About this home
Say hello to 1217 Colonial Avenue ‹” a brick townhome tucked away on a quiet street, just a short stroll from Old Town. Behind that blue picket fence is a home that's been updated in all the right places without losing its charm.Walk into a kitchen that's ready for real life: white cabinets, quartz counters, subway tile, and stainless appliances (yes, including a gas range for the home cooks out there). Right off the kitchen, there's a sunny little breakfast nook with an exposed brick wall and built-in bench seating ‹” the kind of spot you'll actually want to have your coffee in. The living room rounds out the main level with plenty of room to kick back.Head upstairs and you'll find the primary bedroom with hardwood floors and good closet space, a second bedroom, and a full bath with granite counters and a tiled tub/shower.Downstairs, the finished lower level gives you even more to work with ‹” a den for whatever you need it to be (office, gym, guest space, you name it), a stacked washer/dryer, and another full bath with a marble-tiled walk-in shower and a navy vanity that just pops.Outside: a small private yard and ‹” this is the good part ‹” two dedicated parking spaces, which is basically gold in this neighborhood.And the location? Hard to beat. You're around the corner from Vaso's and Pupatella Pizza, close to the Capital Bike Stand, a few blocks from Old Town's restaurants and shops, half a mile to Braddock Road Metro, two stoplights from DC, a mile walk to Del Ray, and just 8 blocks from the Potomac."One or more photos have been virtually staged/digitally enhanced"...
