Description

A diamond in the rough. This 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath Monroe Street residence blends classic Brookland charm with modern convenience, and presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking value, upside potential, and the ability to customize a home to their own taste.

Inside, the home features a living room, formal dining room and separate sitting room, creating comfortable spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. The eat-in kitchen offers new quartz countertops and new stainless steel appliances providing a strong foundation for future personalization and design enhancements.

French doors off the sitting room open to a deck and fenced rear yard inviting low-maintenance outdoor retreat perfect for morning coffee, gardening or weekend gatherings.

Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms offer flexibility for a nursery, home office, fitness room or expanded closet space. The rear bedroom’s unique layout makes it especially well suited for a library, studio, wellness space or indoor plant sanctuary.

The full bathrooms have hotel-inspired tilework, modern fixtures and bright vanities.

The lower level adds additional versatility with a built-in wet bar, full bath, laundry area and substantial storage space — ideal for a media lounge, guest suite, recreation room or future in-law accommodations.

PLEASE NOTE: In Winter 2025, the property experienced a burst pipe event (look at the old listing to see the prevous price and pictures). The current "AS-IS" pricing reflects the home being offered in as-is condition while the owner evaluates potential renovation paths. The home was professionally remediated: parts of the kitchen cabinetry, including, the original HWF, drywall and ceiling have been removed on the main and lower levels. Renovated homes within the neighborhood and surrounding area have recently sold between approximately $950,000 and $1.1M, depending on scope, finish level and overall updates — creating a compelling value-add opportunity for investors, renovators or end users seeking immediate equity potential.

Located just steps from the Brookland–CUA Metro, Monroe Street Market, Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, Busboys & Poets and neighborhood favorites, 1843 Monroe Street NE combines location, scale and long-term upside in one of DC’s most desirable communities.
