This is a unique vintage home, full of light with beautiful views on all sides. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac just 1 traffic light from DC, this updated original farmhouse combines the charm of yesterday with all the modern amenities for today's lifestyle. Sitting on almost an acre, the house includes 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, entry foyer with 2nd story loft, a sunny dining room overlooking the flagstone patio, wood paneled library, updated kitchen with custom wood cabinetry, brand new quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, all stainless-steel appliances, new classic Master Bath with quartz vanity and subway tile shower and renovated basement exercise/play area with ample storage. The painted floors upstairs add to the bright, light, and airy farmhouse feel, as do the two staircases. A colonnaded porch runs almost the full length of the front of the house, a rear porch provides convenient access to the detached 2 car garage. A screened porch provides a peaceful place to enjoy the garden day and night, and the circular flagstone patio with encircling sitting wall is great for entertaining.
