A hop, skip and a jump from the Tenley Metro and the shops and restaurants of upper Connecticut Avenue such as Comet Ping Pong, CVS, and Politics and Prose, 5335 Nebraska Avenue is a well-loved and well-tended home ready for its next owner. From the front lawn’s mature plantings and flagstone walk to the graceful rooms with 9-foot ceilings, to the enchanting, fenced backyard, this four bedroom, two and half bathroom home bespeaks solidity and comfort. With an eat-in kitchen, refinished original hardwood flooring, wood-burning fireplace, screened porch, deck, central air-conditioning, and one-car garage with a second parking spot along the alley, this 1931 house retains its period charm alongside tasteful updates added through the years. A Community Garden just down the alley, open to all neighbors and known as “the secret garden” is an unexpected bonus. The scene of seasonal parties and basketball games, it also offers space to relax and even to help tend to the gardens.. If you’re seeking a lovely home with well-proportioned rooms, a secret garden unique to this neighborhood, and an unbeatable location, this one is it.
