Tucked away on a quiet street just beyond Historic Washington’s downtown, this “Small House that Lives Big'' was custom built in 1983 from a plan featured in Better Homes & Gardens, giving it an open, airy layout that’s ideal for enjoying the expansive English Landscape gardens filling the 1.2-acre lot. At just over 1,500 SF, this 2/1.5 home with additional sunroom and open-concept Living/Dining/Kitchen with fireplace balances cozy with spacious thanks to plenty of natural light flooding in from skylights in the pitched roof and well-placed windows throughout. When built, this home was slightly altered from the original plans to better suit the owners but can easily be updated or reconfigured. Along with the sunroom, a rear deck overlooks the grounds of this uniquely assembled lot that includes dual entrances to the property and frontage on three streets, well-maintained flower gardens with a wide variety of native blooms and ornate garden structures, along with six outbuildings.
