Property Description
SOLD! Nestled on a quiet street in the beautiful American University Park, this unique quartz stone Dutch Colonial is a gem of the neighborhood. With 2,564 square feet of living space in the main house and an additional 800 square feet in the detached ADU/carriage house on a large lot, the property is a perfect blend of comfort and space. Enhanced with thoughtful landscaping of mature plants, bushes, and trees both front and back, a flagstone walkway offers a gracious introduction to the main house, which features 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths arranged over three levels. In 2022, the property saw significant improvements, including a new roof installed on the east/west portals of the main house and the addition of 29 energy-efficient solar panels. These solar panels, which are purchased, under warranty, and convey with the property, reduce annual electric costs by more than 50 percent and generate SREC income. The detached ADU/carriage house, built in 2011, is arranged on two levels and features 1 bedroom, 1.5 baths, a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy living/dining room, and a stacked washer-dryer. This versatile space could serve as an income generator with a tenant or short-term rentals, an in-law suite, or a guest retreat. Additionally, the ADU has potential as an office or studio, making it perfect for those who work from home. The main level of the primary house showcases a blend of hardwood and ceramic tile flooring, ceiling fans, and an abundance of natural light. The light-filled chef-designed kitchen boasts granite countertops, two kitchen sinks, a large pantry, a downdraft gas cooktop, updated appliances, custom cabinetry, open shelving, and an extended countertop area with seating for two. The living room, centered around the colonial fireplace, and the dining room are complemented by built-ins, including custom cabinetry and a wine refrigerator. An ample-sized den/sunroom with heated floors and a vaulted, beamed ceiling adds to the charm. The upper level features three bedrooms, one with easy pull-down access to the attic, a linen closet, and two full baths adorned with decorative tile and modern vanities. The lower level offers a full bath and flexible living space, featuring a fireplace and heated floors, ideal as a fourth bedroom, playroom, home office, or family room. Additionally, the lower level includes a separate living area with heated floors and a laundry room, which walks out to the rear of the home. The quiet location and bucolic garden setting belie the convenient access to D. C. , Maryland, and Virginia, making it the best of city living for work, school, and play!
