As you approach, you're greeted by the classic covered front porch, shaded by mature trees along this tranquil, tree-lined block. Step inside to the living room, where crown molding, a wood-burning fireplace, and 9-foot ceilings create a sophisticated, yet warm atmosphere. The floor plan flows seamlessly into the elegant dining room with a bay window, offering plenty of space to host dinners. The bright, eat-in kitchen is bathed in southwestern exposure from the skylight and tall windows. The first floor also features a convenient powder room.
Outside, the beautifully designed rear garden, featuring "blue stone" paving, feels like a serene Italian retreat. With a soothing fountain along the back wall and lush perennial gardens offering tranquil privacy, it’s the perfect space to unwind or host gatherings.

Located just steps from Germantown Avenue, you’re moments away from an array of local shops, restaurants, and vibrant community events, making this home the perfect blend of peaceful living and urban convenience. Come make this home yours!
