Description:

Perched on a ridge in Rosemont overlooking the Potomac River Valley sits this exceptional brick, colonial home enhanced by mature landscaping. Built with old-school materials and methods in 1937, the structure is solid and enduring. Thoughtfully remodeled, it now exhibits modern convenience and durability. New Andersen, double-glazed, double hung windows were installed in 2016. The upscale architectural shingle roof was installed in 2013 complementing the elegant dentil molding eaves and copper downspouts. Classic solid wood, six-panel doors and all wood floors remain along with classic millwork including chair rails, elaborate staircase spandrels, and trim molding. Discreetly integrated modern touches include recessed lighting and track lighting plus towel warmer in the primary bath. The interior has been freshly painted in versatile, neutral colors. Features of the remodeled kitchen include stainless steel appliances (Miele dishwasher, Kitchenaid cooktop, oven, and built-in microwave), custom solid maple cabinets, soft-close drawers, ceramic floor tile, and Corian counters with spice storage mini-cabinets incorporated into the backsplash. The panoramic windows in the adjacent breakfast area offer delightful scenery and the heated ceramic tile floor assures maximum comfort. A convenient half bath has a space-saving pocket door. The wall mounted TV in the breakfast area conveys. A refined mantel with subtle dentil molding graces the gas insert fireplace in the living room. Numerous closets plus copious built-in shelves and cabinets throughout the home offer extensive display and storage space. On the top floor, a single large bedroom with its own full bath grants privacy and a romantic ambiance for the masters of the house. Heating for the home is provided by a very desirable radiator system. The two-zone furnace replaced in 2019 separately controls the upper and lower sections of the home. Cooling for the first and second levels is provided by four Fujitsu ductless mini-splits. A separate heat-pump, forced-air system cools the third level. The washer and dryer were replaced in 2020. Massive storage is provided by the cavernous, full basement with 12-foot ceiling. The garage and driveway afford ample off-street parking. The basement and loft of the garage offer additional storage. For transportation access, this location delivers. Metrorail and passenger rail stations are only a few blocks away and multiple free DASH routes serve this portion of King Street.
