For the discerning buyer seeking a blend of convenience and serene surroundings, this home offers an ideal retreat. Nestled amidst a picturesque mature landscape, it enjoys the tranquility of a bucolic setting while remaining within walking distance to the heart of Kensington. Here, every amenity is easily accessible – from the Marc Train and public transportation to schools, restaurants, parks, and shopping destinations. The Marc train can take you to Harpers ferry as well as to Union station- then to NewYork or to Silver Spring! This property is also a 25 minute drive to downtown DC with option for driving there through Rock Creek National Park. Originally a quintessential Cape Cod, this residence was thoughtfully expanded fifteen years ago to include a spacious open kitchen, dining area, and a sunlit screen porch. The second floor was also enhanced with two new bathrooms and walk-in closets. Outside, the meticulously landscaped garden is a delight in every season, boasting fruit trees, a vegetable patch, colorful blooms, and inviting patio spaces. Equipped with an automatic watering system and a dedicated water meter, maintaining this oasis is both efficient and cost-effective. Meticulously maintained, the home showcases a host of recent upgrades, including a brand-new roof, newer windows, and a French drain installed in the basement. Gleaming hardwood floors and freshly painted walls further enhance the interior ambiance. The kitchen, perfect for entertaining, accommodates gatherings of all sizes and inspires culinary creativity. Warm up by the wood-burning fireplace in the living room during winter months, or retreat to the cozy gas stove in the basement, where a comfortable office space awaits for work or relaxation with views of the outdoors. Discover the allure of this exceptional property firsthand. Join us for an open house on Saturday, 03/30, from 1-4 PM, and prepare to fall in love with your new home.
