Beautifully renovated, spacious, super bright, and in a highly-desired location, this Kent/Palisades dream home is not to be missed. Comprised of 3425 finished square feet, this sun-filled charmer includes 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, fully windowed lower level rec room, in-law suite with kitchenette, entry/sitting room with wood-burning fireplace, eat-in kitchen, gym space, excellent interior and exterior storage, and an adorable and extremely useful accessory building (studio/office). The hilltop siting affords incredible southern views over neighboring homes & into VA, tons of natural light through the many large & all double-pane windows & glass doors, desirable privacy, and drainage advantages. And, if you prefer to skip the front stairs, it's no problem - you could choose the rear alley entry, which provides very convenient access with limited stairs, as well as private parking for up to 3 cars. The extra large, level, fully fenced-in yard, along with the huge and partially covered deck, offer a private and spacious retreat, perfect for playing, entertaining, gardening and grilling. The lot also provides more than enough space for a big addition, if desired, while still leaving plenty of area for all your outside activities. And starting just 2 blocks away are the many acclaimed restaurants, shops and amenities of Palisades plus many parks, trails and the Potomac River. Recent significant renovations ($140k+) include: kitchen (2026), primary bathroom (2026), in-law suite bathroom and kitchenette (2026), roof (2022), upper level & accessory dwelling HVACs (2022), hall bathroom (2022), on-demand hot water heater (2022), hardwood floor refinishing (2026), interior painting, fixtures & hardware (2026) and lead remediation (2022). (Prior to moving in, the sellers tested for lead in the paint, water and soil; all issues discovered were remediated.) Also, this home holds an interesting piece of history, having briefly been the home to a Secretary of State, and includes an old connection to the White House switchboard. This is truly a home you'll fall in love with. Attend an open house or schedule a private showing to experience it first-hand!
