Don't be deceived from the front by the size of this charming front porch bungalow: this 1925 home was rebuilt, expanded and re-imagined as a fabulous and unique 4 BR 3.5 BA home, complete with all the modern conveniences and features we love, yet keeping some of old aesthetic. Step into the main house from the covered front porch and enter into the living room with a wood burning fireplace. A formal dining room and expansive open kitchen lies beyond, with a welcoming family room attached to the kitchen. First floor bedroom, full bathroom and an office/den complete the first floor plan. The second floor features the primary bedroom with a cathedral ceiling, juliet balcony overlooking the garden, ensuite primary bathroom and a large walk in closet. Two additional comfortable size bedrooms, one full hall bath with a tub, a sitting area for watching TV or studying, and a second floor full laundry room. The lower level is heated and air conditioned with an exterior side entrance, 1/4 bath and two large open spaces--one for storage and one for exercise or a kids play space. Add a shower to the 1/4 bath and finish this space for another recreation room perhaps? French doors from the kitchen lead to a slate patio with a wood pergola and specimen plantings. But the big bonus is just outside in the rear of the property: a fabulous accessory dwelling unit (ADU), with a full size kitchen and gas stove, full bathroom, full size washer/dryer, and its own patio/garden and separate entrance with parking. This adorable home with approx 500 sq ft is perfect for an au pair, inlaw, or as a rental for extra income. Currently we have a lovely long term tenant here who would love to stay but is month to month and can vacate depending on the buyer's request. Tons of features including all hardwood floors, molding on the entire first floor rooms, plantation shutters, high ceilings, all recessed lights, underground sprinkler system, lovely landscaped yard, and a side storage shed to name a few. Easy stroll to both Tenley and Friendship Heights Metro, Turtle Park, shops, restaurants, Target, Whole Foods, CVS and the Tenley Library among the neighborhood highlights. Located in the Janey/Deal/ Jackson Reed school district and walking to GDS. Come by and expect to be wowed by this special listing. Any offers due on Tuesday at 1 PM.
