VILLAGE CHARM IN THE CITY! This classic brick Colonial straddles two worlds: The modern urban conveniences of Tenleytown in the front and the quiet life of one of DC’s oldest historic country roads in the back.

The home has four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms over four floors. The front door opens to a center hallway with a bright formal dining room on one side and to an elegant living room with a fireplace on the other. Walk through the glass doors between the living room and the family room and prepare to be dazzled by the sunshine flooding the room through four arched windows. Next to the family room is the kitchen and a large deck which is perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Retreat to the upper level where you will find the master bedroom which has an ensuite bathroom and a large walk-in closet with an adjoining dressing room/nursery. Two additional bedrooms and a hallway bathroom complete the comfort of this floor.

On the top floor, the large room can be used as a playroom, yoga studio or extra bedroom. And the office next to it provides seclusion, and is the perfect solution to keeping work separate from the rest of your home life.

The lower level also offers privacy with a separate entrance to a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit that has been a licensed AirBnB, grossing around $25,000/year!

Step out into the garden and enter a different world, and time. The deep yard offers plenty of privacy and different options for entertaining, with a partly covered patio with a lounge area, a fire pit and a lawn to play on. And it borders one of DC’s best kept secrets, Grant Road.

The alley behind the house is one of the original rural roads of what used to be Washington County and it's part of the smallest historic district in DC. Named after General Ulysses S. Grant, the road winds through the neighborhood, in stark contrast to DC’s grid pattern. The houses on the other side of Grant Road are historic pastel-colored cottages from 1890 with lush gardens spilling over white picket fences. It’s hard to believe this home is just two blocks from the Metro and Whole Foods!
Another rare find in this neighborhood is the driveway that fits three cars. And there is also a one car garage.

This is an opportunity to own a home that combines the charm of living on a pretty village road with all the conveniences of urban life!
