Do not miss out on the opportunity to make this home yours, it is truly one of a kind. * Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac corner of the sought-after Kent Gardens neighborhood, this bright and character-filled Cape Cod offers a welcome retreat from the pace of life in the DMV while still being close to it all. Colorful, charming, and a bit whimsical, the home unfolds with more space than its exterior suggests, offering five bedrooms, three full baths, and a collection of comfortable living areas that have evolved over time. * What was once a formal living room now serves as a relaxed music and conversation room. And the large family room addition with its pitched ceiling creates an inviting gathering space that flows from the heart of the home - the fully renovated eat-in kitchen (2020) which was designed for both daily life and easy entertaining. The main level includes three bedrooms and a full bath, while upstairs you will find the primary suite and an additional bedroom. * The basement is a blank slate – currently it flexes easily for recreation, hobbies, guests, work, or storage – and it is ready for life as it knows it, or a total refresh. The home includes thoughtful updates and improvements as well as good bones. They don’t make them like they used to, and its good bones offer a great starting point for the next owner’s visions. * Outside, the nearly one-third acre lot offers a variety of places to settle in, from the screened back porch to the wraparound front deck to the yard itself, which naturally divides into different gathering areas. Playing in the fully-fenced back yard, making s'mores around the fire pit in the side yard or watching the world go by in the front yard - the options are endless. The cul-de-sac setting provides a quiet, low-traffic environment often used for neighborhood gatherings and games, while nearby access to the Pimmit Run Trail and the W&OD Trail connects the home easily to outdoor recreation and regional destinations. The location also offers convenient access to Metro, major commuter routes to DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland, and is within the McLean High School pyramid, including Kent Gardens Elementary School and its French immersion program. * Over $250,000 in improvements have been made over the years, including a dormer and bath addition (2000), three porches (2006), a great room addition (2010), and a full kitchen and primary bath renovation (2020), along with touch-up painting, landscaping and hardscaping (2026). Other important ages include three HVAC systems (2010, 2017, and 2026) and a new hot water heater (2026). * Disclosure: camera and “OK Google” devices are present in the home; a portion of the lot lies within a Flood Zone though the house itself is not and flood insurance is not required; a Resource Protection Area (RPA) exists on the property. *Please click on the movie camera icon in the listing "banner" to access a Matterport 3D video to tour the home.
