Taken off the market temporarily for appealing renovations to the five bedrooms, bedroom hallway, the entryway and the downstairs den - this charming property is back on the market! Renovations include: the removal of window treatments and wallpaper from the bedrooms, hallways, entryway and downstairs den. Painting all 5 bedrooms, the bedroom hallway, the entryway and the downstairs den - white. Replacing light fixtures in the front entry. Nestled in a tranquil neighborhood with friendly and engaging neighbors, this house is just minutes to Richmond Highway and shopping. It also has quick and easy access to the major commuter routes - Sherwood Hall Lane, Fort Hunt Road, and the GW Parkway. The tax record shows this as a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath house. It accounts for the half bath in the lower level, but ignores the 5th bedroom in the lower level. So truly, this is a 5 Bedroom, 2.5 Bathroom house. This charming split level home captures the eye from the street both day and night. During the daylight hours, the hardscape, landscaping, lawn, brick driveway and front walk offers awesome curb appeal. At night, the brick driveway and front walk are lit by in-ground lighting that draws you to the house. The 33 X 11 carport on the left side has an entrance that leads directly to the kitchen. At the end of the carport is a locked storage area that measures 11 X 11. The carport ceiling also offers drop-down stairway access to the attic. Lovingly re-imagined and renovated in 2007-08, the footprint of the house was expanded adding two extra rooms of living space. The prepared floor plans of each level show a total square footage of 2,627 square feet of living space (173 sq ft of utility and laundry are not included as part of the living space square footage - if added the total square footage is 2800 sq ft). The kitchen and upper level bathrooms were renovated at that time. Similarly, the roof, dual HVAC, and the outdoor hardscape was also re-done. Perfect for entertaining, this home offers 5 living areas apart from the 5 bedrooms. In 2007, the dining room was expanded, and the game room with a bay window, and den with a cathedral ceiling and ceiling fan were added. The "eat-in" kitchen offers premium cabinetry and loads of storage. The black granite countertop and black cooktop are brightened by the under cabinet lighting. The double oven, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher and double kitchen sink are all stainless steel with name brand appliances. A 19 foot long formal dining room off the kitchen may be re-imagined. That room, the living room and downstairs den with fireplace all have new premium vinyl plank flooring, with new hardwood stairs leading down to the lower level den. The two living areas over-looking the backyard have lots of windows and heated flooring - as does the entry foyer. The back rooms also have their own dedicated Carrier HVAC. Except for the bathrooms, the upper level is carpeted. The lower level and upper level are accessed by stairs off the entry foyer. The lower level opens to at 21' X 18' recreation room with gas fireplace and recessed lighting. A 7' hallway leads to the half bathroom, the 5th bedroom (that measures 13' X 12') and a large 21' X 14' "L-shaped" utility room / laundry with shelving storage and walkout access to the backyard. The HVAC in this area of the house is Trane and the unit includes a humidifier. A 50 gallon AO Smith water heater is located here as well. The house is heated by natural gas. A 14 kw Generac "Guardian Series" natural gas generator is just outside the back lower level door stairway to provide emergency power in the event of an electric power outage. Finally, the trustee has pre-paid for lawn care for all of 2024 - and that will convey with the house. This is an excellent property made even more appealing - awaiting you to personalize and make it your own!
