Versatile Raised Ranch in Desirable Lexington Park – 4 Bedroom Potential! Welcome to 8223 Colfax Street – a spacious and thoughtfully updated raised ranch located in the heart of Lexington Park. This stone-front twin offers incredible flexibility with its layout, featuring three bedrooms and two full baths, with the potential to easily convert back to a four-bedroom home.

The main floor showcases gleaming hardwood floors, a sun-filled living room, and a large eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, tiled flooring, and abundant cabinet space.
