Simply a dream of a location backing onto parkland in the heart of Claremont, a truly neighborly neighborhood. Wonderfully inviting, this spacious sunny cape seamlessly integrates modern updates with the original character of the home. Updated kitchen with granite countertops, upgraded appliances, new floor and a hammered steel pot rack, giving a stylish, urban feel. The house has many historic touches, including vintage door knobs and black and white mosaic tile in the beautifully updated bathrooms. Four good sized bedrooms and two full baths. Inviting living room with wood burning fireplace, sunny dining room surrounded by windows, beautiful hardwood floors. Finished lower level - great family room space! Backing onto a nature preserve, miles of trails, two playgrounds, and with a beautiful back deck to enjoy it all - fireflies, cardinals, even groundhogs and fox. Walk a mile on the trail for brunch in Shirlington or catch a show at the theater. The neighbors are warm and friendly, giving the neighborhood an old-fashioned feel. New roof in 2023! Energy efficient ductless heat and cooling keeps everything comfortable and cozy. Spacious and fresh - sunny and inviting. This house is a gem.
