Located on a quiet side street in Brookland, this tastefully renovated 3BD/2BA rowhome boasts a wealth of upgrades and additions that make life comfortable, convenient and above all, "green". The front porch that greets you is covered by a roof added in 2016, and is the perfect perch for enjoying a morning cup of coffee or tea while taking in the rain garden and native perennials. Renovations have transformed the first floor into a masterclass in open concept living, with wood floors that stretch from the living room (with beautiful brick fireplace) to the kitchen and dining area anchored by a waterfall kitchen island, stainless-steel appliances, and new cabinets. The back sunroom, added on in 2016, features a heated floor and mini-split unit for all-season use. Make it a lovely sitting area, a lush greenhouse, or a light-drenched dining room, and enjoy expansive views of a fenced-in backyard with a permeable paver patio and new wooden fence (2022). Added highlights of the back yard include flowers like tiger lilies and irises; a Santa Rosa plum tree; tomato and squash recruits in the garden; a large compost bin; two sheds for storage, studio or play spaces; and off-street parking. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms (two with built-in storage in their closets) and an updated/extended full bathroom with double vanity, heated floor, mini-ceiling fan and exhaust/heat. There’s also pull-down stairs to access attic storage space and a working roof hatch above the linen closet. The basement with a renovated full bathroom, Murphy bed, and private backyard entrance could easily become an in-law suite. A new 50-year PVC roof with maximum insulation was installed in 2018. In 2022, a 16-panel solar system was installed that produces SRECs averaging around 5mwh per year (the system transfers with the house). A high-efficiency gas boiler and water heater was added in 2016, two heat pump mini-split systems in 2014 and 2018 (serving every room), and high-efficiency Pella windows and screens in 2020.
