This well-loved gem has been updated and meticulously maintained while retaining many original details. Uniquely perched high on a hill, it presents like a tree-top oasis in the heart of Old Town! A brick staircase leads to a covered, private front porch that overlooks mature foliage and a unique view of one of Old Town’s most special blocks. The main level features a spacious living room and formal dining room with two built-in cabinets, hardwood floors, and a large coat closet. The updated kitchen showcases custom-made cabinets, a wood-burning fireplace, brick floors, and access to the garden; a laundry room and half bath are conveniently located on this level. The second floor offers 3 bedrooms including the primary with a second fireplace. A staircase leads to the fully finished attic with original hardwood floors, which presents additional bedroom or office space. A remarkable amount of storage is found in the unfinished basement. Enjoy al fresco dining on the rear brick patio that offers easy access to the alley. With windows on 3 sides, this light-filled, special home is move-in ready and truly a rare find! Located just steps from the Mt. Vernon Trail, the Potomac River, shops and restaurants on King Street, and easy access to National Airport, Metro, Amazon HQ2, and major commuter routes.
