5 Things I Love About My New Listing at 3315 Pendleton Drive

My newest listing is a contemporary house located just one mile from the Wheaton Metro Station on the Red Line and all the shopping near there. It is also around the corner from Wheaton-Claridge Park and just a short drive from Wheaton Regional Park. My prep team and I have been working hard to bring this home to market today, so I wanted to share the 5 Things I Love most about it.

1. The impressive brick fireplace, which is a dominant architectural feature of the property. In researching the history of the house and its Hammond Hill neighborhood, I discovered that the brick was reclaimed from older homes in Alexandria, Virginia, during construction.

2. The original wood cabinets. There is something comforting and warm about their patina, and they just go with the house.

3. The yard, with its size (9,176 sq ft), its privacy, and its peacefulness.  While prepping this property for sale, I discovered a Star Magnolia tree, Forsythia, Eastern Red Bud, Hemlocks, Pines, and Cedars.

4. The vaulted ceilings. Design in 1950 by architect Charles M. Goodman, famous for his design of the original National Airport terminal in Washington, DC, along with many other residential developments, every room in this cool mid-century modern home features angles and volume.

5. The windows, walls and walls of windows. This home is flooded with natural light and one feels connected to nature from the inside. It is a cheerful house.

I hope whoever buys it loves this home as much as I do. I am holding public open houses on Saturday, April 26, 2014, 2:00-4:00 p.m. and Sunday, April 27, 2014, 1:00-4:00 p.m.  Please come to tour this home in person and learn more about its history and potential.

Sunny Outlook

A sunny front door leads to a sunny outlook after a long, cold, snowy winter.

Something as simple as painting your front door can make all the difference in curb appeal, not to mention how you feel when you walk into your home every day.
