Situated on one of the largest lots in North Portal Estates, making it an outdoor oasis, ideal for a pool, large play area or just outdoor living rarely found in NW DC.

The spacious primary suite is a true retreat, boasting hardwood floors, two closets, and an ensuite bathroom with double vanity and walk-in shower. The hall bathroom has a shower tub. The additional bedrooms, each with new carpeting, offer comfort and unique views of the lush treelined streets.
