Nestled directly against the scenic expanse of Rock Creek Park, this expanded Cape Cod offers a rare blend of tranquil nature and sophisticated modern living. This home features a stunning wall of windows that floods the living space with natural light and scenic woodland views. The updated interior boasts a gourmet kitchen with a dual-oven gas stove and reverse osmosis water filter, a renovated bath with cozy heated floors, and modern upgrades like recessed lighting and a tankless water heater, plus the added versatility of a fully equipped lower-level apartment. Stepping outside, the private backyard is a true resort-style oasis, offering direct trail access from the back gate, two levels of oversized decks, a stone patio with a brick fire pit, a hot tub, and a private sauna for the ultimate park-side retreat.
