9215 Long Branch Pkwy

The spring flowers are blooming in the terraced gardens of this Long Branch charmer, a haven for those who love to extend their everyday home life into the outdoors. A front porch with a swing, a screen porch off to the side, a back deck, and a covered porch on one of the two outbuildings provide many outdoor places to relax, visit with the neighbors, and watch the seasons change. Inside, this is a turnkey property. It has freshly refinished original hardwood floors, an updated bathroom with a glass bathtub screen, and a big, fabulous kitchen built onto the back of the house. Stainless appliances, granite countertops, soft-close cabinetry, classic grey-and-white styling and a generous table-space layout make this kitchen the heart of the home. Two bedrooms and one full bath are upstairs, and in the basement you'll find a cozy finished space with built-in bookshelves and a bar, perfect for a screening room or an office. A second full bath and full-sized washer and dryer are just off the rec room. The back yard has been terraced and extensively planted with bulbs, groundcovers, and perennials. Two outbuildings sit at the rear of the property--one was used by the current owners as a home office (rustic, but adorable!), and the other as a well organized toolshed/workbench. A third small shed sits closer to the house, perfect for lawnmower storage. Tall wooden fencing creates a private oasis in the back, while the street-facing front presents a warm welcome on this small, quiet street. Long Branch is a gem of a neighborhood, just inside the Beltway but tucked away in a quiet, green dell. Long Branch-Wayne Local Park is at the end of the block, and the vibrant Long Branch neighborhood is home to an incredible variety of restaurants. The nearness of the Beltway and the new Purple line make this a great commuter location for all. Is this the one for you?
