A Brookland Classic With Room to Live

1225 Perry Street NE sits in Brookland, one of NE DC’s most architecturally cohesive and historically rooted neighborhoods. The home was built in 1938 and carries the structural presence typical of mid-century detached construction in this part of the city.

With five bedrooms and three and a half baths across 3,073 square feet, the home offers a scale that is increasingly difficult to find within the District. The layout accommodates a range of living configurations without sacrificing the character that defines homes of this era.

Brookland’s proximity to the Red Line, its walkable retail corridor along 12th Street NE, and its concentration of independent restaurants and cafes make it one of the more livable neighborhoods in NE DC. The home is positioned to take full advantage of that infrastructure.
