Description:

BROOKLAND ADJACENT! Nestled on a quiet, shady, tree-lined block on the vibrant BROOKLAND-LANGDON border, a stone's throw from the graciously sprawling LANGDON PARK, and a brisk 20-minute walk to BROOKLAND METRO and other Brookland amenities, this free-standing, THREE BEDROOM, detached Colonial offers a unique opportunity to craft a custom "urban-suburban" retreat. Legally recorded as Woodridge (Langdon) but delivering Brookland proximity, this brick structure built in 1948 showcases classic architectural details, timeless comforts, and wide ranging possibilities. As you approach the property, a beautifully landscaped exterior greets you. The well-maintained facade with its vintage awnings speak to the celebrated quality of '40s-era construction. Step inside to discover a warm interior ready for your personal touches. The HARDWOOD FLOORING throughout creates a seamless flow from room to room. The cozy FIREPLACE serves as a focal point in the LIVING ROOM, perfect for gathering with loved ones. The Living Room opens onto a sun-drenched FLORIDA ROOM addition that looks out onto the expansive, DEEP REAR YARD. The property features a FULL BASEMENT, offering endless possibilities, including perhaps a 4th Bedroom and/or a Full Bath. Whether you envision a home gym, a media room, or an additional bedroom, the basement can be transformed to suit your lifestyle. A massive 6,215 square foot yard (.14 acres) leads to a detached, brick-masonry, 2-CAR, 2-STORY GARAGE. With it's loft-like 2nd story, the garage suggests premium storage space, add'l living space, studio space, rehearsal space, a home office, etc. For the truly visionary, perhaps there's an ADU or Carriage House in this structure's future (Zoning is R1B). This quiet block at the Brookland-Langdon border offers a serene environment and close-knit community feel, combining Brookland proximity with the large lot-size more typical of Woodridge and Langdon. It's an ideal location for those seeking a tranquil retreat amidst nearby urban conveniences and nearly unlimited potential for customization and enhancement. More than a house, this is an opportunity to make lasting memories in a space that embodies tradition, warmth, and a sense of belonging. This is an ESTATE SALE and is being sold strictly AS IS.
