Welcome to this handsomely updated and inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath detached home on a lovely deep lot on a quiet dead-end street in highly sought-after Kensington, mere minutes from the Wheaton Metro. This home has been thoughtfully renovated to offer updated living spaces on the main level and a fantastic finished lower level with potential for a fourth bedroom. The main level offers a sunny living room with coat closet and large windows, open dining area, and a lovely updated kitchen with newly refaced cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and recently added pantry closet. Down the hall, you'll find a generous primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms plus an updated hall bath and linen closet. Connecting stairs lead down to the full lower level, just finished to provide a huge recreation or media room with play area and a wonderful separate space perfect for a guest room or true fourth bedroom with study and second full bath. The lush yard and gardens with mature azalea bushes, patio, and storage shed can be accessed from the front porch, recently rebuilt back porch off the kitchen, or private lower level entrance. The property also boasts a paved parking pad for two cars (parked tandem). Other special features include a full storage attic, five-year-old roof, central air, wood floors on the main level, luxury vinyl plank flooring on the lower level, and a large utility/laundry/storage room. This home is ideally located just off of University Boulevard and just blocks from the Wheaton Metro and Westfield shopping plaza with Costco, Target, and much more.
