Totally renovated in 2004, this thoughtfully laid out home features all the right upgrades-an open-concept main floor, master suite, central air and replacement windows?without sacrificing original charm, like the turned center staircase with wide landing, pretty woodwork and intact rear stairs. The main floor is warm and inviting, and not just due to the statement-piece fireplace-although it certainly helps. The living area features high ceilings with recessed lighting, oversized windows with custom wood shutters and hardwood floors that flow into the dining room, which connects to the kitchen via a breakfast bar. The huge kitchen has ceramic tile floors, maple cabinetry galore, stainless steel appliances, a double-basin stainless steel sink, additional prep space on a center island, and the real centerpiece: a custom-built bar complete with space for wine fridge or kegerator, open shelving and tap display. Just off the kitchen is a mudroom with a convenient half bath and washer and dryer. There are three bedrooms on the second floor, including the master suite with bay window, hardwood floors and good closet space. The en-suite bath, through a space-saving pocket door, features ceramic tile floor and wall surround, walk-in shower with frameless glass door and granite-topped vanity. The other two bedrooms are nicely sized; one has a pretty bay window and the other has a huge closet. They share a hall bath with ceramic tile floors, large window and crisp white ceramic tile tub surround that pops against the cool blue-gray walls. There are two additional bedrooms upstairs that get great natural light; either could work well as a home office, media room or home gym. The full basement with good ceiling height and painted cement floors is clean and decidedly uncreepy, so could easily be used for something other than storage. The awesome rear yard with stone pavers and planting beds along the perimeter will make you want to hang outside nine months out of the year; there's plenty of room for a patio set, grill, firepit and all your friends. In an ideal West Mt. Airy location, this home is convenient to Weaver's Way Co-op, Carpenter Lane Train Station and shopping and dining along Germantown Ave.
