Property is Under Contract. Open Houses have been cancelled. Imagine sipping your morning coffee on this pretty screened porch, listening to the birds and the rustle of leaves in the trees. Imagine loafing or dining on the porch while the whirling ceiling fans lazily provide a gentle breeze and the screens protect you from flying or crawling irritations. From the porch or from inside the house, the grilling deck is just a step away. The front yard is lush from the irrigation system, and a covered porch can hold comfortable chairs that allow you to chat with strolling neighbors as they pass by. Stepping into the large foyer of this home, your eye travels immediately through the formal dining room and the pair of French doors - with wet bar - out to the screened porch and sheltering trees beyond. A right turn leads you into the great room, a combined kitchen, living and casual dining space with mud room, built-ins and half walls to help delineate the living possibilities. A granite topped island creates an efficient "C" plan layout. A half wall separates the living and dining areas, while providing shelving for the tv and other essentials. The living and dining areas are embraced by full view French doors, a bank of windows, closets and long run of cabinets - perfect for organizing daily life and leading to the mud room with bench seat storage and stone floor. Hardwood floors, newly refinished, lead to the upstairs bedrooms and baths. The spacious primary bedroom has a walkin closet and ensuite bath and overlooks trees. The 2nd full bathroom has a large cubby for towels and storage and serves 2 good sized bedrooms. Each has large closets with wood shelves for efficient storage. The lower rec room is carpeted, with a stone faced wood burning fireplace and lots of built-ins and closets. Another full view French door takes you to another deck with shed and gate to the back yard. The 4th bedroom and the 3rd full bath are perfect for an au pair, guest bath, home office - whatever the need is. Laundry and mechanical room complete this level. Minutes to Del Ray, Shirlington. Old Town, Airport, Pentagon and DC are a quick commute. The neighborhood has dog and bike trails, The Pit playground and so much more!
