826 MADISON STREET NW

Filled with natural light, this charming row house in Brightwood Park boasts rich hardwood floors and period details like a coffered ceiling and exposed brick. The meticulously finished open kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, classic Shaker cabinets, a wine fridge and marble counters. A breakfast bar provides informal dining, and a powder room on the main floor is a coveted amenity. The finished lower level is perfect for a family room or guests, with a wet bar, full bath and bedroom with a private entrance. At the end of a long day, retreat to the sunny owner’s bedroom with built-in shelves; a marble, en-suite bath; and walk-in closet. Entertain on the expansive deck, whether around the firepit in the winter or the BBQ in the summer. From Caribbean food to a taqueria, you can sample the world’s cuisine nearby or venture down the road to Takoma Park or Columbia Heights for more culinary options and shopping. Up the street you’ll find the new urban center, The Parks at Historic Walter Reed, which will include shops, dining, green space and community events.
