About 1601 N Portal Dr NW

Bring your architect, contractor and vision to this mid-century modern home waiting for your personal touch. Spanning more than 5,000 square feet on two levels - 2,000 square feet each on the main level and ground floor and an additional 1,200 square feet in an attached accessory dwelling unit - the possibilities are endless. This home - at the entrance of North Portal Estates, a neighborhood of 200+ homes in the greater Colonial Village community - also boasts an unheard-of one-quarter of an acre.

Currently configured as a 6 bedroom, 6.5 bath home with formal living room, dining room, sunroom and two-car garage - but new owner can make changes and redesign the space for what best suits their needs. Showings by appointment only. Owner is a licensed real estate agent.
