Equal parts classical and contemporary, this 3BD/3.5BA single-family home in beautiful Brookland is a masterclass in style, refinement, and comfort. High ceilings, an exposed staircase, pocket doors, and gleaming wood floors add a sense of grandeur to the foyer that welcomes you inside. A decorative fireplace with a columned mantle in the formal living room makes it the perfect spot for entertaining guests or simply relaxing on a cold winter evening—and a second decorative fireplace adds elegance to the formal dining room. The spacious kitchen features a generous amount of rich wood cabinetry (including a built-in wine rack) and stainless-steel appliances, and it leads directly into the dining room, making dinner parties just as effortless as casual meals. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms drenched in natural light and boasting enhanced closet spaces. While those bedrooms share a full bathroom, the large primary bedroom includes its own private full bathroom and stairs that lead up to a finished attic you can transform into a home office, a playroom, a nursery, a yoga room, a home theater, or whatever suits your needs. (The attic space also includes its own full bathroom.) For added storage potential, look no further than the basement, which is also where you’ll find the laundry and utilities. And for customizable comfort, the home’s dual-zone HVAC system allows you to set different climate settings in different parts of the house. Speaking of comfort, on pleasant days, you’ll likely find yourself in the fenced-in backyard with its flagstone patio, ample garden space, and landscaped yard. Life at 1231 Franklin Street NE connects you with the best of Brookland and surrounding neighborhoods. You’re just a short stroll from the Red Line; Woodridge Neighborhood Library; Langdon Park Recreation Center; everyday amenities like a Trader Joe’s and CVS; the Alamo Drafthouse; bars and restaurants like The Harp, Primrose, and Dew Drop Inn; and major bus routes along Rhode Island Avenue.
