Lovingly preserved and cared for, this 6 BR, 3 BA, 2940 sq ft beautiful historical home on 0.43 acre lot set back from University Boulevard in picturesque Kensington Heights is your opportunity to OWN A SLICE OF HISTORY! Originally built as A FARM HOUSE IN 1928 and expanded in 1935 to be run as a general store, the expansive WRAPAROUND FRONT PORCH is perfect for family reunions, crab feasts, or for just watching the world go by from your peaceful porch swing, tucked behind old yew trees. Enter into an expansive living room with hardwood floors, a wood burning fireplace, and French doors that pull the peacefulness of the porch into the indoors. The first floor dining room with a large bay window gives the feeling of being next door to a park, and the galley kitchen in the back has updated stainless appliances, granite countertops, gas cooking, farmhouse-style white cabinets, and a convenient combination washer/dryer. Two spacious bedrooms complete the first floor, together with an updated full bathroom with walk-in shower, linen closet, and louvered window shutters that provide both privacy and natural light. Crown molding throughout the first floor, and period trim framing doors and windows throughout the house accent the timeless beauty of this well-loved home, while the modern touches of replacement windows and updated appliances provide the conveniences needed in today's world. Walk out from the kitchen to an INTIMATE BACK PORCH, perfect for a quiet cup of coffee to start the day, while enjoying the FULLY FENCED BACKYARD fringed with flowering hydrangeas and access to the side-entry driveway, large enough for several cars. Upstairs, you'll find bedrooms three, four, and five, each with plentiful closet space and its own unique charm, and another full bathroom, this time with dual vanities. Bedroom number six is the OWNER'S SUITE that spans the front of the house, with a large sitting area, an ensuite primary bathroom with dual vanities, and a walk-in closet with access to the attic, where WHOLE-HOUSE AUTOMATIC FANS lower electricity bills in the hot summer months. Fireworks on the Fourth of July are perfectly framed through the windows of this bedroom. The CELLAR, accessed through old-fashioned storm doors just off the back porch, offers plentiful storage and a workshop bench ideal for the home woodworker. All of this sited in a prime Kensington location, walking distance to the Kensington Farmer's Market, Antique Row, and Kensington's historic downtown area, full of restaurants and shops, with easy access to all major commuting corridors in the area. Ride-on buses are steps from your door, Metro and MARC trains are easy walking distance, and I-270 and 495 are just minutes away. This well-maintained classic beauty is ready for its next owner!
