349 Tennessee Ave NE Washington, DC 20002

Listing details for 349 Tennessee Ave NE, Washington, DC 20002 : Warm Weather is coming soon, and so is this Hot Deal: Classic Capitol Porchfront, designed by A.H. Beers (the 'Father of the Porchfront') in 1916 along with its nearby neighbors, on one of DC's most iconic Tree-lined State Avenues, only blocks to Lincoln Park, the Social Center of Capitol Hill. A commanding curb appeal, enhanced by classic Stone and Vine retaining wall, and wrought iron fencing, frame the house and the yard with an urbane and ubiquitous Crepe Myrtle and lush green lawn. On the Main Floor, the original, traditional, functional floor plan has been preserved with hardwood floors, an entrance hall, with paths to the kitchen and to the bright, west facing Living Room. Through a wide doorway, a formal dining room has an updated/classic chandelier, and east facing windows for bright breakfasts and brilliant bruchs. An ample galley kitchen, with stone countertops, and newer stainless cabinets, include an enclosed 'porch' which holds a pantry cabinet for anything and everything a competent chef could conceive. Upstairs, the original floor plan is kept, again, hardwood floors, a rear landing, and updated bath. One big bedroom in the back with ceiling fan fixture; another in the front; and the traditional 'Trunk Room'; perfect for a guest room, an office, or a playroom, completes the original plan of the home. Add in the finished basement, accessible via stairway from the kitchen, and you have a large family room or den, which can double as a guest room, with a full updated shower bath, a laundry area, new utilities, and extra storage. Off the rear of the home, a rear, east facing deck with room for a grill, has steps going down to a private back yard, more than large enough for entertaining or for being entertained by a pet, a child or just yourself. Newer utilities, newer appliance, and new paint have made this grand lady even more attractive. Add in its location, its walkscore, its propinquity to Maury Elementary, and you have not just a house but a home for now and the years to come.
