This one-of-a-kind elegant Colonial with a carriage home just off the main house is one of the best of Brookland! There is nothing like it in the city! It is on a corner lot with an adjacent lot also for sale! There are multiple entrances but let us begin with the formal entryway into the bright living room with a wood-burning FP and a French door to the covered patio. The stylish powder room, gourmet kitchen and breakfast room are also on the main level. The chef’s zone includes quartz countertops and an island with a sink and breakfast bar as the centerpiece. A wall of soft-close shaker cabinets, top of the line SS appliances, a pot filler over the gas range, and an eat-in breakfast room with a wall of windows to take in the morning sunshine make this kitchen the heart of the home. From the kitchen you can enter a flex space which can serve as a mudroom, small office, or home gym. This also leads to the LL or the walkway to the carriage home. The LL is perfect for an au-pair or basement rental with a second full kitchen, family room, a legal bedroom, a full bath, and laundry. A few steps outside is the carriage home, an adorable self-sufficient home with its own full-size kitchen, a full bath, a living room, a bedroom, and dedicated exits to the side yard and rear of the home. There is also space off the back of the carriage home for barbecuing and patio furniture. Back in the main house, we can go up to the second story and enter the expansive master suite with double closets, its own private deck, a Euro-style spa bath and tons of natural light. Across the hall there is the 4th full bath and 4th bedroom. Go up to the third story and there is the 5th bedroom and a large loft-style room perfect for a play area, yoga/meditation station, or office. There is an optional lot next door with a red brick structure ($400k) currently sharing the parking with the main house that has the potential to become a two-car garage with an accessory dwelling, a pool house, a rental home or a large (plans available upon request for the 2100 sqf 4 bed/3.5 bath). That lot also comes with driveway parking for 2 cars. Between the basement and carriage home, these existing spaces add versatility and options for income-making opportunities. Walking distance to the Langston Rec Ctr, Giant, Dwight Mosley Playground and Taft Field, Starbuck, Tropical Smoothie and tons of restaurants and more!
