This residence commands a prime corner in the sought-after neighborhood of Lyon Village. This center hall Colonial maintains its 1938 character - and yet has a brick firmly in this century. The current owners, in 2003, completed a thoughtful addition and renovation - adding an attached 2-car garage, kitchen/family room addition, and creating a true primary bedroom on the upper floor. The home provides 3390 square feet on the main and upper levels, with an additional 625 finished square feet on the lower level. Offering 5 bedrooms and 3 full and 1 half bathrooms. Guests are welcomed into a large foyer, flanked by a spacious living room and formal dining room. The latter with ample light from windows at the front windows, as well as a bay window along the side. This dining room allows for not only a table, but sideboards and display furniture. The living room offers a wood-burning fireplace and access to a main level office. As one proceeds into the home, we find the family room with a wall of glass to the patio - adjoining an oversized kitchen. Here you find ample counters for holiday prep and entertaining, including a large island. The laundry room and a 1/2 bath, as well as storage and access to the 2-car garage, complete the main level. The upper level boasts 4 very large bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. And, we're sited on an 8,422 square foot lot on a pretty and quiet street in the western part of Lyon Village. This end of the neighborhood is closest to the Clarendon Metro, so a short 1/2 mile walk finds you at the metro station and the Clarendon corridor with its shops & restaurants. The home also provides direct access to bicycle trails, and easy access to 66, airports, and GW Parkway.
