Seller’s Comments

Coffee shop of choice:

There are multiple local coffee shops nearby, including a Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and local establishments.

Favorite restaurants in the area:

Mango Mikes – a locally-owned restaurant with a Caribbean flair. They offer a broad menu and an outstanding steel drum Sunday brunch.

Favorite places to go:

The proximity to the Metro offers convenient access to the entire city of Washington DC – including the Kennedy Center, Smithsonian Museums, MCI Center, and other area attractions. Locally, the multiple nearby parks offer walking paths and wonderful large open areas.

Best features of the home:

The best features of the home obviously begin with the proximity to the Metro, bus stop, and local shopping centers and parks. The home itself is one of the most desirable in the neighborhood as it is a second floor end unit offering additional light via extra windows in the kitchen and master bedroom and a large private corner deck with views of trees in both directions. The home also offers an attached garage with additional second parking space. There is also a two-sided fireplace in the living room. The home also offers all new flooring including hardwood in both bedrooms, kitchen and entry.

Favorite room: The living room is our favorite room as it offers a cozy view of the fireplace while also offering loads of natural light and views of trees through the large windows throughout the year.

Any remodeling since last sale price:

The entire condo has been remodeled. New energy efficient windows have been added throughout. New hardwood floors have been added in both bedrooms, kitchen and entry, new premium carpet in the living/dining rooms, and new vinyl in both bathrooms. All walls have been freshly painted and new updated lighting has been installed throughout. All appliances have been replaced with GE Select appliances and the wood cabinets have been refaced with six additional cabinets added for increased storage. Additionally, new kitchen countertops have been added including a new porcelain sink and brushed nickel faucet. Both full bathrooms have been updated with new vanities, mirrors, brushed nickel faucets, and lighting. The hot water heater has been replaced as well as the heat pump — which now includes an energy saving programmable thermostat. All electrical receptacles & switches have been replaced and all door hardware has been updated with brushed nickel knobs and hinges. The finished garage has been completely repainted with wood base molding added.

Most romantic spot:

The most romantic spot in the home is definitely the large soaking tub area in the master bathroom. The walls, painted in a warm hue, surround the bathtub whose entrance is encased with large elegant drapes which serve to frame the area and instill a sense of privacy. Warm glowing candles add to the mood.

What’s in the neighborhood: The neighborhood offers convenient walking access to the community pool and clubhouse, Metro stop, bus stop, multiple parks, as well as nearby shopping centers containing multiple restaurants, a post office, a Giant grocery store, as well as a Home Depot.

What I will miss the most:

We will miss the sense of community and close proximity to everything, from walking access to the Metro and bus stop to the multiple restaurants, shopping centers, and parks, that the area offers. Residents are friendly and take pride in the city – it truly is a wonderful place to live.
