Property Description

A rare opportunity to own a classic brick single-family home in Northwest DC, offering the privacy, outdoor space, and off-street parking that are increasingly hard to find—along with exciting potential to expand both to the rear and upward as your needs evolve. A welcoming front porch introduces the home and opens to a comfortable living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The adjoining dining room flows into a crisp white kitchen, creating an inviting main level for everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath, while the walk-out lower level adds valuable flexibility with a third bedroom, second full bath, and spacious laundry/storage/utility room. The outdoor space is another standout feature. A rear patio and fenced yard provide room for dining, gardening, pets, play, or simply relaxing outside. For buyers looking toward the future, the property also presents an exceptional opportunity to expand the existing home to the rear and potentially add an additional level—creating the ability to significantly increase the living space while retaining the benefits of single-family ownership. And in a neighborhood where parking is at a premium, two-car off-street parking is an especially valuable bonus. All of this just moments from the Red Line Metro and the shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences of Friendship Heights. Whether enjoyed as it is today or expanded over time, this is a compelling opportunity to own a single-family home with outdoor space, parking, and future potential in one of Northwest DC’s most convenient locations.
