Brookland, NE — 5018 8th St NE

A Renovated Brick Corner Home in the Heart of Brookland

The home at 5018 8th St NE sits on a corner lot in Brookland, one of NE Washington’s most established residential neighborhoods. Built in 1948 and fully renovated in 2025, the brick semi-detached structure spans three levels and 1,374 square feet of finished space, with a covered front porch that anchors the streetscape presence.

Inside, the main level opens to a connected dining and kitchen area with quartz countertops, new cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry behind a floating barn door. A wall-mounted electric fireplace and built-in wine storage add considered detail to the living area. The rear addition on this level provides a versatile room suited to a bedroom, office, or home gym, with direct access to the rear deck and yard.

The upper level holds two bedrooms and a shared full bath with designer tile flooring. The finished lower level contributes additional living space and a second full bath with a large tiled shower, expanding the home’s functional footprint well beyond its above-grade square footage.

Fort Totten Metro station is 0.5 miles from the front door, and the surrounding Brookland neighborhood offers parks, universities, and everyday conveniences within easy reach.

Corner Lot Presence
The home occupies a 1,642-square-foot corner lot on 8th Street NE, giving it a wider setback and a covered front porch that runs along the street-facing facade. The brick exterior, original to the 1948 construction, was retained through the 2025 renovation and contributes to the home’s architectural continuity within the Brookland streetscape.
Renovated Main Level
The main level was reconfigured to create an open connection between the dining area and the fully remodeled kitchen. Quartz countertops, new cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry with a floating barn door define the kitchen. A built-in wine storage unit with glass accents and a wall-mounted electric fireplace complete the living area.
Upper and Lower Levels
Two bedrooms on the upper level share a full bath finished with designer tile flooring. The finished lower level adds a second full bath with a large tiled shower and a flexible living area that functions as a den, family room, or additional sleeping space. New hardwood flooring and windows run throughout all three levels.
Transit and Location
Fort Totten Metro station, serving the Red, Green, and Yellow lines, is 0.5 miles from the property. Bus service along 8th Street NE provides additional transit options. The Brookland location places the home within reach of parks, universities, and the neighborhood’s growing retail and dining corridor.

Property Location

About 5018 8th St NE

The home at 5018 8th St NE is a brick semi-detached residence built in 1948 and comprehensively updated in 2025. The renovation introduced new windows, hardwood flooring throughout, a remodeled kitchen, and updated baths on every level. At 1,374 square feet across three levels, the floor plan makes efficient use of its footprint, with the rear main-level addition meaningfully expanding the functional square footage. The corner lot configuration provides natural light on two exposures and a covered front porch along 8th Street NE.

Brookland is one of NE Washington’s most established residential neighborhoods, defined by its brick row houses, semi-detached homes, and proximity to the Catholic University of America campus and the Monroe Street Market corridor. The neighborhood sits within DC Council District 5 and is zoned R-2, reflecting its low-density residential character. Parks and green space are accessible throughout the area, and the neighborhood’s main commercial strips offer a range of everyday retail and dining options.

The covered front porch on the corner lot creates a natural transition between the home and the street, a feature characteristic of Brookland’s residential fabric. The rear deck, accessible from the main-level addition, extends the living area outdoors and connects to the fenced off-street parking area. Fort Totten Metro station, 0.5 miles away, provides direct access to the Red, Green, and Yellow lines, making downtown DC and the broader metro area readily accessible without a car.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

Key details about the residence, building, and location to help you evaluate this opportunity.

The total finished square footage is 1,374 SF, spanning three levels. This includes 966 square feet above grade and 300 square feet of finished space in the lower level, per public records. The main-level rear addition is included within this total.
The home was fully renovated in 2025. Updates include new windows, hardwood flooring throughout, a remodeled kitchen with quartz countertops and new cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, upgraded stainless steel appliances, and updated baths on every level. The wall-mounted electric fireplace and built-in wine storage were also added as part of the renovation.
The home includes fenced off-street parking in the rear yard, accessible from the alley. On-street parking is also available along 8th Street NE. There is no HOA, so parking is deeded with the property and carries no additional monthly fee.
Fort Totten Metro station is 0.5 miles from the home. The station serves the Red, Green, and Yellow lines, providing direct access to downtown DC, Union Station, and points throughout the metro area. Bus service along 8th Street NE offers additional transit options.
There is no HOA or condo association for this property. The home is a fee-simple single-family semi-detached residence, meaning there are no monthly association fees, no shared amenity assessments, and no governing board restrictions beyond DC zoning.
The 2025 annual property tax is $3,699, based on a total assessed value of $584,170. The assessment reflects the 2025 renovation, which significantly increased the building value from prior years. Buyers should confirm current tax figures with DC OTR prior to closing.
The combination of a corner lot, a 2025 full renovation, three finished levels, and no HOA is relatively uncommon in Brookland’s semi-detached inventory. The rear main-level addition expands the floor plan beyond the original 1948 footprint, and the fenced off-street parking adds practical value in an area where parking is often limited.
