This charming townhome occupies a double lot on the esteemed Kentucky Avenue, featuring a lovely courtyard view and proximity to downtown and the Chevy Chase area. The property boasts many appealing features, including 10-foot ceilings. On the second floor, there are three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The first floor includes a primary bedroom with an office, which can be converted into an additional bedroom, and a Nantucket room with a view of the courtyard, offering custom shelving and woodwork. The kitchen is equipped with a cupola that provides various lighting options. Adjacent to the kitchen is a family room that has hosted gatherings of up to 60 people for a piano recital. The kitchen connects to a cozy living room that also overlooks the courtyard, which brings in plenty of natural light. You can step out into the courtyard to enjoy grilling or simply relaxing. This property has not been offered since 1974. It is truly a special place and offers so much potential and upside for the next lucky owner.
