High atop a hill on a quiet, tree-lined street in Brookland sits this 1905 storybook Victorian painted lady. A full width covered porch invites you to sit come spring and enjoy afternoon tea or an evening cocktail.

This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home exudes charm, with its original molding and staircase, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and historic windows.

The ground floor features a large living room and formal dining room and half-bath. The kitchen has a breakfast bar and contains gas cooking and refurbished countertops. There is an adjacent room with outdoor access that can be used as a mud room, pantry, small office, or breakfast nook.

Upstairs you will find 3 good-sized bedrooms and a full bath in the hall. One of the bedrooms accesses a huge storage attic.

The lower level serves as a laundry and storage area. The sellers have just had the area professionally waterproofed and have installed a new, energy-efficient combination gas boiler for radiator heat and hot water. The home is cooled by four mini-split units that also provide additional heat, if needed.

There is a 2-level deck off the kitchen in the back yard, as well as a new rear fence and a one-car parking space accessible from the alley. From there, you can enter the kitchen or the lower level using a minimum of stairs to bring in groceries.

The sellers have cherished this home for nearly ten years and have priced it to leave room for a new owner to keep as is or choose their own renovations for a historic or more modern feel. This is your chance to own in Brookland only blocks from Metro and 12th Street amenities for a reasonable price, so make your offer today.
