    An applicant has been approved but we are still showing until lease is signed. Location, Outdoor Space, Garage!! Available to show starting Sunday July 20. This spacious and light-filled Wardman-style home is located on a quiet and leafy "front porch" street in coveted Woodley Park. It provides a perfect balance of city living with greenery, peace, and tranquility being walkable to Metro, shops, restaurants, schools, the Zoo, Rock Creek Park trails, and more. Built in 1913, the home retains lovely architectural details while featuring updated kitchen(s), bathrooms, and an elevator for accessibility. The generously sized entertainer's dining room walks out to a large deck, as does the expanded galley kitchen, for circular indoor/outdoor flow. Stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, gas cooking, quality finishes, and a wall of windows make the kitchen a pleasure to be in. The deck has banquette seating and a gas connection for a grill. Upstairs, a very large family room has built-in desks and makes a fun TV room, den, or huge office, overlooking the street with three arched windows. Four bedrooms, all with good closets, and two full baths complete the upper levels. A sunny, independent, lower-level in-law suite has a high ceiling for a lower level, and includes a living room, dining area, 2nd kitchen, office area, bedroom and bathroom, private garden patio, plus front and rear exterior entrances. The rare (for Woodley Park) two-car detached garage has easy access to the house (no stairs) with a gentle and discreet ramp around the lower patio, perfect for strollers or wheelchair accessibility. The house is close to everything Woodley Park has to offer. In-boundary for Oytser-Adams Bilingual ES and many private schools and nursery schools as well. Landlord seeks a 2-4 year lease. Utilities, garden maintenance, snow removal, and gutter cleaning are the responsibility of the tenant. Landlord may arrange garden and gutter service at tenant expense, if desired. All persons over 18 to reside in the home will be required to complete an application online with Rentspree, plus the GCAAR application that can be obtained from Listing Agent along with the Rental Criteria and property disclosures. There is a nonrefundable application fee of $39.99 per person on Rentspree. Total gross annual income requirement to qualify to rent this home is 40 times the monthly proposed rent. Employer housing allowances may be included in the income total. Government housing vouchers are welcome and applicants with these vouchers will be exempt from the income requirement.
