Property details
About 519 Somerset Pl NW
This stunning end unit has a modern layout combined with remarkable Federal-style charm. The highly functional main level layout is comfortable for living, relaxing, or entertaining. With a spacious and versatile open living area, large open kitchen with broad counters, and amazing lighting, you will feel right at home when you walk in. It shouldn't go without saying, one of the most understated special features of this home is the location of the guest bathroom on the main level. Unlike many homes in the immediate market area (where the guest bathroom is often situated in the middle of the living room or kitchen - central to the living and dining areas) on the main level; this home has its guest half bathroom thoughtfully placed at the rear of the home. It cannot be overstated that this simple modification provides an enhanced sense of comfort and privacy for both the homeowner and their guests that (almost) no reasonable amount of money could rectify. The intelligent design ensures you can use every square inch of this home effectively, eliminating any wasted space. Furthermore, the living and entertainment area on the main level offers exceptional versatility in its configuration. Whether your preference is for a cozy TV setup or a welcoming space for reading or board games, this layout accommodates various lifestyles, a refreshing departure from the constraints you’ll often find in other mid-century floor plans. Beyond its smart layout, this home features sophisticated modern finishes that are tastefully executed. From the beautiful hardwood floors throughout the main level to the updated flooring on the lower level and upper levels, this home is well done. The main level includes the coveted and very modern open concept living space highlighted by a renovated kitchen, all stainless steel appliances, natural light, and a large peninsula island and bar. The lower level features a very private rear bedroom with a beautifully renovated and accessible en-suite, plus a large and bright front room for an additional family area or office. The upper floor features a rear owner's suite bedroom, a well-finished full bath, and a sunny front bedroom or office with a view of the street. And all areas have deep and very spacious closets! Let's not forget the incredible LOCATION of this home! It's conveniently situated close to numerous eateries, green spaces, playgrounds, community initiatives, nightlife, as well as easy access to transportation. Whether commuting across-town or long distance transportation, you are covered. The home is less than 1 mile (.8 miles) from Takoma Metro, and various bus lines. To put it plainly, this home truly is move-in-ready and will make any buyer a happy homeowner! Please feel free to contact the listing agent if you have any questions or would like to schedule a private showing.
