Welcome to the popular and sought-after Rock Creek Manor neighborhood! Come see this pristine, lovingly cared for home that has been thoughtfully and tastefully renovated over the years. One of the largest and most desirable models in the neighborhood, this 5-level split colonial is filled with over $200,000 in upgrades. The current owners spared no expense, and each renovation was completed with thought, care, and the highest quality of workmanship. At the end of a quiet terrace, 5212 Drake features a coveted 1-car garage with a driveway large enough to fit 3 cars, solar panels (2015), a fully fenced in backyard, and meticulous landscaping. Inside you will find 5 FULLY finished levels of comfortable, modern, updated 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 that was completely redone in 2014. Direct access from the kitchen to the backyard oasis and an entertainer's dream come true. A meticulously maintained deck connects to a spacious stone patio with a large fire pit (patio and fire pit done in 2020) that is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine throughout the year. The real surprise comes in the form of a built-in grill and pizza oven, both installed in 2021. Back inside, the lower level family room has a wood-burning fireplace, a half bathroom, and a completely redone mud room/laundry room (2017). Below the family room is yet another FULLY finished level, perfect for a play room, exercise room, home office, game room….the possibilities are endless! The upper level has the large master suite and master bathroom, both renovated in 2017. The top floor has 3 large bedrooms and an additional full bathroom. Hardwood flooring on main and lower levels, ample storage space, and custom closets 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!
