This home is so close to modern convenience and so close to ways to get into and away from DC, yet it is tucked into a rural niche of a quaint neighborhood in Falls Church. With a nature path to enjoy on your way to the neighborhood park and playground, the sound of birds music to your ears, once you arrive you will feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle. Built in 1950, there have been only 2 owners of this cozy Cape Cod! It is waiting for the next owners to come in and make it their own. The beautiful hardwood floors and wood stove set the stage for the main floor. The eat-in kitchen harkens back to simpler days, with the back door letting the sun stream in. There are 2 bedrooms and the bath on the main level, upstairs is the third bedroom and a large bonus area. What will that area be used for next? And the carport and built-in shed enhance the quarter acre lot. This is a great starter home, a great "downsizer" (think main level primary bedroom) or a great investment property. Being sold as-is, it is a book that is looking for the author of its next chapter. While it is in the flood zone and does require flood insurance, the policy is currently only $1,022.00 per year. And the home is priced below the Seller's pre-market appraisal!
