Boasting an impeccable location within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants in Spring Valley, Westbard Square, and Friendship Heights, while providing a tranquil setting - with a spacious and lush grassy backyard - for easy living and entertaining. ​Featuring six bedrooms, including a basement in-law suite, three-and-one half bathrooms, and classic details, such as original hardwood floors and a handsome wood-burning fireplace.
