Stately and elegant, this 1905 Victorian makes a commanding impression on a rare approximately .34-acre lot in the heart of Brookland. Set well back from the street, the home enjoys extraordinary privacy, framed by a historic stone wall, a long private driveway with parking for up to four cars, and southern exposure that fills the interiors with gorgeous natural light. A welcoming foyer opens to an expansive formal living room, dining room, chefs kitchen, and a dramatic great room with soaring vaulted ceilings. Recent enhancements, including refinished hardwood floors and new recessed lighting in the formal living room, ensure the main level feels bright, refreshed, and ready for its next chapter. Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the kitchen features quartz countertops, abundant cabinetry, and a butcher-block peninsula ideal for casual dining and gathering. The gracious formal dining room offers generous space for holidays and celebrations, while a large half bath adds convenience on the main level. Outside, the expansive, level backyard extends the homes footprint, offering limitless possibilities, from lush gardens and outdoor dining to recreation space or a serene private retreat.
