“SPECTACULAR SHEPHERD PARK DETACHED HOME ON GORGEOUS LANDSCAPED LOT NEAR ROCK CREEK NATIONAL PARK. Don’t miss this truly special opportunity to become the new owners of this stylish and functional 1951 brick home that spans 3 well configured levels. And while pictures say a thousand words, the many unique spaces of this property show even better in person, and are certainly worth your time to visit. This incredible home is nestled privately among the peaceful greenery of well maintained mature trees and colorful landscaping, yet bathes in natural daylight with its many windows with south/east exposure. It has been lovingly and meticulously cared for, and thoughtfully improved plus modernized with valuable updates by its longtime owners — who have nurtured this home into the personable and sophisticated ‘adult’ with great character, similarly to how a parent carefully and proudly raises their child. Among the many things they have enjoyed about this home are watching colorful sunsets to the west over Rock Creek Park; entertaining friends in the indoor and outdoor gathering spaces; listening to the morning songbirds over coffee; gardening and being at peace in the amazing yard; and connecting with welcoming and diverse neighbors in the coveted Shepherd Park community. The convenient location makes work commutes and errands a snap, and easy walks to neighborhood schools, playgrounds, recreation fields/courts, and religious places of worship. It is just as easy to access and enjoy the rich cultural amenities of the city, or scenic nature trails at Rock Creek Park. There are countless ways to walk, bike, take public transportation, or drive to nearby Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Chevy Chase, Bethesda, and the special amenities of the new Walter Reed development. The home reflects a transitional style between midcentury and more classic architecture, blended with modern updates and improvements. Charm oozes from beautiful hardwood floors, crown moldings, large bay windows, a gorgeous mantle adorning a wood burning fireplace.”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
