 Here’s the first thing you notice about this cute, hill-perched Victorian cottage: natural light. Thanks to ample top-floor windows, it’s everywhere. And with the surrounding trees offering delightful calm, it’s easy to understand why the current residents playfully refer to this home as “The Bird House.”

The first floor features a living room perfect for entertaining guests or relaxing with a good book, as well as an updated kitchen with quartz counters and wood flooring. Downstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a den that could easily be transformed into your new home office.

The basement level is its own self-contained studio apartment with a side-yard entrance,  full bathroom, bamboo floors, and ample living space. Use it as a private in-law suite or great potential for an Airbnb set up. (Of course, you can always keep the entire level for yourself.)

The roof of the house is crowned with an energy-efficient 2.66 KW solar panel system so you can feel better about your carbon footprint.  It also generates about 2-3 SREC (Solar Renewable Energy Credits) a year which can be sold on the market.  Solar panels are owned and will transfer to the new buyer.  The property features a lush front-yard garden and a grassy back lawn, both ready for vegetable patches, al-fresco lunches, or a pair of comfortable Adirondack chairs. And the tree lined neighborhood street location is just a short walk from the Brookland-CUA Metro station.
