Main-Level Living & Classic Charm — 2 of 4 bedrooms on the main level of this Alcova Heights Cape Cod, updated with $130K+ since 2018. Step past the custom shutters and a refreshed front walkway, and you'll find a home that pairs timeless character with everyday ease. The main level offers a full bath, recently renovated while preserving many of the home's original tiles, and one of the main-level bedrooms features a cedar closet.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen brings together upgraded countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a tile backsplash, with gas cooking and a dining room that opens right into the great room. Curl up by the gas fireplace in the living room, or gather in the great room, where custom built-ins, a wood-burning fireplace, and a bay window set the scene. From there, step straight out to a deck and a backyard full of green space, shaded by mature trees on a 0.18-acre lot — your own retreat just steps from the front door.
Upstairs, escape to a private primary suite that spans the entire level, complete with a walk-in closet, built-in chests, an ensuite bath, and a walk-in shower.
Downstairs, the fully finished lower level (2022) adds even more flexibility: a bedroom with a built-in desk and shelving, perfect for guests or a home office, a full bath with a walk-in shower, and a rec room with custom built-in shelves and cabinets. The laundry room rounds things out with a farmhouse sink, beverage refrigerator, extra counter space, and floating shelves.
And then there's the location. Grab a coffee or brunch just steps away at Ruthie's All Day, or stroll the walkable Columbia Pike/S Glebe Rd corridor for even more shops and restaurants. Alcova Heights Park, Penrose Park, and the Thomas Jefferson Community Center are all just around the corner. Commuting is effortless, too — hop the Metro via Ballston or Clarendon, reach the Pentagon in just over 2 miles, or head to Reagan National Airport (DCA) in under 5.
