Located at 1231 Franklin Street NE, Washington, DC, this charming single-family home beautifully blends classic city character with everyday convenience in the heart of Brookland. Surrounded by neighborhood charm, eclectic dining, boutique shopping, local favorites, and easy access to the Brookland-CUA Metro station and Red Line, this home offers the ideal balance of comfort, style, and connectivity.
Featuring three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and one half bath, the home welcomes you with a gracious open foyer featuring soaring ceiling height and an abundance of natural light. From there, a sliding pocket door opens into a bright and inviting living room, where natural sunlight pours in and a decorative fireplace with a classic mantel adds warmth and character. The adjoining dining room is equally light-filled and features another decorative fireplace with a marble surround and tiled insert, creating an elegant setting for gatherings and everyday living. The traditional kitchen showcases rich dark cherry wood cabinetry, highlighted by 42-inch upper cabinets and two corner glass-front display cabinets that add both character and visual interest. Generous counter space, a built-in wine rack, and updated stainless steel appliances enhance everyday functionality, while a charming window above the sink fills the space with beautiful natural light.
Upstairs, the home offers three well-sized bedrooms, each thoughtfully enhanced with custom Closet America closet systems. The spacious primary suite provides generous room for a king-size bed, hardwood flooring, and a private ensuite bath with additional cabinetry and a tub-shower combination. A true standout feature of the home is the upper-level flex space located above the primary suite. This expansive area offers endless possibilities and can easily serve as a home office, nursery, craft room, light workout space, movie room, or relaxing lounge retreat along with its very own full private bath. The home is equipped with a dual-zone HVAC system, allowing for independent temperature control between levels. This thoughtful feature enhances overall comfort and energy efficiency, enabling homeowners to customize climate settings throughout the home while potentially reducing utility costs.
The lower-level basement area provides excellent additional storage with ample space for overflow items, luggage, suitcases, and future shelving. This area also houses the home’s utilities, including the HVAC system, hot water tank, and updated washer and dryer. Step outside to a glorious backyard oasis featuring a fenced-in manicured yard, cozy fire pit, flagstone patio, and thoughtful landscaping, creating the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, relaxing evenings, and enjoying city living.
