Live off the grid in this Brookland semi-detached row home, totally renovated including a fantastic rear addition in 2021. It’s so bright and light, with three exposures! The main level is ideally laid out with an open floor plan and hardwood floors. An inviting living room has a wood burning fireplace and its large gourmet kitchen features an island, breakfast bar, stainless appliances, quartz countertops, and so much cabinet storage. A pair of sliding doors lead to a huge deck off the dining room overlooking the large, flat, fenced-in backyard with space for parking. A powder room completes the perfect main level. Upstairs you'll find the well-appointed primary bedroom with ensuite bath, tiled shower and walk-in closets. Two more bedrooms and another full bath with a soaking tub makes this the perfect home. The charming transom windows reflect quintessential timeless DC architecture. The lower level features a finished walk-out basement with in-law/au pair suite with a bedroom, wet-bar, recreation room, & full bath. Live off the grid: SOLAR PANELS (owned outright & convey with property) power the whole house with potential to sell back to the power grid! A whole house battery backup was installed in 2022. Enjoy the best Brookland has to offer: great restaurants (Primirose, Menomale, Provost, Right Proper Brewing), coffee shops (Zeke’s coffee), Trader Joe’s, shops, parks, Artswallk, Monroe Street Farmers Market, swimming pools, easy commuting, Brookland-CUA Metro Station, schools and universities. For comfort, convenience and great style make this your new home!
