Quintessential Del Ray living! Situated on a quiet & picturesque street, this 2 bedroom townhouse will charm you from the moment you walk in with its beautifully refinished hardwood floors, large bay window and abundance of natural light.

The fully-finished lower level includes a spacious recreation/family room, as well as the laundry/utility/storage room which walks out to the rear patio. In addition to all of this, the house was just freshly painted and has a brand new roof! Its outstanding location—within walking distance to many of Del Ray's beloved restaurants, shops, parks, gyms and even Swing's coffee shop— is only just 3 miles to National Airport and a quick drive to all that DC has to offer!
