Check out this lovely 4 bedroom plus office, 3.5 bath single-family home in Del Ray. The home was rebuilt/reimagined in 2016 with a contemporary/craftsman vibe, open plan and unique flow with separated wings for easy living. The main level living area is open, with 9’ ceilings and wide plank hardwood floors. The kitchen has white cabinets, a granite center island, stainless appliances, pantry, and a door to the back patio. To one side of the kitchen is the dining room, to the other side is the bright and spacious living room. Offset from the main living area is a bedroom, office (that could serve as a 5th bedroom), stylish full bath, and a mud room with WiFi-enabled combo lock to the side door. At the top of the lovely custom oak staircase is a roof deck that looks out over the Mount Jefferson Park Greenway. At the front of the house on this second level is a generous primary suite with a walk-in closet, additional closet, and a full bath with glass walk-in shower. Down a hall past the laundry, you’ll find two bedrooms and a shared hall bath with tub shower. The lower level is the footprint of the original house, with a carpeted rec room, powder room, and utility/storage room. Useful extra storage in the crawl space under the dining room. Note that the floor plan measurements reflect 3302 total SQFT (1423 Main Level, 1256 Upper Level, 623 Lower Level), more than is reflected in the tax record. Custom finishings that make the home quite special and unique include oversize crown molding, baseboards, and designer baths. For ease and comfort, both HVAC zones have smart (Nest) thermostats. The front yard is fully fenced with a flagstone porch on which to chill out while Fido romps around. The lot extends to the end of the patio in back, where the public greenway beyond gives the illusion of a more expansive yard! Off to the side is a large shed to store all your outdoor “stuff,” and the parking pad accommodates 6 smaller or 4 larger vehicles. The new Potomac Yards metro stop is about a half mile walk; and a playground, dog park and the heart of “The Avenue” is a short stroll away. So many things to love!

Welcome home to this cosy two bedroom, two bath row home in southwest Old Town - loaded with updates. At the end of a gentle curving brick walkway flanked by beds of ivy, perennials and shrubbery, the path opens for space to sit and watch the world go by. Step up and enter through the firetruck red front door. *** Past the entry foyer is a living room with large window and broad opening to the dining room that, in turn, opens to a fully updated kitchen: appliances, cabinets, counters, sink space saving accessories and hot water dispenser, lighting, flooring. *** Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and one beautifully, fully updated bath with glass doors to the tub shower. The hardwoods on the main and upper levels are recently refinished and gleaming. *** The lower level has a rec room with a peek of natural light, full bath with stall shower, under-stairs storage space, and laundry/utility room with still more space for storage. There are walk-up steps to the back yard from the utility room, covered so as to extend the usable patio space and to protect the steps from collecting leaves and debris on windy days. Keep the steps as is to use only as necessary or visualize future renovations incorporating easy egress from the lower level. *** The back fenced patio is just the space for grilling and tranquil relaxation. The gate opens to an alley where garbage and recycling are stored and collected. *** A stone’s throw from south Old Town favorites Frankies, Southside, Ace Hardware and Balduccis, this home is only just over a mile to the King St metro (with closer bus stops), and just over a half mile to the Potomac for relaxing strolls along the picturesque waterfront. What a combination of Old Town charm and convenience! Please ask for the full list of updates that includes many cool features.
