Updated and expanded storybook Cape Cod with classic curb appeal and two-level addition for modern living.

Split HVAC with separate Nest thermostats on each level, glorious hardwood floors, and spacious fully finished basement with extra storage space. Extra-large, flat backyard with neighboring lofty trees is fully fenced and tastefully landscaped with mature hedges, plantings and more. Right off kitchen is spacious newer deck for outdoor grilling/entertaining.

Sited on a quiet side street with zero vehicle traffic in desirable, tree lined City Park Homes neighborhood of Falls Church, this great house's location is only second to the home's character and charm. The sellers are smitten with the place and having a hard time saying goodbye to the neighbors, “Rose Place has great block parties! The neighborhood hosts events like a Halloween pet costume parade, an Easter egg hunt, and food trucks. Our house is right by a playground. It is literally walking distance to an amazing park (the shady park). Rose Place is a side street in the neighborhood, not a through street and kids playing in the street, learning to ride bikes, etc is daily and easy. Our street neighbors all get along swimmingly, and we often put the garbage cans at the end of the street to have happy hours and pot luck parties. One family hosts an annual crawfish boil. We love our street and neighbors!”
