n kitchen, gym space, and excellent interior and exterior storage - plus an additional 120 finished square feet in the adorable and very useful accessory building (studio/office). The hilltop siting affords incredible southern views over neighboring homes & into VA, tons of natural light through the many large & all double-pane windows & glass doors, desirable privacy, and drainage advantages.
And, if you prefer to skip the front stairs, it's no problem - you could choose the rear alley entry, which provides very convenient access with limited stairs, as well as private parking for up to 3 cars. The extra large, level, fully fenced-in yard, along with the huge and partially covered deck, offer a private and spacious retreat, perfect for playing, entertaining, gardening and grilling.

athroom (2022), on-demand hot water heater (2022), hardwood floor refinishing (2026), interior painting, fixtures & hardware (2026) and lead remediation (2022). (Prior to moving in, the sellers tested for lead in the paint, water and soil; all issues discovered were remediated.) Also, this home holds an interesting piece of history, having briefly
been the home to a Secretary of State, and includes an old connection to the White House switchboard. This is truly a home you'll fall in love with. Attend an open house or schedule a private showing to experience it first-hand!
