This captivating colonial home, brimming with grace and character, is set back from the street on a beautiful half-acre lot surrounded by tall, majestic trees. The property features a spacious, private backyard and sunlit rooms throughout. Located on the sought-after Cumberland Avenue in the historic village of Somerset, this charming colonial, built in 1925, has been meticulously updated over the years. It boasts period details, a center hall, a gracious dining room with wainscoting, a chic updated kitchen/family room that opens to decks and a garden, a bright stately living room with a fireplace, a sunroom/study with windows on three sides, and gleaming hardwood floors throughout.
Upstairs, three cheerful bedrooms await, including a hall bath and a master bedroom with a sitting room and bath, as well as a private deck overlooking the backyard. Newly carpeted stairs lead down to the partially finished basement, which includes a recreation room, a large storage closet, a utility room, a laundry room, and access to the one-car garage.
The grounds are an absolute delight! The home is set back 70 feet from the street, offering both front and back yards that provide privacy and beautiful views. There are ample opportunities for children to play and for serene outdoor dining in this magnificent setting.
The Town of Somerset, established in 1907, is a close-knit community with its own private swimming pool, tennis courts, and town hall, as well as its own mayor and town council. Somerset Elementary School, tucked away on a quiet street, has been known for academic excellence for decades.
A short, scenic stroll takes you to the Capital Crescent hiking/biking trail and Norwood Park. The home is also a short walk to fabulous Friendship Heights, with its red line Metro stop, shops, and restaurants. This wonderful offering truly captures the best of all worlds.
