A full bathroom is available, transforming the space into a great guest retreat option, too. Ample storage can be found throughout the home — including in the basement, closets, and the attached two-car garage. *Additional updates include a new roof (2020), updated lighting, and fresh paint throughout. With its combination of classic features and modern comfort, this home is truly move-in ready. *Located close to major commuter routes, Reagan National Airport, Old Town, the Pentagon, and everyday conveniences, this address offers easy access to everything the region has to offer.
