About This Home

Available May 14

The PERFECT blend of 1920s character with modern flair is this lovely & large circa-1927 Foursquare on a quiet, tree-lined street! Deceivingly large across its three levels, owners have tastefully updated it throughout, including a full gut of the basement to include now 2 bedrooms plus an office, full bath, laundry, above-ground windows & large additional family/rec room space including kitchenette. Home's original woodwork, doors, paneled glass-front built-ins, plaster (i.e. soundproof!) walls, large room proportions, dining banquette, and welcoming front porch marry perfectly with a photo-friendly chef's kitchen with marble counters, plentiful cabinets & stainless appliances, enviable primary suite including bath with standing tub & shower and dual vanity, cute modernized hall bath (also with double vanity), updated lighting, and replaced utilities/systems throughout. Walk-down stair to level & fenced rear yard (minimal maintenance!) & detached garage (1 CAR PKG). On a quiet block filled with other detached homes, 706 Van Buren is seconds from ever popular Takoma Recreation Center includes the Aquatic Center, numerous fields/playgrounds, and minutes from both conveniences off Georgia Ave (Safeway, Wal-Mart & Starbucks) as well as Whole Foods and dining options in The Parks, Takoma Metro (Red Line) and so much more!

706 Van Buren St Nw is a house located in District of Columbia County and the 20012 ZIP Code. This area is served by the District Of Columbia Public Schools attendance zone.

Neighborhood

Brightwood's western edge consists of part of Rock Creek Park, a large park covering 1,754 acres. The park includes a tennis center, a golf course, horse trails, a playground, picnic areas, hiking trails, boathouses, and the historic site Fort DeRussy. Brightwood begins along Military Road and extends north to roughly Aspen Street. Fort Stevens, located near Georgia Avenue, is a popular historic park featuring Civil War fortifications and hiking and bicycling trails. Also located in the neighborhood, the Fort Stevens Recreation Center offers a playground, tennis court, and a water feature.

Situated north of 16th Street Heights and south of Shepherd Park, Brightwood is a popular and growing neighborhood, known for its row houses. Because it is in the northern section of DC, doesn't have a Metro station, and is completely residential without the presence of bars and nightlife, Brightwood hasn't been on the radar of most Washingtonians -- until now.
