Welcome to the popular and sought-after Rock Creek Manor neighborhood! Come see this 5-level split colonial that has been lovingly and thoughtfully cared for over the years. Ready for your personal touches, this is one of the largest and most desirable models in the neighborhood, sitting at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. 5216 Drake Terrace features a coveted 1-car garage with a driveway large enough to fit 2 cars and meticulous landscaping. Inside you will find 5 FULLY finished levels of comfortable space for living, working, cooking, relaxing, and entertaining. The living room on the main level flows into the dining room, which is open to the kitchen. Directly off the kitchen is one of the BEST features of this home (a truly unique and special find in this neighborhood) - an EXTRA room with a gas fireplace that adds warmth and coziness. Not only does it make the kitchen more spacious, allowing for a large island, but it also provides an extremely versatile, additional/bonus living space that can be used for an additional living/family room, a breakfast area, or a playroom! The possibilities are endless! There is direct access from the bonus room to the backyard, which features a meticulously maintained stone patio that has plenty of space for a grill and outdoor furniture. Back inside, the lower-level family room has a wood-burning fireplace, a half bathroom, and a separate mud room/laundry room (also with outdoor access). Below the family room is yet another finished level, a large living space just begging to be made into a play room, exercise room, home office, game room….the ping pong table stays if you want it! The upper level has the large master suite and master bathroom, and a second bedroom. The top floor has 3 large bedrooms and an additional full bathroom. Hardwood flooring in bonus room, master bedroom, bedroom on the 2nd floor, and in one of the bedrooms on the top floor, ample storage space throughout round out the reasons why you will want to move in today! Easy access to major commuter roads/routes and mere minutes from Rock Creek Park trails, the Metro, Wood Park, local schools, Rock Creek Shopping Center, and local shopping/dining! This is truly a gem that you do not want to miss!
