1254 VAN BUREN Street NW Relaunching this Beautifully Updated Single-Family Home in Brightwood! Welcome to 1254 Van Buren St NW - a lovingly maintained and move-in-ready single-family home nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in Brightwood. This classic DC residence offers timeless character, modern upgrades, and comfortable living across three finished levels. The main level features gleaming hardwood floors, a spacious and sun-filled living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a separate dining area, and an updated kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and abundant storage. Upstairs, you'll find three inviting bedrooms and a fully renovated bathroom (October 2025) featuring modern tile work, new fixtures, and stylish finishes. The fully finished lower level provides flexible living space - perfect for a recreation room, guest suite, or home office - with new carpeting (October 2025) and a full bathroom. Not an inch of space is wasted in the basement, which includes a large laundry/storage room and a convenient closet beneath the stairs. Right off the kitchen, step outside to a large refurbished deck (2025) - ideal for relaxing and entertaining. The fenced-in yard is the true showstopper of this property. With an oversized storage shed and expansive lawn, there's room for a playset, fire pit, or vegetable garden - the options are endless! While street parking is abundant in this neighborhood, the gated off-street parking in the back adds an extra level of privacy and convenience. The lower level also offers walkout access to the backyard. Other notable recent upgrades include: a new roof (2023), new dishwasher (2022), new high-efficiency AC system (2021), and new washer and dryer (2020). Location Highlights: Ideally located near The Parks at Walter Reed - home to the new Whole Foods Market, local dining, shopping, and open green spaces - this property also offers convenient proximity to Fort Stevens and Takoma Rec Centers, Rock Creek Park, and is under a mile to the Takoma Metro. Experience Brightwood's welcoming sense of community paired with modern urban convenience.
