Spacious Four-Bedroom Rowhome in Brightwood Park with Outdoor Space & Parking!
This classical and beautifully updated rowhome sits on the border of 16th... Street Heights and Brightwood Park, both attractive and sought-after neighborhoods in The District. Large windows light up hardwood flooring throughout, with exposed faux rafters on the main level for added charm.

The upper level includes three bedrooms with an elongated primary that stretches across the bow of this level, another full bathroom, and a bonus window-laden sunroom den at stern. The lower level expands the living space with an additional den space that proceeds a fourth bedroom, a third full bathroom, a dedicated laundry room with storage space, and a rear exit at ground level. A fenced in rear yard features a concrete patio, storage shed, and a walk that leads to off-street parking with space for multiple vehicles.
Brightwood Park boasts a blend of residential and commercial, with a plethora of local businesses dotted along Kennedy Street. Larger grocery and retail stores are also close by on Georgia Avenue. Walmart Supercenter is just 0.5 miles to the North, a Yes! Organic and two Safeway Grocery stores are about a mile away. Getting around is a breeze with three Metro Stations (Takoma, Fort Totten, Georgia Ave-Petworth) each within 1.5 miles, and several nearby Metrobus stops that service multiple routes.
