    What's special

    You'll fall in love with this remarkable Rosemont home, situated just steps away from the King Street and Braddock Road Metro Stations! I'm sure you've commented on its grand home while taking a walk or sitting across the street at Grape and Bean. From the moment you step onto the expansive front porch, you'll be enchanted by this majestic property's warm energy and picturesque curb appeal. Sit on the porch swing and enjoy the warm glow of the gas lanterns casting a soft, flickering light across the front porch, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere that beckoned visitors to step inside and feel right at home. Inside, the gracious foyer welcomes you with warm hardwood floors and timeless architectural details throughout. To your left, the living room features a wood-burning fireplace and plenty of space for gatherings, while the formal dining room on the right boasts extensive built-ins and an elegant marble serving area. The kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances and ample storage, opens up to a sunroom or breakfast nook with wall-to-ceiling glass doors that offer unobstructed views of the raised deck and enclosed northern side yard - perfect for entertaining! The patio, which can easily accommodate off-street parking, is fully enclosed and opens up to the street. A discreetly located powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, the second level features a large primary bedroom, two sizable additional bedrooms, and a full bathroom with a pedestal sink and a tub/shower. On the third level, two more bedrooms with skylights, built-in storage, and a tiled full bath with a claw-footed bathtub await you. Plantation shutters provide privacy and elegance throughout the home, and provide easy access to the premium Anderson Windows. The lower level offers a windowed, bright, and open basement with additional storage, laundry facilities, and room for a workshop or exercise area. The interior exit to the northern yard makes it easy to bring in your equipment or supplies. The property also features a southern side yard that connects through the gate behind the home, providing a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life. And speaking of city life, this home is conveniently walkable to Old Town and even The Avenue in Del Ray. Stroll directly across the street to Grape & Bean for coffee, lunch, dinner, or wine and charcuterie. Lena's Pizza & Tap is only a couple of blocks away, too! Hooffs Run Park and Greenway is also across the street that includes a tennis court and dog park. School mornings are easy as your one block to Naomi Brooks Elementary. Plus, with quick access to Reagan National, Amazon HQ2, and major roadways, 500 Commonwealth Avenue truly has it all. Recent updates to the home include a new electrical panel, relined chimney, and new chimney cap. Don't miss this opportunity to make this enchanting property your own!
