Property Description
Located just one block from The Avenue, this charming 1920s Del Ray bungalow offers the character of a classic neighborhood home. The property already includes convenient rear parking, while an existing curb cut at the front offers the potential to create additional off-street parking. A quintessential new front porch welcomes you into a bright interior filled with natural light. The kitchen features white cabinetry, granite countertops, a professional-style range, and a breakfast bar that opens comfortably into the main living space. The home also includes four bedrooms, an updated bathroom, and a lower level providing laundry and valuable storage space. Outside, the expansive backyard offers plenty of room for dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing. With shops, restaurants, neighborhood favorites, and Metro access all nearby, the location delivers everything people love about Del Ray while remaining just minutes from Old Town. For anyone who cannot decide between living in Del Ray or being close to Old Town, this home asks: Why not both?
