Set in an older community with mature trees and stately houses, this 1951 brick colonial in the Woodmoor neighborhood has bright, cozy interiors with a vintage charm.

A front porch with white columns ushers guests to the beautiful red front door.

Original hardwood floors extend throughout most of the first floor. To the right, a large living room has poppy red walls, clean lines, and a wood-burning fireplace with a white-brick mantel and a tile hearth.

At the back of the house, the bright kitchen has buttery yellow walls; black-and-white tile floors; white cabinetry with original handles; new, white appliances; and spacious countertops. A window above the kitchen sink overlooks the backyard.

At the far end of the kitchen, a glass-paneled door leads to a charming sunroom, which features gray-painted brick, a wood ceiling, a gas range, a ceiling fan, sliding-glass doors on three sides to let in fresh air during the warmer months, and walkout access to the large Trex deck in the back.

The white-railing deck has steps that lead down to a three-level paver-stone patio, a sturdy playground set and a grassy lawn with mature trees, all of which backs up to wooded parkland.

The dining room, at the front of the house, has chic, spring-green walls, hardwood flooring, formal white chair rail and trim, and a simple, wrought-iron chandelier.

The finished basement has a media or family room area with wall-to-wall carpeting, recessed lighting and built-in cabinets. A third bedroom or office has a closet and ample space, as well as access to a full bath with a glass-door shower. A laundry area has a washer/dryer and a utility sink, an overhead cabinet and closets.

From the entrance, hardwood flooring continues to the upstairs bedroom level. At the top of the stairs, a quaint nook has a small window, and a hallway ceiling fan offers extra light. At the front of the house, on the left, the large master bedroom has a shared closet and plenty of light. Next door is the hallway bathroom, which has a window, a tub/ shower, white bead-board-like walls, a pedestal sink, a glass shelf and a mirrored medicine cabinet.

There also is a larger front bedroom and a smaller second bedroom at the back of the house, both with closets and windows.

This house is a little more than two miles from two Metro Red Line stations, and five minutes from grocery and shopping areas. Colesville Road (U.S. Route 29) is close by and offers easy access the Beltway.
