Welcome to 1254 Van Buren Street NW, a beautifully updated brick Colonial in the heart of Brightwood. This inviting three-bedroom, two-bath home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades, offering the perfect balance of comfort and style. Step into a sunlit living room with a wood-burning fireplace, original built-ins, and… Read More rich hardwood floors that extend throughout the main level. A bright den provides flexible space for a home office, playroom, or cozy reading nook. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a Bosch dishwasher added in 2022. The finished lower level includes a full bath, guest space, laundry room, and generous storage. A beautifully maintained home with a new roof (2023), upsized return air vent to accommodate a new, higher-efficiency AC system (2021), and a relined fireplace with a new cap (2021). The deck was fully refurbished this summer (2025). Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard with a private deck and off-street parking. Recent updates also include a new washer and dryer (2020). The fireplace was enhanced with fresh brickwork, and the deck was upgraded with new footings, replaced planks, a new trellis, and fresh stain - just completed in summer 2025. Ideally located just blocks from the new Whole Foods at The Parks, neighborhood farmers market, tennis courts, and Takoma Metro - with Rock Creek Park and its Van Buren trail entrance nearby - this home offers classic charm, modern ease, and a vibrant Brightwood lifestyle.
