Perched on a hill with scenic neighborhood views, welcome to 5124 Chowan Avenue — a beautifully refreshed 4-bedroom, 3 full bath ranch-style home on a spacious, quiet lot in sought-after Lincolnia Park.
Step inside to the bright and inviting main living area featuring newly refinished hardwood floors, recessed lighting, large windows that flood the space with natural light, and a cozy wood-burning stove.

A large family room with a wood-burning fireplace and brand-new carpeting creates a warm and comfortable setting for relaxing or entertaining. This level also includes two separate storage areas, a generously sized laundry room with new luxury vinyl flooring and fresh paint, and easy access to the garage.
Outside, the private backyard is surrounded by greenery and offers plenty of space for outdoor dining and grilling. The expansive driveway provides parking for at least four vehicles.
Enjoy a peaceful, residential setting while remaining just minutes from shopping, restaurants, Lincolnia Park Recreation Center, Thomas Edison High School of Technology, Washington, DC, and major commuter routes. This home offers the perfect balance of quiet living and everyday convenience.
