Some homes check boxes. This one changes how you think about city living. Tucked just a block and a half from the Brookland Metro on a tree-lined Northeast street, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath detached farmhouse is what happens when a century-old home gets a visionary second act. A full gut renovation in 2016 brought every major system up to modern standards, and the owners kept going — adding wholly-owned solar panels that meaningfully reduce monthly energy costs, an EV charging connection in the driveway, and an established rain collection system. A new roof was added in 2021. For buyers who care about sustainability, this home delivers without requiring a single additional investment. The main level is open and airy, anchored by a bay window that floods the living space with light throughout the day. The kitchen is well-equipped for serious cooking and casual entertaining alike — granite countertops, stainless appliances, an island with seating, and a beverage fridge make it easy to stay in the kitchen and still be part of the conversation. A half bath and easy access to the rear patio round out the main floor. The patio itself is a genuine living space — large enough for a dining table and a lounge area, with terraced steps leading down to a fully fenced flat yard. The garden here is something special: fruit trees, berry bushes, herbs, and edible plantings that have been years in the making. It's the kind of backyard that rewards attention and doesn't demand expertise. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms each have ceiling fans and good closet space. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and a private bath with a double vanity and custom tile shower. The other two bedrooms share a full hall bath with a tub. On the lower level, a finished basement with notably high ceilings offers a fourth bedroom with its own separate exterior entrance and a full bath — flexible space that works equally well for guests, remote work, or extended family. The location puts some of DC's best neighborhood dining and culture within easy reach — Primrose and Atlas Brewing are neighborhood staples, and the Metro Branch Trail is just a few blocks away for cyclists. New development just south continues to add energy to an already vibrant corridor. A home this complete, this considered, and this well-located doesn't come along often.
