Colonial

Enjoy cooling porch breezes this Summer in this roomy 1905 Colonial with a wrap-around porch! It stands tall and inviting as you round the corner of the street. The original 4 square had an addition added to give a really large owner suite and a roomy family room. The living room and separate dining room have bamboo floors that shine. The granite kitchen with recent stainless appliances boasts lots of kitchen countertop space and cabinets. Notice the original tin ceiling to the kitchen with wood surround - this was retained when the home was renovated. A new gas stove is featured, along with a dishwasher and built-in microwave. The large family room with bamboo flooring has a large half bathroom with space to expand to a full for a guest suite when needed. There's a shower too that also has space for a washer/dryer here. Upstairs are two large bedrooms and a full bathroom plus a huge owner suite with a bathroom and walk-in closet. Two zoned gas heating and central air conditioning are featured. This home is move-in ready with some finishing touches needed that can come later. It's a lot of square feet for the dollar! Mount Rainier was Sustainable Maryland Certified in 2012 (one of only 4 towns then), after passing a "Going Green" ordinance, and has renewed its certification several times since. It's also a Historic District, allowing for State Tax Credits for approved repairs/upgrades to buildings. It offers small-town appeal in an urban setting that is a short ride away from Capitol Hill and the White House. Local Citizens take pleasure in the revitalization taking place around the City and the active engagement that promotes local pride there. You are a short stroll from the locally famous Glut food cooperative (since 1969) and Joe's Movement Emporium (dance, concerts, yoga, children's pre, and post-school programs), and the Arts District that stretches along the Route 1 corridor. Artists working from home in the City do not need a special license to work on and sell art from their home studios. Walk to Pennyroyal Station with New American Cuisine, Dodah's Kitchen Vegan restaurant, and Potomac Fish House. Artist studios are just down the street. You are a short drive from Pizza Paradiso, Franklin's Brew Pub, and Busboys and Poets. At nearby Fort Lincoln, there's a major shopping center and more restaurants anchored by a Costco. It's just over a mile from West Hyattsville Metro (Green Line) and with bus service nearby on Route 1 connecting to the Rhode Island Red Line Metro, and public transportation at that station. For bikers and nature lovers, there are miles of bike/hiking trails in nearby river parks that follow the Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River and connect into Washington D.C. like the Bladensburg Waterfront Park. Hurry over to see how this house has room to spread out in a Historic town full of charm and right next to the District of Columbia
