Property Description

Open Sunday 2-4!. This charming 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home was thoughtfully and extensively renovated by its owner, a highly regarded architect, while preserving the character and craftsmanship of its 1927 origins. Offering approximately 2,400 square feet across three finished levels, the home combines classic architecture with modern living and features a welcoming 22’ x 8’ front porch, rear patio, beautifully landscaped yard, and detached two-car garage. Throughout the renovation, original details—including beautiful wood floors and the home’s distinctive architectural character—were carefully preserved and enhanced. The main level features a newly renovated kitchen with a large island opening to a spacious dining area, a family room or main level office overlooking the garden and a living room with decorative brick fireplace.  The upper level offers a primary bedroom with a new ensuite bath, two additional bedrooms, and a renovated full bath. The fully finished lower level provides a 4th bedroom/secondary family room, full bath, and office. A new wall and door (not pictured) in between these two rooms allow the 4th bedroom to be privately sectioned off from the remainder of the level. The staircase connecting the lower level to the main floor also provides a separate exterior entrance. The beautifully landscaped and fully fenced backyard is designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment, with a lovely patio offering generous space for separate seating and dining areas. Multiple perennial garden beds with stone borders surround a large, level lawn, while a stone pathway leads to the detached two-car garage.  Ideally located just minutes from the vibrant Walter Reed development and its growing collection of restaurants, stores (including Whole Foods) and services, this home is tucked into a leafy residential neighborhood with sidewalks and mature landscaping. With nearby playgrounds, local markets, dining, and all that Brightwood, Takoma Park and The Parks at Walter Reed have to offer, this home delivers the perfect blend of historic charm, modern design, and neighborhood living.
