Classic 1940’s end unit row home with lovely updates, private patio, 2 1/2 blocks to metro, parking for two, walkable to everything Old Town has to offer. Hard to ask for more, but read on…. This charming 3 bedroom, 2 bath home features hardwoods on the main and upper levels, and travertine/stone flooring in the finished lower level. The main level open plan makes for easy living. Enter to a foyer that leads to the bright living room. Through a wide arched opening, the dining room has plenty of space for a table, and the kitchen peninsula accommodates seating for 3-4. Stainless appliances, granite counters and wood cabinetry complement the timeless style of the home, and a door leads to the back patio. All three of the bedrooms on the upper level have recessed lighting, and dual windows in two of them make the spaces light and cheery. One bedroom has been outfitted as a walk-in closet/dressing room; keep the custom Elfa closet system or easily revert it back to a bedroom. The upper level bath has been tastefully updated, and features a tub shower with sparkling white tile tub surround. The spacious lower level rec room is finished with recessed lights and travertine tile flooring. A nicely appointed second bath with tub shower has a large storage/linen closet with shelving. Outside, the deep front yard has been professionally landscaped and the walkway leads to a portico at the front door. A gate to the left of the house provides access to the side and back yards, which are fully fenced for privacy. Enjoy the lovely flagstone patio and stash away all your outdoor “stuff” in the large shed. The back gate leads to the paved parking pad – space for two cars with room to spare. Don’t miss the terrific features of this home in North Old Town!
