A new Carrier Comfort Series Air Conditioning System was installed this year, including an air handler and compressor in the attic. Downstairs is a spacious recreation room with gorgeous slate floor and walkout access to the yard - easy to clean after a rainy afternoon outside. The considerably sized storage room houses the washer and dryer, with plenty of extra space for overflow from the upstairs closet. There is meticulous landscaping outside, lots of time and care have been invested into the yard. Arborvitaes line the right side of the driveway, while new flower beds frame the slate walkway to the front door. The backyard is fully fenced, making it a lovely retreat for you and your pets, with a conveying playhouse and storage shed in the corner of the yard, to store outdoor activities and tools. A 5 minute drive for grocery shopping at Safeway, picking up carry-out, or a quick morning Starbucks run in Bradlee or Fairlington Shopping Centre. Enhance the landscaping with your own personal touches at Greenstreet Gardens, also a 5 minute drive down the street. Within walking distance to T.C. Williams High School and a 6 minute drive to MacArthur Elementary. Walk 15 minutes to Forest Park for an afternoon outside or hop in the car for a quick ride down to the Old Town waterfront to picnic.
