Some houses try very hard to impress you.This one doesn’t have to.Because when you put a fully renovated contemporary home with five bedrooms, four baths, nearly 3,000 square feet of light-filled living space, three en-suite baths, two gas fireplaces, a private accessory office, and a beautifully landscaped backyard in the middle of Brookland, there isn’t much left to say.Except maybe: good luck finding another one.The open floor plan keeps everything connected without making anybody feel crowded. The hardwood floors are real. The storage is generous. The windows are large enough to make you forget you’re in the city at all.Upstairs, downstairs, indoors, outdoors — every inch feels considered. The main level includes two flexible bedrooms or office spaces and a full bath. The lower level has its own entertaining space, fireplace, bedroom, bath, and walkout access to the backyard. Which means guests can stay comfortably. Or never leave.Outside, the deck overlooks a backyard so meticulously landscaped it almost seems unfair to the neighboring yards. Rain gardens. Huge grass lawn. Multiple outdoor entertaining spaces. The sort of place where people suddenly become interested in gardening.And then there’s the accessory unit. Recently redone. Perfect as an office, studio, guest retreat, or the place you go when the rest of the house gets too jealous of it.Quiet enough to feel like a retreat. Walkable enough to remind you why people love Brookland in the first place.In other words: a rare house in a neighborhood that knows exactly what rare means.Note: interior shots virtually staged.
