This well-kept townhouse-style condominium features shiny wood floors and plenty of recessed and designer lighting. The beautiful view of the woods and occasional visits by deer are perks of the home which borders parkland.

The two-story condo is a bottom unit in the 12-unit complex with its own parking area. Two steps down lead to the entry to this unit, and an outside, green stairway is the entrance for the top units. A small porch underneath the stairs is shared by the two lower-level homes.

The entryway offers beautiful hardwood flooring.

A bedroom to the left has light-colored carpeting, and there is a full bathroom with new fixtures nearby. The walls are painted a light green. A linen closet is along the hallway.

Farther along the hall is the master bedroom, which provides a lovely view of the parkland. An area off the master bedroom can be used as an office or a sitting area. Recessed lighting here, and throughout the home, was installed in 2007. There also is fresh paint.

A lighted, walk-in closet has shelving. A small area off the bedroom holds the utilities.

The combined living and dining rooms are down a full flight of stairs. The same hardwood lines the room, and a floor-to-ceiling, built-in, entertainment center along the wall wraps around both sides of a large window. Several bookshelves, cabinets large enough to hide the television, and a cushioned bench that runs under the window are here.

Furniture can separate this room in two, with a dining room table on the other side. Depending on the homeowners' needs, this area could serve as a large family room or a home office.

The kitchen beyond shines in all white contrasted by the black oven. There is plenty of cabinet space, and a built-in island has additional storage underneath as well as seating for two. The floor is vinyl tile.

The laundry area is just off the kitchen. Another space beneath the stairs offers storage.

The monthly fee for the homeowners association is $259 and covers exterior work including landscaping.

This home, built in 1996, is in the River Falls neighborhood and is commuting distance from Washington, D.C. There is ample shopping nearby including Potomac Village or downtown Bethesda.

A short walk leads to the C&O Canal towpath, which offers hiking and biking trails and a place to launch a kayak or a canoe. It also is close to the Old Angler's Inn and the 800-acre Great Falls National Park.
