The spacious front porch beckons as you approach this classic Craftsman style home in historic Lyon Village. Imagine yourself reading the morning news or enjoying an evening with friends al fresco. Take note of the densely-landscaped front yard - no mowing needed - which is thoughtfully planted with dogwoods, hydrangeas, hostas, Solomon's seal and violets, infusing it with color across the growing seasons.

Walking into this well-crafted residence is like stepping back in time, but with all of the modern conveniences. As you enter you immediately appreciate the open floor plan with a view that extends through to the rear of the house. The living room provides an intimate area to entertain, and the gas fireplace with custom tile surround is flanked by built-in bookcases. Just beyond is the light-filled, skylit dining room. A butlers pantry includes a wine refrigerator and wet bar, and easily services both the front and rear of the home. The kitchen addition is spectacular with wide plank floors, custom cabinetry, Electrolux cooktop, double oven, refrigerator drawers, warming oven and Liebherr refrigerator. The breakfast bar with period-style pendant lighting separates the kitchen from the inviting family room. Two gracious sized bedrooms and a stunning full bath with custom mosaic tile in the shower and heated floors complete this level.

On the second floor, you will appreciate the open concept at the top of the stairs, which can serve as a second family room and office area. Two bedrooms are located on this level. A large hall bath accesses a generous custom closet. The closet easily converts into a fifth bedroom. A small deck is your private sanctuary. And speaking of sanctuaries, youll love the primary suite. It is spacious and features a vaulted ceiling, two-way gas fireplace and wide plank floors. The primary bath includes a luxurious soaking tub, heated limestone floor, and separate steam shower with beautiful tilework.

The walk-out lower level awaits your creativity offering opportunities for a finished playroom, office space, gym or extra storage - the possibilities are endless. And a half bath has already been added.

The rear garden patio is a peaceful retreat from the days activities. Climbing hydrangea, lenten rose, epimedium, eastern redbuds, crape myrtle and sweetbay magnolias accent a bluestone patio and enchanting koi pond with a bubbling fountain. A renovated one-car garage with custom doors and electricity is perfect for an extra vehicle or home and garden workshop.

This location has it all. You are minutes to downtown DC, Georgetown and the airport. Easy pedestrian access to both Courthouse and Clarendon metro stations make this a commuter's dream. Premier shopping and restaurants in Clarendon abound within five blocks of your front door. Walk to Whole Foods for a quick grocery run or head to Lyon Village Park for tennis, basketball, and a playground. This is a rare opportunity to own a fully-renovated home in an established community with prime access to the very best that our capital region offers.
