Welcome to the Blue House on the Corner! This supremely stylish, three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom home in North Michigan Park is truly turn-key and ready for its next chapter. Only .6 miles from the Metro and tucked away on a serene tree-lined street, this home is a true gem!
Fully renovated in 2018 and lovingly maintained throughout six years of ownership, the Blue House has been gorgeously refreshed and renewed. This terrific offering boasts an incredible list of upgrades, including brand-new appliances, light fixtures, and vanities (2024); a new roof (2024); refinished parking pad, rear walkway, and basement steps (2024); fresh painting throughout (2024); HVAC/water-heater replacement (2018); windows (2018); electric heavy up (2018); basement waterproofing (2018); and more!
Original details mix marvelously with modern appointments to create a genuine sense of character, striking an exciting balance between classic DC charm and a more contemporary aesthetic. Enjoy the gleaming original hardwood floors, sun-soaked living and dining areas, main-level half bath, and perfectly positioned breakfast bar. Conveniently access the rear yard and parking pad (it fits up to four cars!) right from the kitchen. Relish in the beautiful light pouring through the windows (the kind of light only a corner lot can offer!) and pop open the doggy door to let your four-legged friend roam the front yard.
Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a full bathroom. Downstairs, a versatile and fully finished basement with a full bathroom and its own entrance. A guest bedroom? An office? How about a play room or gym? An Airbnb? However you feel so inspired to utilize it! This floor plan is truly exceptional and flows seamlessly across all three levels!
One of the larger lots in the neighborhood, the Blue House sits on a quiet, tree-lined street with a fenced-in yard perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and playing. Enjoy the most welcoming, lush array of foliage - mature trees, bushes, flowers, and your very own herb garden (tomatoes, basil, dill, parsley, cilantro, rosemary) with room to add. You're only a stone's throw from both Fort Circle Park (0.1 miles away) and the North Michigan Park Recreation Center (0.3 miles away). The playground at NMP is a game changer! Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby Metropolitan Branch Trail, and nature lovers will enjoy exploring (or turtle-watching!) by the creek. So much, so close to home!
Venturing out is also a breeze! The Blue House is conveniently located between the Fort Totten and Brookland metro stations, allowing quick and easy access to the red, green, and yellow lines. Take the metro downtown, or head over to the Brookland Arts Walk or Catholic University. With its proximity to so many incredible shops, restaurants, and watering holes, there are endless places to dine, shop, caffeinate, or relax: YES! Organic Market, Giant, Busboys and Poets, Primrose, Hellbender Brewery, Brookland Pint, Dew Drop Inn, Cool Coffee CO, and so many more. Also within close proximity is a fantastic gym (OneLife Fitness), daycare, newly built public library, schools (DC Bilingual, Yu Ying, E.L. Stokes), and the upcoming development on South Dakota , Art Place at Fort Totten; as well as the upcoming development at 12th and Monroe!
Enjoy a life of leisure at this ultra chic urban offering!
