Featured Property of the Week: 3414 Rodman Street NW

“Perfectly nestled on a quiet side-street in the heart of Cleveland Park, 3414 Rodman Street NW is a classic porch-front farmhouse. With original wavy pane glass windows (including six over six, six over one, and three over one windows), French doors, built-ins, brass doorknobs, and original hardwood floors, this home is filled with historic details yet is fully updated for modern living. The front yard, with mature plantings, leads to a welcoming front porch which is ideal for relaxing while enjoying the beautiful views of Rodman Street. The formal foyer greets you as you enter the home and opens to the living room which is bathed in sunlight and is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The dining room is open to the formal dining room and features a charming custom built-in bench and two exposures overlooking the garden. The updated, eat-in kitchen provides crisp cream-white cabinets (with built-in draw organizers), white quartz counters, a farmhouse sink, gas cooking and stainless appliances. The breakfast nook overlooks the peaceful rear garden and has a custom built-in bookcase for cookbooks or extra storage. There is direct access to the back yard through the breakfast room. The large, level and fully-fenced backyard is surrounded by and anchored by large, majestic trees. A detached one-car garage currently acts as a large storage shed but could be returned to use as parking. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms, with original heart pine floors and paneled doors — further lending to the home’s character. The primary bedroom is oversized, with two closets and private access to a balcony overlooking the backyard. The ceramic tile full bath has an original medicine cabinet and window. The lower level provides a third bedroom with en-suite updated bath and private entrance to the rear garden.”
