In coveted Brookland, this semi-detached South facing row home retains its original details with hardwood floors, working transoms, glass doorknobs, original doors and even horsehair plaster restored to their original glory. Modern renovations balance this period charm, with a new media screen, marble baths, and energy-efficient Nest thermostats. Even the systems have been upgraded with new copper plumbing, electric, windows, and high-efficiency AC. High ceilings and wide windows fill this home with light. The delightful blue-and-white kitchen boasts marble counters, chic white cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances, while the original cold chest adds a unique remembrance of the house’s history. Lined with windows, the breakfast room is a delightful spot for your morning coffee or casual family meals.
