About this home
OPEN SUN 1-3pm! You’ll fall for the character and stay for the setting. Tucked within a quiet enclave in North Old Town, this sunny English cottage feels like something out of another era, yet lives effortlessly for today. Positioned on a prized end-unit lot, the home is framed by gardens that have been thoughtfully cultivated over time, creating a private, ever-changing backdrop of color and texture.
Inside, the home balances warmth and function. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living space, while the updated kitchen offers clean, modern finishes with stainless steel appliances. Upstairs offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, while the finished walk-out lower level adds valuable flexibility with a rec room anchored by a second wood-burning fireplace, a full bath, and dedicated laundry, storage, and utility space.
What truly sets this home apart is its outdoor space. The garden is a standout, lush and layered, thoughtfully curated with a wide variety of perennials, flowering shrubs, and mature trees that provide color and privacy throughout the seasons. A covered flagstone patio, thoughtfully designed to complement the home’s architectural style, creates the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining.
Modern improvements, including a high-efficiency Daikin dual-fuel heat pump and updated windows with classic casement styling, enhance comfort while preserving the home’s architectural integrity.
The location is equally compelling, just about a mile to the Potomac Yard Metro, walkable to the waterfront, and moments from the shops, dining, and everyday conveniences of North Old Town. Buzz Bakery, Rustico, Vaso’s, Slater’s Market, Pupatella and more are all close by, with the energy of King Street just beyond. With easy access to major commuter routes and Metro, enjoying everything Washington DC has to offer, from world-class dining and museums to theaters, sports, and more, is effortless.
Homes in this storied community are known for their character, setting, and sense of place, and this one carries a bit of its own legacy, affectionately referred to by locals as the “Honeymoon Cottage.”...
