The charm of a white picket fence welcomes you to this classic, fully updated detached bungalow in the beloved Brookland neighborhood. Completely renovated and expanded in 2019, this warm, light-filled home is truly turnkey, with delightful surprises at every turn. A covered front porch with a welcoming swing sets the tone as you step inside to a spacious living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The gourmet kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, a breakfast bar with a separate prep sink, and a charming breakfast area. Just beyond, a spacious separate dining room is ready to host everything from intimate dinner parties to this year’s Thanksgiving celebration. A main-level powder room and separate laundry room add everyday convenience, while a generously sized bedroom and a full hall bathroom with a new vanity provide flexibility for guests or main-level living. Out back, the fully fenced yard offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city, while the expansive rear deck is perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining, and relaxing on warm evenings. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms include a spacious primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, complemented by a renovated full hall bathroom. But the true surprise awaits on the lower level! Connected to the main home yet offering its own private side entrance, this versatile space is ideally suited for extended family, an au pair, or a potential income-producing opportunity. Two generously sized bedrooms, a newly updated full kitchen, a separate laundry room, and a full bathroom create a remarkably self-contained living space with endless possibilities. Combining timeless bungalow charm, thoughtful updates, flexible living spaces, and exceptional versatility, this special Brookland home offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful residential setting with convenient access to neighborhood parks, local shops, dining, and public transportation. A rare opportunity to enjoy the comfort and character of a detached home with room to accommodate a variety of lifestyles, all in one of Northeast DC’s most cherished communities. Welcome home!
