Impeccably cared for home in the sweetest spot that's poised for tremendous growth. This expanded cape is exactly the kind of home you want to buy... a solid house that has received unbelievable care for decades. No deferred maintenance here! Expansive, gracious front porch for you to relax on this spring. Large living room welcomes you home to a gas fireplace and updated windows with gorgeous plantation shutters. Good sized dining room could be easily opened up, cost effectively creating an open concept kitchen while still boasting both a large living room and a large family room to enjoy. Lots of storage and nice appliances in the kitchen that opens to the family room. The family room addition with solid oak hardwood floors spans the whole back of the house with energy-efficient heating/cooling & easy access to the pristine patio. A wide hallway leads you to a well designed half bath and first floor bedroom. Upstairs you'll find another bathroom with great bones and two HUGE bedrooms. Full, dry basement is a wide open, blank slate for you to work with that includes an exit to the rear of the house. Carpets have been left in place to preserve HARDWOOD FLOORS UNDER CARPET. Tons of thoughtful updates consistently made over time such as updated windows, extensive hardscaping, well-made shutters & blinds, upgraded gas fireplace, gutter guards, hardwired alarm/smoke detection, whole house generator, a huge dormer upstairs, and an addition on the back of the house. Beautiful paver patio in the backyard steps up to well tended grass and a shed with electricity. Mature, low maintenance landscape & off street parking too! One of the sweetest spots in Kensington that's perfectly placed within walking distance to CVS, restaurants, coffee shops, parks, schools & so much more. Red Line Metro and exciting redevelopment close by makes this part of Kensington a smart place to call home now and years down the road.
