Small in stature but mighty in appeal, this charming brick single-family home offers an exceptional opportunity in one of Northwest DC’s most convenient neighborhoods. A terrific condo alternative—with the privacy, outdoor space, and parking that condo living rarely provides—this home packs an impressive amount into its efficient footprint. A welcoming front porch sets the tone and opens to a comfortable living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The adjoining dining room flows into a crisp white kitchen, creating an easy and inviting main level for everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath. The walk-out lower level adds valuable flexibility with a third bedroom, second full bath, and a spacious laundry/storage/utility room. Outside, enjoy a rear patio and fenced yard—perfect for dining, gardening, pets, or simply relaxing outdoors. And in a neighborhood where parking is a true luxury, two-car off-street parking is an added bonus. All of this just moments from the Red Line Metro and the shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences of Friendship Heights.
