Cute Cottage in Vickery Place Has Classic Interiors, Deep Lot

There’s something to be said about keeping to scale with the neighborhood, especially when it’s Vickery Place. This conservation district features lovely Tudors, charming Craftsmans, and classic traditionals that give the neighborhood so much character. And while a lot of homes in this neighborhood have been remodeled, some of them no longer really feel at home in the area. Not 5110 Goodwin, a brand-new listing from Ebby Halliday agent Carolyn Albers Black. While the standing-seam metal roof gives this brick Craftsman home a contemporary edge, everything else about it is an instant classic.

This one-story home built in 1944 has three bedrooms, two full baths, and 1,765 square feet priced at $529,000, which comes out to just less than $300 per square foot. It’s located inside the award-winning Stonewall Jackson Elementary School attendance area, which feeds into J.L. Long Middle School and Woodrow Wilson High School. The updated interiors feature smooth walls, custom wainscoting, hand-scraped hardwood floors, and designer paint. Traditional elements, including built-ins in the living area, look perfectly at home with the more contemporary elements throughout.

There’s a large dining room that connects to the kitchen — perfect for those who like a chef’s table atmosphere during dinner parties. Of course, we love that cool dining room chandelier, too.

The master bedroom, which has its own entry, is a cozy 14 by 13 feet. It feels a little stark, but that could change with the right window dressings and a more clean-lined dresser. However, we’re absolutely agog that this home has a complete five-piece bath attached to the master bedroom — that’s practically unheard of in a home this age. And there’s a large walk-in closet, too, which makes this home the equivalent of a unicorn in this neighborhood.

And there are wonderful outdoor spaces, too, Black notes.

“The home has a beautiful front porch as well as a shaded backyard deck, she said. “Also, I love the amazing oversized two-car garage with extra storage — usually, there isn’t enough room on the lot for this plus a good backyard. Here, the lot is 160 feet deep.”

Looks like a good value to us, both inside and out! See it in person at the open house on Sunday, May 7, from 1 to 3 p.m.
