4 Detached and 2 Historic-Like Buildings in Giant Fenced Yard
|
Beautiful old-fashioned property with mostly newer improvements and additions. DOUBLE LOT in close to DC one block from Metro. One-of-a-kinds include a huge great room, oversized and high ceiling Master Bedroom w/ balcony, a custom antique main bathroom with claw foot, large/windowed separate breakfast nook, a spacious office with wrap-around counters, large living room w/ lots of built in shelving, a newly finished high ceiling “custom” mother-in-law basement suite w/ matching arches, beautiful large wood front porch & covered brick back porch and open work shop. Original wood floors and “dog pawed” Mexican tiles throughout most of home. Recent partial renovated kitchen w/ mostly all new stainless appliances.
This property is also adorned with a gorgeous spring and fall garden that keeps exploding! One planted over the last 70 years where the original owner planted some 10,000 bulbs and there are now over 100 azaleas! A front walk made up of the original brick walkways discovered during plantings buried 5 inches down. A great recently “built to last” brick driveway.
Four separate buildings include a large chalet style guest house/studio w/ full bath and kitchen facilities. A funky backyard garage w/ attached storage room could easily be knocked down for a new garage. The other two “historical” ditties include an authentic sunken “Smithy” (blacksmith’s room) w/ bellows and… 2 - 4 foot thick concrete walled 12 foot down bomb shelter w/ cast iron entry(circa 1961).
We, as the second owners, did almost all we wanted w/ this property but left plenty of room for it’s third owner to make it their own! A high fenced in private back yard leaves plenty of room for a pool and/or tennis court. A fully equipped open air carpenter’s shop w/ brick base was once an elaborate green house. Now it could be a screened porch that no dog could run through. Plenty of room on the south side for continuing vegetable gardens.
In addition, many of those bells and whistles you might want could be ready for you by the time you move in – negotiated into a contract to be done by the Class A Contractor owner.
Still leaving room for the third owner in 80 years to enjoy all sorts of gardening(as we have), take part in “unstructured” play/day dreaming in the completely fenced in giant back yard, and ponder what small part of history their family will play!
