About this House

This renovated 3-level brick rowhome is truly a gem! With 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, it offers modern living with a perfect blend of functionality and style. The chef's kitchen stands out, featuring 42” maple cabinets, quartz countertops, a ceramic tile backsplash, recessed and under-cabinet lighting, and top-tier LG stainless steel appliances. The kitchen flows into a dining room, with a breakfast area or sunroom that’s bathed in natural light, offering serene views of mature trees and landscaped surroundings. Convenience is key with a deeded private parking space accessible from the back street, perfect for unloading groceries, pets, or sporting gear. Inside, the living and dining areas, plus the second floor, showcase gorgeous refinished hardwood floors. Upstairs, the three bedrooms provide ample closet space, including the spacious primary bedroom with two closets. The contemporary bathroom features a skylight that floods the room with light. The basement has been transformed into a luxurious living space, complete with luxury vinyl plank flooring, a walk-in shower, a full bathroom, and a fourth bedroom—perfect for guests or extra family space. The full-size washer and dryer are conveniently located in a separate space, and the air conditioning unit was recently installed in 2023. Whether you enter from the front door or through the back, the home offers a welcoming feel. Step outside, and you're in a vibrant neighborhood with easy access to public transportation, local restaurants like Primrose and Right Proper Brewing, the Arts Walk, and outdoor activities.

    "sometimes people don't clean up.behind their dogs. I've been victim to walking in dog poo and having to clean it off after I've gotten to work! Not sightly or a great way to smell walking into your office. "

    "I’ve lived in Brookland for 21 years. Although it has a small town feel and is somewhat residential, Brookland has the red line metro to get you downtown or to NW in minutes. Also, the architecture is VERY eclectic— there are examples of every style of architecture from Victorian and Queen Anne in the 1800s to every other popular style during the 20th century and beyond. We even have the highest concentration of black architect designed houses in the US right here in Brookland. My belief is that this variation in architecture has translated into an equally varied population in the neighborhood— something for everyone! What unites us is that we all care deeply about our homes and the green space that surrounds us. Ward 5 is the greenest Ward in the city."
