This house has a story to tell. Could it be your story as well? Nestled in Brookland, this expansive property--including the stately main house, detached 2-car garage with fully finished unit above, and inviting carriage house complete with stone fireplace--is a true treasure. Featuring nearly 4000 sq ft of interior space including 5 bedrooms + office and 3.5 baths, the home is situated on nearly a quarter acre of picturesque land. With azaleas in bloom and abundant grass underfoot, only the chirping birds will disrupt this sanctuary that sits in the shadow of a Franciscan monastery and convent. A canopy of mature, stately trees shade the generous stone patio, with dappled sunlight peaking through, creating an idyllic outdoor space that extends directly from the stunning light-filled kitchen, resulting in a seamless flow from interior to exterior. The main floor is rounded out with a living and dining room, and cherry hardwood floors throughout. The second floor features a primary bedroom with en suite bathroom and separate sitting area, three additional bedrooms and a full hall bath--providing an ideal layout for a family. The third floor is a pitched roof loft, suitable for a playroom, study or guest room. The unfinished basement and an additional shed attached to the garage provide abundant storage options. A concrete driveway is situated on the side of the house with an automatic gate providing secure off-street parking for 4-5 cars including 2 covered. Newly installed French drain adjacent. Homes like this one don't come along every day. A captivating escape; an inviting retreat. This is a house with a story to tell. Make that story your own.
