Ready to the see the light? Come find it (and so much more) at 528 Roxboro PL. NW, a charming end-row townhouse just blocks from the Takoma Recreation and Aquatic center -- picture tennis courts, play grounds and park -- and a mile from Takoma Park Metro. The draws start with a front porch and continue inside, with an open floor plan, streams of natural light and hardwood floors beneath your feet. In the kitchen, stainless-steel appliances, numerous counters, built-in stove and a dining island call to the cook in the house, as does the small back yard, primed for outdoor entertaining. Upstairs, you’ll discover two light-filled bedrooms, along with large closets and a shared hallway bathroom. The lower level finds a third bedroom with a full bathroom, double closet, laundry area and storage with shelves. Big plus: a separate entrance. The townhouse also comes with a new roof, added in 2018, and energy-efficient windows. Historically low interest rates make now a great time to buy in Brightwood, which is convenient to bus routes from downtown to Silver Spring and from Takoma to Petworth.

Takoma / Brightwood Semi-detached rowhouse with lots of original details and great potential. Perfect for someone who wants to get a great deal then restore and renovate themselves. Built in 1927, last major renovation was about 1960. Live-able condition but with some work it can be really nice!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
