About this home
Single Family · Built 1928 · Historic
Welcome to this beautifully updated, semi-detached home with a lower-level in-law suite offering tremendous rental potential! Perched on a quiet one-way street in desirable Brightwood, relax on the dreamy wrap-around porch with your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The main level of this energy-efficient Pearl Gold-certified home boasts a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring a quartz kitchen island with stainless appliances and a custom built-in pantry with space for all your needs. The natural sunlight streams through the many windows, showcasing the gleaming historic wood flooring in the large living room, separate dining room, and two upstairs bedrooms with custom closets. Make this move-in ready house your own. The main level includes a washer/dryer hookup for a future second washer/dryer - or powder room. The fully fenced, private back patio is perfect for entertaining - or converting to easy off-street parking. There is a shared front driveway for use every other month. If you are looking for a GREEN home, you're at the right place! Following a stringent energy efficiency retrofit, the home is Pearl Gold Certified. The FULLY-OWNED solar photovoltaic system was installed in 2021 and the seller has earned $7,553 in SREC credits since installation! Any future SREC credits--worth approximately $2,700 per year--will be passed on to the lucky new owner, providing an exciting passive income opportunity! The current owners have meticulously updated the home with a new kitchen remodel (2023), Ductless Mini Split A/C and Heat system (2020), new water heater (2020), removal of radiators and boiler (2023), masonry repointing (2023), energy efficiency retrofit (2020), and expanded custom closets in the upstairs bedrooms (2020). This centrally located home is just a 15-minute walk to the Takoma Metro and a short stroll from the Takoma Rec and Aquatic Center, which boasts an indoor pool. Safeway, Whole Foods, Starbucks, numerous playgrounds, and favorite neighborhood restaurants are within blocks. Don’t miss the weekly live jazz at Takoma Station Pub!
