Come discover this enchanting 1930s Tudor-style end-unit rowhome, distinguished by its slate roof, manicured front garden anchored by a mature Japanese Maple, and private alley parking. With nearly 2,300 finished square feet across three levels, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home blends the romance of a bygone era with thoughtful updates for today’s lifestyle.

Step inside and the home’s personality immediately shines through. Beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings, an original grand staircase, antique glass doorknobs, and a wood-burning fireplace create the warmth and character that make older DC homes so special.

The gracious living room features custom millwork and a cozy fireplace surrounded by built-ins. The charming sunroom offers views of the mature trees right out front and is a comfortable spot for reading or a sweet space for the children’s playroom. A generous dining area sets the stage for lingering dinners and easy entertaining. The open chef’s kitchen is both beautiful and functional, centered around a custom island and built-in pantry, with a new induction stove installed in 2025 and a Bosch dishwasher in 2026. A convenient mudroom just off the deck allows for everything to be it it’s place and a powder room for your guests offers privacy. Fresh paint gives the main level a bright, polished feel.

Upstairs, the original hardwood floors and high ceilings continue the home’s timeless appeal. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with mill work, a walk in-closet, a steam shower, new shower door, and new vanity. There are two additional bedrooms, each with a bonus room off the back, that work great as additional closet space and/or a work space. Those two rooms share a hall bathroom.

The lower level adds another layer of living space, with a recreation and entertainment area, a full bathroom, a spacious laundry room, and a garage/workroom. This level is perfect for movie nights, guests, hobbies, or a little hideaway of your own. New luxury vinyl plank flooring and a new banister give this level a fresh finish.

Just off the kitchen, French doors lead you outside. The fully fenced backyard and expansive deck feel like your own little retreat in the city. It’s an inviting setting for summer dinners with friends, morning coffee, or cocktails when the busy day is over. An electric gate leads to secure off-street parking for 3 cars, a wonderful DC convenience. A new gutter system with rain barrels is another thoughtful recent improvement.

Ideally located approximately one mile from Brookland’s restaurants, cafés, and neighborhood gathering spots, as well as Turkey Thicket Recreation Center with its pool, sports facilities, playgrounds, and green space. Catholic University and the Brookland-CUA Metro station are just over a mile away, offering easy access to the many attractions of Northeast DC.
