Description of 1260 Kearny St, Washington, DC 20017

Listing details for 1260 Kearny St, Washington, DC 20017 : Did you ever want to be a part of history? Your opportunity is here! Part of the Jehiel Brooks Farm, this area was first subdivided into Brookland in 1887; Catholic U, Fransican Monastery, & St Anthony's Church all became part of the original development, urging immigrants to settle here. 1260 Kearny St was built sometime between 1900-1905, & was originally a stop for farmers from NC bringing their wares to the North to sell. The nearby streetcar and B&O train gave access to the western states--making it a perfect place to stop & also gave folks a reason to move 'out of the city' as commuting was easy to do. In the roaring 20s this home doubled as a speakeasy hidden in the top floor attic! Life at 1260 Kearny pivoted in the 40s and 50s to being a rooming house, family residence, & eventually rental housing for several notable punk rock bands and musicians of the 80s. Check out the Banned in DC book in the home featuring pictures taken inside the house! The late 80s brought the property back to being a single family home .. continuing the tradition as a prized place for creativity & artistry. The home is situated on a large lot (7500sqft) with a flat backyard, including a driveway easement in the rear to provide off street parking. Original porches (front & back) have been enclosed, now offering places to sit and relax. Details like original glass knobs & solid wood doors, original hardwood floors are all still present, providing charm you don't often find! The main level is spacious & flows easily between the large foyer, living room and dining room with a bay window. The kitchen is large, offering opportunity to create a place any chef would enjoy cooking! The rear sunroom and patio overlook the sunny backyard ready to garden. Upstairs the large PBR offers kingsized space & opens to the sitting room (used as WFH) or nursery/small 3rd BR; the 2nd BR is quite large w/another bay window. Stairs lead to the semi-finished attic space .. it would make an ideal space to fully finish and enjoy! French drains/waterproofing were done on each of the 2 sides of the house several years ago & have kept the basement dry. Brookland...did you know that Brookland-CUA Metro is about 6 blocks away? or Rhode Island-Brentwood metro stop is 1 mi away? Catholic University & the Arts Walk (farmer's market every Sat year round!) are just a half-mile away! Dining Out? Primrose, Busboys and Poets, Masala Story, Taste Makers, Right Proper Brewing, and The Dew Drop Inn are all within blocks of this home. Prefer cooking at home? Trader Joe's is your market!
