This delightful home in Kensington was thoughtfully redesigned and renovated in 2015. Every room features huge windows with leafy views. Home chefs will adore the open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a large prep island with a breakfast bar, and a classic subway tile backsplash. The large breakfast nook is surrounded by windows on three sides, bringing the outdoors in, while the formal dining room awaits Thanksgiving dinner. A bedroom and full bath on the main floor is ideal for aging in place or visiting relatives, and each spa bath has been beautifully renovated. At the end of a long day, retreat to the primary bedroom with a walk-in closet with custom system, a linen closet for extra storage, and en suite bath. With heated floors, the finished lower level includes a large family room, a bedroom or home office, a play area, plus laundry work room. Invite friends for an outdoor BBQ on the flagstone patio or relax on the wooden deck with cocktails. The large, fenced backyard is perfect for everything from a playset to a veggie garden, and a shed stores your outdoor equipment. Two cars fit in the driveway in tandem, which boasts a Tesla charger for your EV. You can also hop on the metro or MARC trains, less than a mile away. The gem of this community is the neighborhood community center with a swimming pool, sand volleyball court, and playground.
