NEW PRICE! New year, new home! This lovely 3 bed / 2.5 bath is currently the best value in all of 22308! Welcome to 8111 Karl Rd, located in the quaint neighborhood of Kirk and the greater Waynewood Elementary school district. The charming curb appeal of this delightful home is accentuated by extensive landscaping and a welcoming front porch. A nature lovers paradise, the front and back yards have been thoughtfully developed with native trees, flowers, grasses, and plantings. There are multiple outdoor spaces to relax and embrace your surroundings, from the covered front porch to the brick back patio, where you can enjoy the fish pond, or ascend the timber and flagstone steps to the cozy fire-pit area. The original layout of the main level has been reconfigured to create additional living space and storage; as you enter this home through the front door, you are greeted with a surprisingly spacious, bright & airy living area. The beautiful hardwood floors are accentuated by a fresh neutral color palate, and flow from the open concept living area through to all three bedrooms. This level offers versatile space for home office, a reading / study area, or expanded living room and features an energy efficient hybrid wood-burning stove to add warmth and comfort on those chilly nights. The spacious dining area features custom built-ins and easily accommodates a table for 6-8, a great space for entertaining, as it is flanked by the kitchen, living room, and views to the backyard & patio. As you make your way down the hall to the three bedrooms, you will find a large storage area, which has been functioning as a coat closet with abundant storage; it could also be used as a separate home office. The spacious primary bedroom is ensuite with a walk-in shower. Each bedroom features refinished hardwood floors, ceiling fans, and is freshly painted. The retro hall bath is shared by the other two bedrooms and is easily accessible for guests. The 2007 kitchen renovation included granite counters, tile backsplash, replacement cabinetry, and white appliances. Additional updates include a roof replacement (2019 - est), hot water heater replacement (2018 - est), A/C replacement (2018 - est), and updated electrical panel. The lower level is an enormous recreational room with tons of potential and a half-bath with a separate side entrance. You will also find a large utility room with laundry, storage, and workshop area. Please be sure to check out the interactive floorplan or stop by the house!
