Property Description
Main-Level Living & Classic Charm 2 of 4 bedrooms on the main level of this Alcova Heights Cape Cod, updated with $130K+ since 2018. Step past the custom shutters and a refreshed front walkway, and you'll find a home that pairs timeless character with everyday ease. The main level offers a full bath, recently renovated while preserving many of the home's original tiles, and one of the main-level bedrooms features a cedar closet. At the heart of the home, the kitchen brings together upgraded countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a tile backsplash, with gas cooking and a dining room that opens right into the great room. Curl up by the gas fireplace in the living room, or gather in the great room, where custom built-ins, a wood-burning fireplace, and a bay window set the scene. From there, step straight out to a deck and a backyard full of green space, shaded by mature trees on a 0.18-acre lot your own retreat just steps from the front door. Upstairs, escape to a private primary suite that spans the entire level, complete with a walk-in closet, built-in chests, an ensuite bath, and a walk-in shower. Downstairs, the fully finished lower level (2022) adds even more flexibility: a bedroom with a built-in desk and shelving, perfect for guests or a home office, a full bath with a walk-in shower, and a rec room with custom built-in shelves and cabinets. The laundry room rounds things out with a farmhouse sink, beverage refrigerator, extra counter space, and floating shelves. And then there's the location. Grab a coffee or brunch just steps away at Ruthie's All Day, or stroll the walkable Columbia Pike/S Glebe Rd corridor for even more shops and restaurants. Alcova Heights Park, Penrose Park, and the Thomas Jefferson Community Center are all just around the corner. Commuting is effortless, too hop the Metro via Ballston or Clarendon, reach the Pentagon in just over 2 miles, or head to Reagan National Airport (DCA) in under 5.
