A Lyon Village gem! Step into the charm and character of this beautifully preserved 1929 Spanish Bungalow, offering 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and just under 3,900 square feet of inviting living space. Rich in architectural detail, the home showcases classic white stucco walls, a red terracotta tile roof, graceful arched doorways, and elegant ornamental ironwork, creating a warm, timeless ambiance from the moment you arrive.

Inside, exquisite craftsmanship blends seamlessly with thoughtful updates. The welcoming living room features soaring 11.5-foot ceilings, dramatic Palladian windows, and a stunning kiva-style fireplace, while a gracious formal dining room sets the stage for memorable gatherings. The cozy family room with custom built-ins opens through French doors to a private patio, perfect for effortless indoor-outdoor living.

At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen offers top-of-the-line appliances, an expansive island, abundant storage, a pantry, and a charming breakfast area framed by a bay window and arched entry. The main level also includes two bedrooms—one ensuite—providing flexible living options, along with a stylish powder room.

Upstairs, the serene primary suite features a fireplace, walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and double vanity. Two additional bedrooms—one with a delightful window seat—share a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a whimsical hidden playroom adds character. A conveniently located laundry room completes the upper level.

Additional highlights include hardwood floors, new carpeting, a terracotta-tiled lower level with ample storage, a two-car garage, and a private, landscaped yard—just blocks to Clarendon’s shops, dining, Metro, and more.
