This end-unit brick rowhome carries its classic 1900 Federal roots on the outside, and the inside tells an updated story. Inside, the main floor, the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together as one space on hardwood floors throughout. The large open kitchen has full size luxury appliances, ample counter space, and tons of storage, ready for any cooking adventure. A newly renovated full bathroom on this level means guests - or a housemate - never have to head upstairs. Upstairs, two enormous sun-lit bedrooms occupy the second floor, each with real room to spread out and large custom closets. The back bedroom is flooded with natural light through a run of skylights overhead that keeps it glowing well past midday. A second full bathroom with shower and a clawfoot tub serves both rooms. Behind the house, a small enclosed yard with a gorgeous mature tree does double duty as a garden and a place to sit outside without needing to go anywhere. This home is ideally located next to Safeway, Giant, the Mt. Vernon Square Metro, and Shaw's incredible restaurant corridor with bars and cafes all a short walk out the front door, and City Center and downtown just beyond that.
