Outstanding colonial on a beautiful road on the Spring Hill side of ever-popular Westmoreland Hills. The location is bucolic and serene. The gracious house features generous room sizes, outstanding light from many floor-to-ceiling windows, 6 bedrooms (or 5 with a family/rec room), 3.5 baths and a one car garage accessed from an attractive circular driveway. A pretty patio at the rear is accessed from the main level hallway, kitchen, and primary bedroom. The house shines. But it also awaits a new owner's desire to update and make it their own. Located a short distance friom the fabulous Westmoreland Hills Park, this property is also situated on the less traveled Massachusetts Avenue corridor and only about 1/4 mile from the District line. Seller may accept or reject any offer.
