Kensington, MD 20895 3613 Dupont Avenue

Beautiful, Craftsman Styled home, move-in ready, in Walter Johnson High School, North Bethesda Middle School and Kensington/Parkwood Elementary districts. Minutes to NIH or Walter Reed Medical Center. ***NOTE: TAX RECORDS SQUARE FOOTAGE DOES NOT RELECT FINISH FOURTH LEVEL. Above grade sf is approx. 3807 (Less the MBR high ceilings area) . The finished basement is around 1269 sf making total finished living space at 5076 minus the MBR high ceiling area . ****** This custom, quality-built, good as new home, (It will have a fresh interior paint job after tenant moves out . Maybe you can choose the color.) This house was designed to 'fit into Old Town Kensington. Charm galore! High ceilings throughout. Real hardwood floors, amazing solid masonry brick wood-burning fireplace, great Kitchen with Double Ovens, Gas Cooktop and of course, stainless steel and Granite. The master bedroom is drop-dead amazing with it soaring ceiling and private deck. The fourth-floor loft is literally in-the-treetops-super-cool! Great space for office or teens or sewing room or you name it. The charm-filled backyard features a white picket-fence. Georgetown-styled brick patio complete with sitting-wall, flowing water fountain and natural gas grill hook-up. The yard is too small for soccer but it is a great place to share with friends or spend time relaxing. This home features 4 finished levels of living space with 13 rooms plus, 5.5 Baths. Starting at the top floor, one bedroom (2.5' x 5' Closet can be installed prior to closing, if wanted), a bath, a coffee bar area plumbed for sink, and a large loft. On the second floor there are 3 bedrooms and two baths and a laundry and a deck off the Master Bedroom. The main level has a half bath, LF, DR, FR, Kitchen, walk-in coat closet and mudroom with pantry space and covered porches, front and back! The lower level has a room with a private bath and a suite of rooms with a bedroom, bath and living room and kitchenette (Plumbed & wired for full Kitchen, if the owner wished to license it as an accessory apartment). The lower level, which I hesitate to call a basement since it is NOT basement-like at all, is light and bright and has its own private entrance as well as connecting to the home via stairs off the kitchen. The nice thing about this lower level is it has possibilities. Think possibly: ** great for teenagers that want to be off by themselves. ** an in-law or au pair suite. ** Space to run a small business from you home. ** a home office with a private entrance. ** perfect location for grown children still living at home. ** totally private income producing, home-sharing space. ** Or, just two or three more bedrooms. One of the best things about this home is it is large and spacious but it has a nice homey, cozy-home feel. There is room for everyone to come together as a family. Yet, plenty of private spaces for each person needs, be it work, study, hobbies. The next best thing about this house is its location in the heart of Old Town Kensington where everyone is out walking to and fro. Walk to Kensington's Farmers Market. Walk or ride your bike to Rock Creek Park and from there to NIH or Walter Reed or all the way downtown. Walk to the grocery, shops, restaurants. Walk to Kensingtons parades and street fairs. All just steps away. Walk just a couple blocks to the train station to get to Union Station and downtown. Cut through the neighborhoods and the Metro subway is 1.1 miles away. Its only a bit over a mile to Interstate 495. And this home is in one of the best school districts in Montgomery County. Other good thing about this location is, Santa has been known to ride by on a firetruck, waving at the front door of this house. Recent updates in last 2 years: Refrigerators in kitchen & lower level kitchenette, 75 gallon hot water, Attic level Air Conditioner.
