Turn-of-the-Century Kensington Colonial

Just off Connecticut Avenue in Kensington, the first thing that greets people at this turn-of-the-century home is the low-slung wraparound porch with a swing. Through the front door is the living room with a wood-burning brick fireplace, and then past a set of pocket doors, the dining room has a bay with a paned glass door on one side and glass doors on the other, both leading onto the porch. Perhaps the most impressive part of the house is its extensive kitchen, occupying two rooms with an integrated stovetop and sink beneath floating cabinets in one area and the fridge around the corner, united by tiled floors, extensive cabinetry and abundant granite counter space. The adjacent breakfast area has shelves built into the double-wide window. The house also has a garage.
