Located on a quiet side street in Brookland, this tastefully renovated 3BD/2BA rowhome boasts a wealth of upgrades and additions that make life comfortable, convenient and above all, green.





The front porch that greets you is covered by a roof added in 2016, and is the perfect perch for enjoying a morning cup of coffee or tea while taking in the rain garden and native perennials.

A new 50-year PVC roof with maximum insulation was installed in 2018. In 2022, a 16-panel solar system was installed that produces SRECs averaging around 5mwh per year (the system transfers with the house). A high-efficiency gas boiler and water heater was added in 2016, two heat pump mini-split systems in 2014 and 2018 (serving every room), and high-efficiency Pella windows and screens in 2020.
