Description

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. Plus, the new Reservoir District promises to bring even more vibrancy to the area. It is developed in consultation with neighborhood groups and City planning officials, the Reservoir District will bring many benefits to the whole community: a full-service grocery store; neighborhood-focused restaurants and shops; a six-acre public park; a community center with pool, fitness center, meeting and gallery space; state-of-the-art healthcare facilities, and more.

    "I have lived here since December of 2016. Lots of diverse families and young adults and college students live around here. You can walk to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception for mass or just to tour the inside. You can also walk to Monroe market place. The nail salon there is awesome and I love Brookland Pint for food, drinks, family friendly meal environment and nice happy hour specials. "

    "This area is pretty decent for families as there is a mix of families and college students with Catholic University nearby. There are elements of crime here, but where can you go these days and not have it. Overall, the neighborhood is great and so are most of the people here."

    "While the area is in transition (due to gentrification), the 12th Street corridor is ideal for quick shopping trips. There are kid friendly parks and schools for families. There's even Catholic University for higher education, and Providence Hospital for medical needs. This is a very walk around friendly and quiet neighborhood."

    "great location, close to the U.S. Capitol. needs more shopping, restaurants. 7-10 minute commute to work Catholic University, beautiful tree-filled neighborhood, but has no shopping. 24-hour good clean safeway about 5 minute drive. gated community."
