Property Description
Welcome to this classic Cape Cod home in the popular Homewood neighborhood. This beautifully maintained home has 3-fully finished levels and includes 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and an eat-in updated kitchen with modern appliances. Enter into a light-filled living room with access to the sparkling kitchen. In addition, to the abundant cabinets and counter space, the kitchen features a side entry to make it easy to bring in groceries, and a rear door that opens to the spacious deck. There are 2 bedrooms (one large enough for a king-sized bed), and an updated full bath on the main level as well. The upper level, features a large bedroom, access to eave storage areas and a built-in desk by the front window. The smaller bedroom can fit a full-sized bed or would be perfect as an office. The upper-level full bath features a skylight for natural sunlight and stargazing at night. The finished lower level includes a wonderful great room with plenty of space for dining for large parties and lounging to enjoy movies and games. In addition, there is a bonus room which would be great for an office or storage. A large laundry/utility room with extra storage complete this floor. The 400 sq foot deck with 10x20 awning, lights, and ceiling fans, is a great place to host barbecues, large events, or to just relax and enjoy the beautiful yard. The 5-burner natural gas grill conveys with the property to get your barbecue party started. An important feature of this property is the 648 sq foot oversized 2-car garage. The garage includes a large work area and a separate 10x20 professional office with a private entrance for clients. The building is climate controlled with its own HVAC system and has hot & cold water. There is attic storage with ladder access. Included are work benches, tool drawers and many storage cabinets. There are two storage sheds and yard tools, snow blower, lawn edger and generator are all included. This lovely property is less than a block away from the Capitol View Homewood Park with multiple athletic fields, playgrounds, picnic areas, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball courts, dog friendly fields and the neighborhood elementary school. Just a few blocks to the historic Town of Kensington with the Saturday morning Farmers Market, shops, and dining. The 1891 Kensington Train Station serves the MARC commuter train to DC. The Forest Glen metro station is only 2 miles away. Community events include a Labor Day Parade, Model Train Show, and picnics and community events hosted by the Kensington Fire Department.
