Just moments from Friendship Heights Metro, this sun-filled three-bedroom, three-bath home delivers timeless curb appeal with a stately brick façade, mature landscaping, and flowering trees lining the property. Inside, rich hardwood floors, arched doorways, and large windows add warmth and character throughout. With enough room for all sorts of friends - two- and four-legged alike - this home was built for both quiet moments at home and grand backyard parties. The gracious living room centers around a gas fireplace – perfect for cozy evenings – while the elegant dining room flows into a fully renovated kitchen, complete with custom cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, and top-of-the-line appliances. Enjoy direct access to the fenced-in backyard, where raised beds brim with culinary herbs and a wide yard welcomes all to unwind. The screened-in porch serves as an all-season extension of the home -- ideal for relaxed mornings, afternoon reading, or sharing stories by moonlight. Upstairs, the airy primary suite offers multiple closets and a freshly renovated en suite bath with a deep soaking tub, classic tile, and thoughtful vintage-inspired finishes. Two additional bedrooms and another full bath completes this level. Above it all, a full-sized attic with dedicated stairs and a finished floor is ready for your vision -- create a fourth bedroom, playroom, or studio. The lower level adds flexibility, with a family room, home office space, a full bath, and private entry. A one-car garage, private driveway, and additional off-street parking make everyday life easy. The large backyard offers incredible potential for future home expansion, recreation, or outdoor entertaining. This meticulously maintained home includes upgraded energy-efficient windows, a new attic fan, and a high-capacity washer. All just steps to Whole Foods, Amazon Fresh, dining, retail, parks, and the Capital Crescent Trail.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
