Imagine pulling up to 1346 Somerset Place NW on a quiet afternoon. The street is calm and lined with trees, and the first thing you notice is the oversized front porch framing a sweeping front yard. With a Cherry Blossom and Japanese Maple in bloom, it is the kind of porch where you immediately want to sit down with a cup of coffee and watch the neighborhood go by. Step through the front door and you are greeted by warm hardwood floors underfoot and light flowing across the main floor. The living room opens seamlessly into the dining area, anchored by a cozy fireplace that makes the space feel instantly like home. Moving toward the back, the kitchen opens directly to a quiet rear yard. Out here, a new brick path leads you through a private garden enclosed by tall arborvitae, where a mature pear tree offers fresh fruit every season. Step across the yard and you reach a detached garage outfitted with its own new roof, auto-opener, and built-in storage. Heading upstairs, newer carpet brings a soft, comfortable feel to the bedroom level. Sunlight fills the three bedrooms, including a calm primary suite with its own full bath. Take the stairs up one more flight and the home reveals its best secret. You step into a bright attic loft with soaring ceilings, where sunlight pours through two skylights onto a wall of custom built-in bookshelves. With dual-zone HVAC and a brand-new roof overhead, this top-floor retreat stays just as comfortable and worry-free as the rest of the home.
