REDUCED! This quality all-brick home has been renovated with care and consideration for its enduring charm and appeal. No HOA, no condo fees! Beautiful well-planned kitchen with extra storage! Fully finished and well designed walk-out basement with recreation room, full bath, and storage. Carefully designed additional closet space in the primary bedroom just improves the livability of this vintage charmer. The accessory buildings (one electrified) have been built with quality and an eye on convenience: bike or motorcycle storage? Garden sheds? Workshop? The choice is yours! 28 Garden Drive is a wonderfully charming family home in a close-in, friendly and sought-after neighborhood. 20 minutes to The Pentagon, minutes to Old Town and located in the newly built Douglas MacArthur Elementary: a solid value and a great price point! There is one off street parking space just behind the storage shed.
