10817 Madison St, Kensington, MD 20895

10817 Madison Street is a lovingly maintained classic Cape with easy access to everything that the charming Town of Kensington, Maryland has to offer. From the hardwood floors to the wood-burning fireplace to the claw-foot tub, this home is full of character. The full bath on the main level features original tile and a custom stained-glass window. Among the many storage solutions throughout the home (there are even closets in the bathrooms!) are built-in dressers and shelving. At the same time, the home is smartly updated with modern amenities like granite countertops, new stainless appliances, and additional built-in closets with organizers. Much of the lighting in the home has been stylishly upgraded including ceiling fans in all three bedrooms. When asked what their favorite things about their home were, the family selling the home couldn't stop adding to their list. Among the many things they noted was the screened-in porch where they frequently welcomed guests, gathered for family dinners, or simply enjoyed peaceful moments together. They also loved that the house is full of natural light no matter the time of day - the kitchen gets the morning sun and the living room and front den are lively and bright in the afternoons. And they really enjoyed that they could host family and friends in the basement living space where the murphy bed, full bath, and separate entrance made accommodating visitors easy. This beautiful home features a number of versatile spaces that allow it to flow and work in whatever way is desired. The upstairs closet could be just that - an extraordinary closet space with laundry as it's currently configured, but it's also perfectly suited for a cozy home office or a playroom. Likewise, the front den offers the option of a wonderful dining room, and the room off the back of the kitchen can serve as an eat-in, office, or play space. Each of these areas of the home provides tons of potential options.Kensington Maryland offers a small-town feel with easy access to Washington, DC.
