Welcome to this stately and spacious Wardman-inspired solid brick home that is in the heart of the Crestwood neighborhood. It combines timeless architecture and elegantly proportioned living spaces. The home is among the largest in the neighborhood, with more than 3,700 square feet on its four levels, and a 5,652 square foot lot. With easy access to Rock Creek Park, the residence has been lovingly cared for by the same family for more than fifty years and is looking for a new owner to love it. Its welcoming front porch overlooks a beautiful block in Crestwood. On the sun-drenched first level that features solid oak flooring and 9-foot ceilings, is a large foyer ideal for greeting guests. From there you can enter a lovely living room with a handsome mantel fireplace, large dining room with bay windows, a rear sunroom, a powder room and an updated kitchen with pantry. Upstairs is a sunny primary bedroom/bath suite, plus three additional bedrooms and a hall bath. The top level provides an open floor plan ideal for lounging, exercise, or additional bedrooms. The lower level is a large recreation room and full bath. The deep rear yard is great for gardening and hosting barbeques and provides access to the detached two-car garage.
