Today’s plans: come home.

Morning coffee has a porch. Dinner has a dining room. And out back, the garden seems to have developed its own little world. There are whimsical trees, quiet corners, and the distinct possibility that five minutes outside will become another hour.

1231 Franklin Street NE has gracious rooms for quiet Sundays, second helpings, unexpected guests, and all the ordinary things that somehow become the good stuff.

The Metro is nearby, along with neighborhood restaurants, shops, and everything that makes this part of Brookland so wonderfully livable. Which creates a pleasant little dilemma: go somewhere, or stay home another hour?

Take a look through the photos, then come see it for yourself.

The porch has plans this afternoon.

Mostly involving you eventually getting back to it.

4002 10th Street NE is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath Brookland rowhome for people who like having options, preferably within walking distance.

Walk to dinner. Walk to Trader Joe’s. Walk to the Metro. Turkey Thicket Recreation Center & pool is just across the street. And when you’ve accomplished enough for one day, walk home to hardwood floors, an updated kitchen, a finished lower level, and a front porch that makes a compelling argument for doing absolutely nothing.

Coffee or a book works there.

Waving to neighbors while pretending you’re going to get up and do something eventually works particularly well.

Take a look through the photos, then come see it in person.

The kitchen is accepting visitors today.

And yes, it knows it’s the star.

But the supporting cast is pretty good too.

3517 South Dakota Avenue NE is a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Woodridge bungalow with three finished levels and the kind of thoughtful renovation that makes the whole house easy to live in.

The main level has wood floors, two bedrooms, beautifully renovated baths, and a kitchen built for people who occasionally say, “We should have everyone over,” without fully considering the consequences.

Upstairs, the finished attic adds another bedroom plus space for an office, library, or whatever else needs a room of its own. Downstairs, a flexible finished lower level offers even more room to spread out, work, host, or accommodate guests.

And when everyone finally leaves, there’s a covered front porch waiting for you.

Take a look through the photos, then come see the whole supporting cast in person.

COME HOME.

Walk to the Metro.

Run errands.

Bike to work.

Then come home to gracious rooms, a welcoming front porch, and a garden that keeps the city at the gate.

Take the tour. Then come experience the part the video can't quite capture.

The House That Gives You Your Evenings Back

Imagine leaving work, walking home from the Metro, picking up dinner on the way, and ending the evening on your front porch instead of sitting in traffic. That's the rhythm of life this Brookland rowhome quietly makes possible.

Inside, you'll find three bedrooms, two full baths, hardwood floors, a bright and renovated kitchen, and a finished lower level with flexible space for guests, a home office, or movie nights. Outside, Trader Joe's, Monroe Street Market, Turkey Thicket Recreation Center & pool, neighborhood restaurants, and the Brookland Metro are all just a short walk away.

It's the kind of house that doesn't ask you to change your life.

It simply gives you a little more of it.

You could spend years looking for more time in nature.

Or you could make nature your neighbor.

Take a tour of this large 4-bedroom Cape Cod where three trailheads are just steps from the front door. Inside, you'll find thoughtfully designed spaces, three fireplaces, a Poggenpohl kitchen, and landscaped gardens that make it easy to forget you're still in Washington.

The city is only minutes away.

It just doesn't feel like it.

Coffee on the porch.

Tomatoes out back.

Sunlight everywhere.

Those aren't the features that usually make the flyer.

But they're often the reasons people fall in love with a house.

907 Varnum Street NE was full of thoughtful improvements - from the 4 season sunroom and renovated kitchen to the rain garden, solar panels, and the backyard that had clearly been enjoyed as much as it had been cared for.

We're delighted for our sellers and excited for the new owners, who now get to enjoy everything this special Brookland home has to offer.
