27 W Wyatt, synonymous with charm. This home is full of character, with the original windows and wooden frames, the generous front porch providing an unobstructed view of the corner lot, and the tasteful bold trim inside. A three block walk down the street is Mount Vernon Avenue, your one-stop-shop for fantastic restaurants, shopping, and all the activities Del Ray has to offer. Meet your friends for an outdoor happy hour at Cheesetique, or stay awhile at Evening Star Café. Finish the evening at the Dairy Godmother for some delicious custard. The weekly farmer's market is available for fresh vegetables and pastries, and the Mount Vernon Recreation Center and Elementary School are a 6 minute walk down Commonwealth Ave. "Art on the Avenue" is a popular fall event, promoting local businesses and featuring plenty of outdoor activities to entertain all ages. This property offers an expansive corner lot with front, side, and back yards - a desirable space in Del Ray. With a small table and chairs, or a porch swing, enjoy decorating the front porch for the holidays and smile as your neighbors walk by. Inside, the home embraces family and friends warmly. The prominent trim creates structure throughout the home, while the wide frames allow guests to move freely from room to room over the polished hardwood floors. The dining room, with classic chair rail, is bright; three large windows look out into the side yard. This is the center of the home, providing family a space to eat, talk, and enjoy time together. Past the dining room is the kitchen, featuring stainless steel appliances and tall cabinets to take advantage of vertical storage. The right of the home branches off to personal spaces - both bedrooms and the full bath. Eastern exposure in the bedrooms allow you to wake up to the soft morning light. Upstairs is the finished attic with additional storage lining both sides of the home. With the expansive carpeted space, it's a perfect place to set up a reading sanctuary, a craft room, or a home yoga studio. The steps to the lower level lead to the back, with a covered deck stepping down to the stone patio. The backyard is fully fenced with flowerbeds to personalize your garden and an outdoor shed to store tools. The gate opens to the side yard, a walkway leading to the one-car gravel driveway and another to the front of the home. The lower level is an unfinished storage space, with washer and dryer hookups and two sump pumps. 27 W Wyatt Ave is a block from the nearest bus station in two directions, on Commonwealth Ave or Russell Road. Old Town is less than 10 minutes by car from your driveway. Braddock Metro Station is 1.5 miles away and the King Street Metro and Alexandria Amtrak Station are 1.7 miles, a 15 minute bus ride.
