Nice to finally find a beautiful, turnkey home in DC that is unique and has some quirky character. This former church rectory in Brookland was built in 2005 and is now a 4 bed, 2.5 bath home that is drenched in sunlight at every hour of the day. The first floor boasts 9 foot ceilings that feel even higher and an open-concept layout that welcomes guests into several entertaining spaces. Sit down around the gas log fireplace in the center of the first floor for a quiet evening or a large gathering. Past the living space, the kitchen connects hosts to guests with a bar-height countertop that allows everyone to be together while cooking. The newly-refinished first floor bathroom is a zen, tropical oasis that everyone comments on. Following the extra-wide staircase (a relic from the rectory past) upstairs under a vintage chandelier and a stained glass window piece, the landing is an inviting sitting space that splits the second level into two bedrooms front and two bedrooms to the rear. The primary suite at the front of the home has new paint and carpet, a comfortable walk-in closet, en suite full bath, and windows to catch every bit of the sunrise. Two bedrooms down the hallway lead to another full bath and the fourth bedroom. The hallway terminates in the former fire escape turned mini-balcony. Outside offers a bit of something for everyone. The magnificent, string-light-lit patio offers a private, quiet setting for an evening soiree. Fenced out of the patio are two parking spaces accessible through a wide and traffic-free alley. Along the side of the house is a large and fully-fenced yard perfect for your dogs, cornhole, volleyball, or whatever yard activities are your goal. The basement is clean, dry, and spacious and offers plenty of storage and access to systems. The concrete ramps and railings that lead to the double front door are remnants of the rectory that once lived here. With front and rear access, high ceilings and open-layout first floor, 2 parking spaces, a patio, and a large side yard, I challenge you to find a home in DC with something more to offer. Come have a look at your new home - we know you'll love it here.
