Description
Specially constructed in 1920, this charming home exudes personality, character and is within walking distance to shops, restaurants and a bakery. This delightful Craftsman Bungalow offers three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. Featured on the Smithsonian Sears Home Tour for many years, it is located in the Discovery- Williamsburg-Yorktown school pyramid. Just imagine 9-foot ceilings with original crown molding, leaded glass doors enhancing built-in bookcases, and French doors connecting the living room, kitchen, and primary bedroom to a deck and two porches. This little gem is adorned with original hardware and period lighting fixtures, along with cedar-lined window seats and mostly original hardwood floors. Runs to Costco and Home Depot trips are welcome here as the storage is unbelievable for a home built over a hundred years ago. Don't forget to check out the covered parking that is not only well constructed but perfectly designed to match this style of home. Start your day with coffee while facing the morning light to the east on the parch with loads of natural light and wind down in the afternoon with stunning sunsets. Commuting is a breeze with a bus stop that has fast access (about ten minutes) to the Ballston Metro and a 30 minute drive to D.C.
