Tucked away from the street and surrounded by lush greenery, this private retreat offers the perfect blend of style, comfort, and contemporary living. The main level features a spacious open kitchen with a generous dining area, a large living room with gas fireplace, three bedrooms, and two fully updated baths—all complemented by hardwood floors and timeless Mid-Century warmth. Step out to a large deck and beautifully landscaped backyard—ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The versatile lower level includes a full in-law or nanny suite with its own bedroom, renovated bath, rec room with gas fireplace, and an additional flexible space perfect for a second bedroom, office, or home gym. Located just outside Glen Mar Park and a short stroll from the Capital Crescent Trail and C&O Canal, this home offers unrivaled access to nature and outdoor recreation. Enjoy the nearby vibrancy of the new Westbard Square—now entering Phase II—with Whole Foods, Tatte Bakery, boutiques, and wellness amenities just minutes away.All this, just minutes from downtown D.C. and Virginia—an extraordinary opportunity to own an iconic residence with both architectural pedigree and a lifestyle to match.
