Welcome to your charming haven in Old Town—where historic elegance meets modern comfort. Tucked behind a stately brick wall with a shaded brick walkway to the front door, this beautifully reimagined townhome presents an inviting blend of style and practicality. Bright, Open Layout: Rich hardwood floors stretch across the main level, complemented by crown molding and a beautifully restored wood-burning fireplace. French doors—equipped with crisp white plantation shutters—open onto a secluded, stone-paved private patio, which provides direct access to three dedicated parking spaces and a secure bike storage room. Chef’s Kitchen Upgrade (2021): Fully remodeled with no expense spared—luxury appliances, an open-plan design that removes all kitchen walls, and seamless hardwood flooring throughout combine to create a culinary haven drenched in light and ready for entertaining. Second-Floor Owner’s Retreat: A full level dedicated to the owner’s suite features a stunning white marble bathroom and generous closet space, offering tranquility and elegance. Third-Floor Versatility: With abundant natural light, newly installed cedar wood floors, a private bath, and a washer/dryer, this level shines as a guest suite, home office, or creative studio. Ample Storage & Comfort: Additional convenience is provided by an attic-accessed extra air conditioning unit and ample storage—including attic and crawl spaces, along with two community storage lockers. Prime Location: Just steps from Old Town’s restaurants, boutiques, parks, and the scenic Potomac River—this is the ideal home for dog lovers or anyone seeking space without compromising lifestyle. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Historic charm, modern upgrades, and unmatched convenience all in one. This gem won’t last long.
