located in the charming and sought-after Virginia Village neighborhood of Old Town. Tucked away on a quiet side street, this property is in a fabulous location walking distance to shops and restaurants. Open floor concept is airy and inviting, and the wall of windows afforded by the end unit, floods the room with natural light. HW floors main level extend to the upper level. The remodeled kitchen is a chef’s dream featuring light cabinetry, SS appliances, and complementary granite countertops. The family/dining room features a gas fireplace as it's focal point and makes for a great gathering space for entertaining. A large deck off the main floor expands entertaining to the outdoors- perfect for grilling and alfresco dining! Upper level features 2 large size bedrooms, Elfa closet systems to maximize storage space, attic access for more storage, and a remodeled full bath with sky light. The lower level you will find a large family room (that can easily be made into a 3rd BR) with an additional wood burning fireplace, a full bath, laundry room and more storage space. The double French doors walk out to the enchanting private backyard with multiple gathering spaces, beautiful landscaping, 2 storage units, and a fully fenced in yard for privacy. A new french drainage system plus hardscaping add value to the outdoor living space. Expert renovations include a complete remodel of the lower level bathroom (2023), a remote-controlled gas burning fireplace in the living room (2022), a major kitchen and upper level bathroom remodel (2012), optimized bedroom closets/storage, a new roof, flashing, gutters, covers, and skylight glass (2015), as well as a new back patio system with French drainage, front and side hardscapes (2016). A new hot water heater was installed in 2023 and the high efficiency HVAC system was installed both inside and outside in 2017.Basement carpet was installed (2019) over the recently tiled flooring (2011) for a cozy feel. Close to commuter routes, just a block from N Washington/GW Parkway and Route 1, with the Braddock Metro a mere 0.7 miles away (15-minute walk) and DCA conveniently located 3.7 miles away (9-minute drive). The waterfront and Mt Vernon Trail, perfect for walking and biking, are 7 blocks away. Close to Amazon HQ2, Potomac Yard, and Del Ray, and walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants, and other amenities.
This is a gem of a house! This classic renovated 3 level 1940s end-unit rowhouse in the north part of Old Town offers a true cooks kitchen wide open to the living room w/ a wood burning fireplace, bar area & french doors that lead out to a generously sized deck for indoor/outdoor living at its best. The front, side & back yards with 3 tiers of professionally designed hardscape & slate walk-ways give the house a sophisticated & polished feel. Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms (currently 1 is being used as a walk-in closet but can be changed back). Additional closets were added to the master bedroom plus the attic space offers excellent storage. The bathroom was expanded during the renovation & is quite lovely. The lower level family room is expansive yet cozy w/ its fireplace. Beautiful 24 x 24 tile flooring lies beneath the carpeting that can easily be removed. Another full bath is downstairs as is the laundry & more storage. French doors open out to a substantial back & side patio with more tiered hardscape making for multiple seating areas. A set of stairs up to the main level deck supports a seamless flow between the house & the outdoors. Ideally located in the north part of Old Town just 1 block each to N Washington/GW Parkway and Route 1. The Braddock Metro is just . 7 miles (15 min walk) away & DCA is only 3.7 miles (9 min drive). Walking or biking is a joy with a few short blocks to the waterfront & Mt Vernon Trail.
