Beautiful 3BR/3BA home in the heart of Brightwood. Originally built in 1936, the home features charming Art Deco-inspired architecture blended seamlessly with thoughtful updates throughout. Inside, recently refinished hardwood floors lead to a sunken living room with a wood-burning fireplace, custom molding and built-ins, abundant natural light from the large bay window, and direct access to the covered front porch. The galley-style kitchen offers storage with a double pantry cabinet and maple shaker cabinets, granite countertops, and unique oversized integrated double-basin sink with vintage-style bridge faucet. Upstairs, the light-filled primary suite features high ceilings, three large closets, distinctive porthole windows, and an ensuite bath with vintage-inspired character, stall shower, and vanity with storage. Two additional bedrooms, a second full bath with classic period details, and linen closet complete the upper level. The spacious walk-out lower-level functions as flexible space offering option for guests, au pair, home office, or additional living space with access to a full bath, laundry, and huge storage/utility room, along with a separate rear entrance leading directly to the fully fenced backyard. Off-street parking and fenced yard completes the rear exterior.
