904 W Braddock Rd,

Come home to this welcoming brick abode, originally built in 1947 but carefully and comfortably brought forward into the twenty-first century. Beautiful evergreen plantings surround a lush front lawn and provide a rich adornment to the faade of this charming residence where shutters and flower boxes add to the inviting countenance while a driveway to the side leads to a separate brick garage. Wide archways join the foyer with the living room and dining room where traditional crown and shoe moldings trim the formal areas. Glorious light streams throughout this main level where wood floors and plentiful windows invite the warm sun to permeate. Toast your toes in the winter by the fireplace of one of the two relined chimneys and enjoy the camaraderie of friends around the dining table while delighting in the view of the recent deck through glass doors. An alluring den with ceiling fan, windows all around and a glass door to the enclosed garden provides the perfect spot to curl up with a book, write correspondence, enjoy an evening of television or step out to the enchanting garden. Don't miss the crisp white kitchen with stainless appliances affording generous storage and including a side door to the driveway. And for additional convenience, there is a powder room! The second level has three pleasing bedrooms, each with ceiling fans, and a tiled hall bath. With walk-up stairs to a large attic space, there is the option to pop up additional potential living space. Hours of casual entertainment can be found in the nicely carpeted family room with the second fireplace on the lower level. In addition, a utility room with expansive storage area, utility sources and a washer and dryer await. Completing this level is a full shower bath. But the garden whisks you away from the roomy deck to a serene natural wonderland where cooling grass is surrounded by wide planting beds and a brick patio beckons. The weekend gardener will thoroughly adore this exterior room with just enough to challenge but not overwhelm! Within the past four years, many improvements have been completed including: replaced roofs on the den and garage, replaced garage door opener, installed an irrigation system, replaced the washer, dryer and refrigerator, added a deck, lined the two chimneys and replaced the air conditioning system that includes a conveying warranty. Finally, this location is enviable with close-by schools, churches, restaurants and shopping. Shirlington offers the latter two as well as entertainment with movie and live theater. Mass transportation routes, buses and the Metro are accessible and venturing into the District or Old Town is an easy decision. Come on in! It's HOME!
