Meet Polly Meet Susan

Built in 1913 and thoughtfully expanded in 1993, this home combines the best of old and new. The welcoming front porch leads to the original part of the house which has high ceilings, original heart of pine flooring and classic details. The expansion features high ceilings, clean lines and modern styling. With an office, a formal living room, a music room, a formal dining room, and a comfortable kitchen/family room, the first floor provides lots of different living spaces. The island kitchen is open to the family room, and provides a welcoming space for informal living and dining. From the family room and the formal dining room, you can access the expansive rear yard. Upstairs features five bedrooms, including a master with a fireplace, tons of closet space and a large master bath. The lower level has a two car garage, laundry and storage. The location is truly special. 79th Street continues under the Clara Barton Parkway to the C &O canal, putting all of the pleasures of the Potomac River just seconds away. Additionally, two parks with tennis courts are close by. The Palisades Pool is within walking distance. This is one of the few neighborhoods where kids can (and do) run out and play together all day long. At the top of the street is the Cabin John center which has a market, natural food co-op, cleaners, post office and restaurant. Cabin John is a convenient commute to just about anywhere via MacArthur Blvd, Clara Barton and George Washington Parkways; 495 and 270 are also close by. A rush hour Ride-On bus goes to the Bethesda Metro. The location can’t be beat!!!
