Lovely semi-detached, three-level brick home, newly landscaped, complete with owner-owned solar panels and gated 2-car parking in the heart of Brightwood. Just past the welcoming front porch, the main level features hardwood floors, numerous oversized windows, a convenient half bath, a thoughtful open living, dining, kitchen area outfitted with stainless steel appliances, granite counters and access to a mudroom with storage and rear parking with brick paver patio — perfect for summer time grilling. The private second level holds a convenient laundry room with storage, two spacious & newly carpeted bedrooms including the primary suite with double closets and attached bath, and a second bedroom with large walk-thru closet to an additional bath. The finished lower offers a tiled living area, a bedroom that works equally well as an office, plus a full bath. Centrally located just minutes to Georgia Avenue, Safeway, Walmart, and only 0.9 miles to the Takoma Metro Station, Lost Sock Roasters, Donut Run, and many other neighborhood favorites nearby.

Nicely renovated home with some odd layout touches - must see to understand. Both masters have plenty of closet space. 3rd "bedroom" is actually in finished basement. Basement has high ceilings.
