  Open Sun. 12-4 p.m. — Graham Grossman
  “Completely rehabbed top to bottom in 2015, this beautiful Wardman style home has everything the picky homebuyer could want. Front yard and a porch large enough for rocking chairs. Rear deck perfect for grilling and chilling and a maintenance-free yard with secured parking. Kitchen and dining space laid out for entertaining with space for a large dining table. Enough rooms to have house-guests (or AirBnB visitors?) without feeling cramped, especially thanks to a bedroom space and full bathroom in the basement. Wide open main level with plenty of natural light and a location that’s equally convenient for the car or public transportation commuter. Blocks away from both Anxo and Jackie Lee’s on vibrant Kennedy Street NW, and despite this home’s proximity to Missouri Avenue you won’t hear street noise through the energy-efficient double pane windows.”
