for $825,000 with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, 1 half bath. This 2,445 square foot home was built in 1949 on a lot size of 0.3462.

10/10 LOCATION! Very rare opportunity to be in the $1.5-2M classic Narrowmoor West Slope neighborhood! This mid-century gem blends timeless architectural character with sweeping panoramic views.

Relax in the inviting living room, anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, or gather in the bright, cheery kitchen illuminated by a central skylight. Upstairs features two bedrooms, a 3/4 bath (tub was removed so space there to replace), elevated views, and a lighted, easy-access attic for storage. The lower level rec room with its own fireplace, 3/4 bath, and den, serves as the ultimate guest, or in-law suite. Extending from the street above and to the street below across a rare 1/3+ acre lot, the property boasts professionally sculpted landscapes, expansive outdoor living spaces, and an impressive, nearly 1,000-sq-ft garage/shop setup.
