What We Love

  • Privacy! There is a true country feel even though you are in the city.
  • Views! From every window there is natural beauty due to the established landscaping and in the fall and winter you can see the top of the Masonic Temple and the Ferris Wheel at National Harbor. The sunrises from the front of the house and sunsets from the back deck are beautiful.
  • The double lot allows for ample street parking.
  • There is quality and detail in both the original house and the addition.
  • Ample storage with a full attic over original house and addition, 2 walk in closets, 2 linen closets, 2 coat closets (one cedar lined), custom shelving in clothes closets, full basement under original house, partial crawl space under additions.
  • The secrets out- Saint Stephens Saint Agnes School playground is open to the neighborhood during non school hours and on weekends and BOTH playgrounds on the lower school campus have been completely renovated. They are amazing and only a short walk down the street!
  • Renovated the kitchen as well as added a large family room addition, 2.5 baths, master bedroom and roof dormers in 2004.
  • Replaced original windows in 2008.
  • New gas boiler and water heater in 2014.
  • Interior painted in 2015.
