Theres so much space to live, love, and grow in this expansive, 12- year-young Colonial with three finished levels ( over 3500 square feet), and a deep, level back yard. A flagstone walkway leads to a welcoming front porch spanning the full width of the home. The first level, with open floor plan and 9 foot ceilings, features a private study/office, formal living and dining rooms, and an enormous kitchen-breakfast-family room flooded with light from walls of floor-to-ceiling windows. The cooks kitchen includes a gas cooktop, generous storage and countertop work space, large breakfast bar and dramatic stainless range hood all open to a bright family room with fireplace. French doors from the family/dining area lead to a newly stained deck overlooking a beautiful, fenced backyard bordered by mature trees that create a lush green landscape in the spring, summer and fall. Upstairs are four bedrooms and three full baths rarely available in this neighborhood including a spacious owners suite with walk-in closet and ensuite bath. Like the rest of the home, the newly carpeted, daylight lower level is light-filled, with a rec/family room, large guest bedroom with full bath, utility room and exit to the backyard. There are gleaming hardwoods and lovely moldings on the first and second levels, with recessed lights and abundant closet space throughout the home. Every room is bright, functional and filled with charm. Just minutes to Chevy Chase, Antique Row, the Marc Train and the Forest Glen Metro, this special home is also walking distance to Capitol View Park and the elementary school a truly special offering.
