Resting on the quiet end of a cul-de-sac in the close-knit community of Milway Meadows, this five-bedroom split-level home offers comfort and charm, as well as the technology upgrades so essential for today's work-at-home world. Spacious living and dining areas, all with beautiful oak wood floors, flow seamlessly through the open floor plan on the main level. Two sets of prairie-style French doors lead to both an open deck and a living-room-sized screened porch, all in view from the kitchen. Bright and sunny, the eat-in kitchen is the beating heart of this home. The big bay window offers a front-row seat to the goings-on outside and is the perfect spot for a large kitchen table. Updated cabinets feature LED lighting above the durable, hygenic silestone counters. The stainless steel appliances include a large French-door refrigerator, a five-burner gas-fired cooktop and exhaust hood, wall oven and microwave. Upstairs, four bedrooms and two full baths offer a place for everyone, with plenty of closet space. Skylights in the bathrooms add coveted natural light to brighten up the morning routines. One level down, the whitewashed brick fireplace brings the comforts of home to the recently renovated family room. A fifth bedroom is located here, suitable for an office or media room. The large laundry room and storage area includes a back door to the nearly half-acre lot outside. The covered carport and 14x10 storage shed complete the property, which is also zoned to accommodate the addition of a two-car garage and a second-story master suite. Throughout this home, the exterior walls have been insulated for weather and the basement interior walls and ceilings insulated for sound. The house is outfitted with high-speed Verizon FiOS, and the rooms are all hard-wired for gigabit broadband and multimedia, including wiring for 5.1 surround sound in the family room. Topping it all off is the 50-year Energy Star-rated roof (installed in 2009), with solar reflective architectural shingles. It is an easy walk to the outstanding Hollin Meadows Elementary School, the neighborhood swim and tennis club and the Sherwood Hall Regional Library, where a weekly Farmer?s market is held. Nearby, there are plenty of shops and restaurants. Just minutes to historic Old Town, Reagan National Airport and all that the Greater Metro area has to offer.
