17 Cedar St

YES! One of "those" houses on one of "those" streets! Have you ever heard, "They just don't make them like they used to"? In some respects, they do! For once, simplicity and ease are underone roof. 17 Cedar has longevity with the floorplan flow at 107 years young, "impressive" is the word to use when stepping into "living" at 17 Cedar Street. Classic charm is married to flexible space across all four levels. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street with a welcoming front porch complete with wainscotting on the ceiling, comfort, character, and room to grow is found right here, oh so close to King Street Metro, VRE, Amtrak, Old Town, Del Ray, Whole Foods (daily even if you'd like!), and the Blue Park. The main level features a thoughtful layout connecting with a front door sight line that's the envy of new construction. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are open but maintaindistinct spaces. Check out the floorplan in the photos to see precisely. A fireplace anchors the front living room, while the separate dining room looks out onto the back deck. The kitchen opens toward the living area, ideal for staying connected while hosting or multitasking. The kitchen also opens to the back deck for littles running in and out in the spring and fall and for grilling ease. An office, den (or bedroom with a door) is located just off the entry equipped with oak built ins and a half bath sits between the kitchen and the basement stairway. Sometimes those powder rooms are a real lifesaver for all. Upstairs offers four or three bedrooms, depending on the versatile primary connected space which can be used as a study, office, closet, nursery, work out room, you decide. The space is LARGER so it's not a postage stamp like many of those newer houses' fourth bedrooms! Connected to the primary, this space is a metaphor for just how easy it is to live here. The primary is connected to a fabulous ensuite bath complete with a skylight over the shower, BIG closet (!) and the full sized washer and dryer. If the front porch does not conjure calm at the end of the day or a chill weekend respite, the soaking tub sure does. The finished attic level is a flexible space ideal for your imaginations: perhaps a playroom, reading area, or hobby zone, with generous built-in storage throughout. The walls are a beautiful raw pine paneling. The attic playroom space is carpeted enhancing the living space. Additionally, an electric baseboard heater makes the space usable regardless of the season. COZY and COMFY for all of the hats this space could wear. The unfinished basement stays dry year-round and provides excellent space for a home gym, workshop, or additional storage. NOTICE: This house is a sturdy solid brick 1918 constructed masterpiece. See it in all its glory in this lower level. Not one bit sexy but the true example of 17 Cedar's longevity and staying power. Outdoors, the front porch is perfect for morning coffee or a casual dinner, and saying "Hey" to all the Neighbors and Passers-by. The rear deck extends the living space into the enclosed backyard with beautiful landscaping and a manageable lawn. While there is no off-street parking, street parking is readily available, and there is indeed a curb cut already from ALX City on the east side of the property line. SIMPLE and EASY has been the theme here and this cub cut is yet another example of why. The permission is already in place, and if you need that driveway, Go-For-It! The lot size is 6,500 square feet: Think expansion over the back dining room if you require more living space. The house can indeed grow as needs evolve. Located in the heart of Rosemont, 17 Cedar is just blocks from King Street Metro, Old Town, Whole Foods, VRE, and Amtrak. Nearby schools include Naomi L. Brooks Elementary, and commuters will appreciate easy access to 495, 395, and National Airport. A piece of Americana resides in Rosemont at 17 Cedar Street.
