    What's special

    Welcome to 5811 5th Street NW — a beautifully renovated 1927 brick end-unit rowhome blending timeless Brightwood charm with modern comfort and function. Step onto the inviting covered front porch and into a bright, semi-open layout that balances distinct living spaces with natural flow. The foyer offers access to the upstairs, a hallway to the kitchen, or a spacious family room to the right, centered around a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The main level features engineered hardwood floors and recessed lighting throughout. The living room transitions seamlessly into a defined dining area and a thoughtfully designed kitchen, complete with a waterfall island, stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry. From the sunroom—ideal as a bonus space or reading nook—step out onto a brand-new deck overlooking a fully fenced backyard with secure off-street parking for two. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The luxurious primary suite boasts a spa-like ensuite with a soaking tub, separate walk-in shower with a rain showerhead, and direct access to a custom walk-in closet. A second full bath serves the other two bedrooms. The fully finished basement offers tremendous flexibility and comfort, featuring a kitchenette, living area with electric fireplace, a den, fourth bedroom, and full bathroom. With walk-out access to the backyard, this level is perfect for guests, in-laws, or potential rental income. This home offers 1,620 SF above grade and 954 SF of finished basement space, all situated on a 3,237 SF lot. Updates include new systems, modern finishes, and refreshed roof elements—all while preserving its original brick façade and character. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Brightwood, you're minutes from Rock Creek Park, Georgia Avenue, and Takoma with access to Metro, local shops, schools, and more. Turnkey, light-filled, and thoughtfully upgraded, 5811 5th Street NW is the perfect blend of classic DC architecture and contemporary living. Don't miss your opportunity to call this gem home.
