Property Description

Quintessential Westgate Dutch Colonial - this 3BR classic home is the perfect place to begin your next chapter. Bring your big ideas to make this your own. Generous space, great natural light, and the ideal place to create something truly your own. Imagine dinner parties, first holidays, dogs racing through the yard, and slow Sunday mornings on the screened porch. With a large, corner lot, the front curb appeal is delightfly with a canopy of mature trees, welcoming drive and stone walkways. A classic center hall entry opens to formal living and dining rooms, where a fireplace anchors the living space and large windows bring warmth throughout the day. The screened porch extends the living room outdoors, overlooking the oversized fenced side yard -- ideal for entertaining friends under café lights, morning coffee with the windows open, or gardening to your hearts delight. The dining room connects directly to the expanded kitchen, offering functional flow, an island workspace, and room for a full breakfast table where everyday life naturally gathers. Just beyond, the den / family room addition creates flexible living space perfect for movie nights, working from home, a playroom, or simply having room to spread out. Easily hosts guests by using this as a guest room, with a powder room and privacy. Upstairs, three light-filled bedrooms and two full baths provide a practical and comfortable layout across two levels with large closets, wood floors, and sunlight pouring through oversized windows. The spaces feel welcoming, functional, and easy to grow into over time. The lower level offers even more opportunity, with laundry, a rec room, and a rough full bath already in place and ready for future customization -- whether as a gym, guest suite, media room, creative studio, or additional hangout space. This is the kind of special opportunity buyers love -- an expanded home with tremendous potential, an oversized lot, and the ability to personalize thoughtfully over time while investing in a location and footprint that are increasingly hard to find. Located in the “Westbrook Neighborhood,” known for its friendly, walkable feel and strong sense of community. Just two blocks from the Westbrook Elementary playground, open fields, and beloved neighborhood sledding hill. Steps to Spring Valley (DC), Friendship Heights Metro, Capital Crescent Trail, neighborhood parks, shops, and restaurants. Inbounds for Westbrook, Westland, and B-CC schools, along with Little Falls Swimming Club.
