Welcome home to this beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home in sought-after Brightwood. A charming front porch leads inside to hardwood floors throughout the main and upper levels. The main level is open concept: the living room flows into a kitchen that was fully renovated in 2018 with state-of-the-art appliances. The dining space at the back opens onto the rear deck, a great sanctuary for morning coffee or entertaining. A half bath and multiple storage areas complete the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite has vaulted ceilings and its own full bath with skylights. The other bedrooms are generously sized and full of natural light, and the washer and dryer are on the top floor, right where you need them. The English basement is a complete in-law suite currently rented collecting $1,750/mo in rent, with its own separate entrance, kitchen, bedroom, full bath, and its own washer and dryer, plus separate meters. It's ideal for future extended family, long-term guests, or a private home office. The suite is currently occupied by a wonderful tenant who would love to stay, though that is entirely up to the buyer. Two-car secured parking in the rear, plus a new roof in 2024. Close to Metro, shopping and restaurants, so this one has space, flexibility and location.
