1600 Girard Street NE Washington, DC 20018

Grand on the outside and complemented with a welcoming interior layout, just waiting to be re-imagined. This stately 1920s era brick home sits on an impressive corner lot, surrounded on three sides by an uncommonly spacious yard. Four raised cedar garden beds installed by Love & Carrots form a cornerstone for a garden that has produced pounds of tomatoes and peppers every year.With only 3 loving owners since it was first constructed, the hardwood floors, original windows, doors, and trim are largely intact. Built to the specs of a Wisconsin-native businessman who moved his family to DC to run a furniture store in Chinatown, the top of the bedroom doors still bear the name of the midwestern mill where they were manufactured.A driveway leads to the basement two car garage, which is walled and plumbed to be returned to an in-law suite with kitchen and full bathroom. The bonus attic space offers flexibility for two bedrooms with a full bath or perhaps as a stunning upper suite.
Guests park with ease as there are no restrictions on the block, and the spacious downstairs rooms, including a music room, were made for entertaining. Less than a mile to Rhode Island Metro, and multiple bus lines converge a block away.Build out your dream home and invest in a tight-knit community with a thriving social scene. Easy access to the best of Brookland with a brand new library with children’s programs two blocks away, and Langdon Park, which hosts tennis and basketball courts, a playground, skate park, rec center and outdoor pool. Enjoy the nearby Turkey-Thicket Rec Center with its indoor pool, the restaurants and bars of the 12th Street Corridor, the lively Catholic University Arts District, and all the hip retail of Union Market. Also close to Metropolitan Branch Trail for biking straight downtown to Union Station or out to Silver Spring with very few street crossings. Convenient to Rte 1, Rte 50, I-395 and South Dakota Avenue.
