Mitchellville East is a rather reserved community with streets of family homes, and this three-level brick-front house sits among them. Although it is a fixer-upper, the house has potential and plenty to offer a family once a bit of touch-up work is done.

Solid hardwood floors are on the main floor, as is the dining room — with light blue and beige walls, a chair rail and wainscoting — a big carpeted living room and a cozy family room with fireplace and built-in bookshelf. A sliding glass door leads to the large wrap-around deck with gazebo, which could use a few repairs.

The kitchen has black granite countertops, large ceramic floor tile, a laundry room with washer and dryer connects, a stainless steel microwave, contemporary single spray faucet, a pantry and light brown cabinets with brushed nickel handles. The walls are a deep pumpkin color. The deck is visible, and a separate door leads to the two-car garage.

Also on the main floor is a half-bath with light blue walls and a nice oval mirror and modern lighting above the sink.

Light carpet covers the stairs and the entire top floor, which contains the four bedrooms. One bedroom has pink walls with Disney characters on a white border. One wall of the second bedroom features a sort of painted-on chalkboard. Another bedroom has soft blue walls.

The master bedroom is roomy and has a long mirrored vanity area at one side, separating a walk-in closet for two from the master bath. The master bath features a shower, white ceramic tile and white wallpaper with pink stripes.

The upstairs hall bath has a double sink, white ceramic floor tile and tub surround and floral wallpaper that is peeling in some areas. The big, roomy basement is unfinished and needs work, but has room for a couple of additional bedrooms and a bathroom.

Outside, the front of the house is brick with blue shutters. The house's spacious backyard backs up to the woods, and the front yard is roomy as well, creating lots of space for play or entertaining.
