Positioned on a tree-lined street in the soul of Brookland, this detached Victorian home offers an expansive three-level layout that balances historic charm with modern functionality. Natural light pours over the main level’s south-facing hardwood floors, leading from the classic wrap-around front porch into gracious living and formal dining rooms. The kitchen, complete with a cozy breakfast nook, connects to a tranquil enclosed rear sunroom that overlooks the private outdoor space. The upper level features three bright bedrooms and a full bath with hardwood floors throughout, while the fully finished lower level acts as a versatile suite with a fourth bedroom, a second full bathroom, and dedicated laundry and storage. The outdoor amenities provide a rare urban retreat, including a sprawling, level yard fully enclosed for privacy, a detached garage, and an additional parking pad accessible via the rear alley. This location is a commuter’s dream, situated just blocks from the Brookland-CUA Metro Station (Red Line) and multiple bus routes for a seamless downtown connection. Residents benefit from the Metropolitan Branch Trail and the local favorites along 12th Street and Monroe St NE, offering a perfect mix of quiet residential living and easy access to the neighborhood's celebrated dining and arts scene.
