About This Home

As of January 2025

New Price! Nestled on a quiet street in Kensington, this lovely residence backs to a surround of mature trees on a spacious, level lawn. Available for the first time in 37 years, the meticulous, long-time owners have just updated the home with fresh paint and light fixtures throughout, new main-level flooring, new carpeting on the upper level, and a new roof. All of the spaces for living and entertaining are here! Upon stepping inside the gracious foyer, meander to the right into the elegant formal living room. Designed for all of your holiday celebrations, the living room adjoins the dining room with ample space for small or large dinner parties. Appointed with stainless steel appliances, the kitchen offers a sunny breakfast area with glass doors opening to the deck and rear grounds. The family room off of the kitchen features a wood-burning fireplace for gathering around after dinner. A powder room completes the main level. There are 3 large bedrooms upstairs and two full baths. The primary suite offers great closet space and a private bath. Sunlit and bright, every bedroom has ample space for furnishings. Ready for your own design imprint, the lower level is a blank slate: presenting the perfect layout for a home office, family movie nights or hours of play. Step out back to a fabulous level lawn where outdoor entertaining, gardening and play space are all offered. Just in time for cool autumn weather, add a firepit and enjoy your evenings under the stars. This home is moments to the walking and biking trails in Rock Creek Park, convenient to commuting routes around the city, and has easy access to Kensington’s emerging restaurant scene. For the buyer hoping to establish their own roots in a wonderful home and neighborhood, this one is it!
