Welcome to 2802 1st Rd N, a classic brick home with an incredible large, flat yard in the heart of Lyon Park. This is a rare opportunity to make a turn-key single family home within blocks to “all things Clarendon” yours. The home starts with a welcoming covered front porch, black shutters and decorated window boxes for ultimate curb appeal. As you enter, you immediately sense the balance of old and new that the home offers. Rich hardwood floors, an arched doorway, antique door knobs are all found inside, yet the home offers that desirable open floor plan and multiple flex spaces for modern living. The living room is anchored by a gas fireplace and features large windows allowing great natural light to fill the main level. There's an eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and great storage. Behind the kitchen is an awesome flex room that connects to the backyard. This space would work well as a family room, home office, home gym, play room or a fantastic mudroom. Imagine hosting parties out back on the paver patio under the pergola - all while having easy access to entertaining space and the kitchen! Two spacious bedrooms, a timelessly updated full bath, and multiple storage spaces completed the main level. Upstairs is the primary suite with a private bath and large walk-in closet with custom shelves. The natural light in the primary suite is remarkable, and you can enjoy views of the backyard each morning. The attic is easily accessed through the primary suite and has great storage capacity. Updated light fixtures, motorized shades, fresh paint are just a few of the notable features. As the weather warms up, relax, play, entertain, garden, or just simply enjoy what the private and fully fenced backyard offers. Head downtown for fun or work with many commuting options, including < 1 mile to the Clarendon Metro, easy access to major roadways like Rt 50 & 395, bus systems and more.
