Tucked away in a quiet pocket of north Brookland, you will find 730 Buchanan Street NE. This welcoming rowhome, built with midcentury brick charm, has been thoughtfully updated by its owners to maintain the home's original character while creating a serene and cozy living space. Upon entry from the front garden, a welcoming porch leads into a quaint entry vestibule. Original, handsome hardwood floors extend into a spacious living room, perfect for relaxing with friends and family. A separate dining room offers picturesque views of the deep backyard and is located directly off the updated kitchen. Upstairs, the hardwood floors continue, leading to three bedrooms and a full bath featuring a modern vanity and beautiful tile work. A large skylight allows natural light to flood the upstairs hall. The lower level offers a cozy retreat with a charming bar area—perfect for entertaining—plus a dedicated storage/utility space, full-size laundry, and a convenient half bath. Step outside to a garden oasis, perfect for hosting friends, cultivating a vegetable garden, or letting kids and four-legged friends play. The backyard also features two-car parking and enough space to build a garage or potential accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Meticulously maintained, this home features numerous upgrades made by the current owners, including new exterior doors, refreshed bathrooms and kitchen, HVAC replacement, plumbing upgrades, new windows, roof replacement, and more. A full list of improvements is available upon request. This home is ideally positioned for commuting to Catholic University, downtown, Capitol Hill, and Maryland, with the Fort Totten Metro station (Red, Yellow, and Green lines) just a short distance away. Enjoy strolls through the Monroe Street Arts Walk, pick up fresh flowers and produce at the Brookland Farmers Market, and dine at the many spectacular restaurants on 12th St NE and Monroe St NE. Nearby conveniences include the new Aldi, Trader Joe's (opening May 2025), Walmart, the renovated Lamond-Riggs Library, Turkey Thicket Recreation Center and pool, the Capital Area Food Bank, Food and Friends, and the gardens at the Franciscan Monastery—a stunning destination just in time for spring.
