Property Description

What a find in Riggs Park! This lovely, well-maintained home has the perks of being tucked away on a serene street, yet just a few blocks away from the retail that surrounds Ft Totten Metro. Gleaming hardwood floors greet you and are bathed in natural light from the charming bay window. This home features 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, Central A/C and a brand new roof. A spacious rear addition allows a generous bedroom with an ensuite half bath on the main level, a rare and highly desired feature. The large rear yard is perfect for gatherings and includes a 2-car parking pad.
