Property Description
PRICE REDUCED! OPEN HOUSE SAT, 9/13, 2-4P. Welcome to this charming all-brick single-family home with a slate roof that offers the perfect blend of comfort, function, and style. Nestled in the quiet, friendly neighborhood of Michigan Park on a tree-lined street, this 3-bedroom, 3 full bath gem is a canvas ready for your personal design strokes. It starts out with a quaint front porch, and a large foyer that welcomes you in to allow you plenty of room to unload and decompress on returning home. The main floor features hardwood floors, and what is currently a formal living room and formal dining room. Open concept anyone? The kitchen is large, and perfect for gathering around the cook with 2 skylights to illuminate the cuisine. And what a chef's kitchen you could dream up! A full bath and the laundry are conveniently also on this main level. The upper level has 3 bedrooms and a full bath. The basement is large with another full bath, walkout stairs, and a room perfect for a kitchenette with a sink and an existing gas line. There are other nice vintage touches that remain like a few wood-framed windows, a central vacuum system, a whole-house intercom and an attic fan. You of course decide which character traits stay, and where you want to make your personal mark. The spacious yard is perfect for summer barbecues, a garden oasis, or play area, and there's room to add a parking pad. Brookland metro station is just over a mile and you're close to major thoroughfares for getting through and out of the city. Estate sale. This home combines peaceful living with big potential-whether you're a growing family, or someone looking for space to spread out and create.
