711 Tewkesbury Pl NW

Built in 1929, this charming semi-detached Colonial has been lovingly renovated by the current owner over the past nine years. With the original floor plan intact, adding new hardwood floors, a new kitchen, a new bath, new plumbing, new electrical and new windows, this three bedroom, one bath residence maintains its original charm and aesthetics. 711 Tewkesbury still maintains its original stained-glass bay window complete with built-in screens. Prominently sited in the Brightwood neighborhood where the housing stock is a mix of well-kept duplexes, rowhouses and large single-family bungalows and Colonials. Many are built with red brick, some have slate roofs, a few have single-car garages and porches are very common. The streets are quiet, clean and welcoming to people who want an urban environment with suburban flair. Brightwood is also home to Fort Stevens, formerly named Fort Massachusetts, part of the extensive fortifications built around Washington, D.C., during the American Civil War.
