Smartly Renovated Colonial

 Welcome to 3742 Appleton ST NW; a smartly renovated center-hall colonial home located on a coveted block of Washington's Wakefield neighborhood.

Wakefield (sometimes mistakenly referred to as Van Ness or included in the North Cleveland Park neighborhood) is triangularly shaped with a western border of Nebraska Avenue NW, a southern border of Ablemarle Street and an Eastern border of Connecticut Avenue NW. This cozy neighborhood full of tree-lined streets is in the heart of upper northwest Washington and truly offers convenient living.

Stroll out the door two blocks to the west and you'll find yourself at the entrance to the Tenleytown Metrorail station (red line). Smart commercial growth around the metro is anchored by a Whole Foods Market, ACE Hardware Store, Best Buy , Guapos, Starbucks, CVS and many other shops and restaurants. DC's newest aquatic center, the magificent Wilson Aquatic Center, is around the corner and open to (and free!) for all DC residents. Click here for more information . Bus lines abound on Wisconsin Avenue NW, Nebraska Avenue NW and Connecticut Avenue NW. Need to get downtown or to Capitol Hill in a hurry? Car access to Rock Creek Park is a breeze.

And if being steps to one metro station is not enough, just a short stroll north on Wisconsin Avenue NW is Friendship Heights which features another metro station, another Whole Foods, Mazza Gallery , Chevy Chase Pavilion, Shops at Chevy Chase and a brand new Bloomingdales. This gem of an area is loaded with high end shopping and great dining options.

Inside 3742 Appleton Street you will find a home that has been meticulously renovated and modernized throughout. Major projects include new plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling systems, all new windows, a brand new kitchen, a fully finished lower level complete with a new bathroom and laundry area, a renovated full bathroom on the main level and a renovated full hall bathroom on the upper level.

Finishing touches like new door hardware, custom window treatments (all of which convey), new light fixtures, recessed lighting (most on dimmer switches), new carpet on the lower level and main level den and updates to the exterior were completed to the highest of standards. It almost goes without saying that the hardwood floors were refinished and lovely paint colors abound.
