About This Home

Tucked into the heart of Hburg’s beloved Brookland Addition neighborhood—known to locals as “Brooklandia”—this updated 1920 brick duplex offers flexibility, rental income, and lifestyle. With two fully separate units and a detached building converted into a media room or studio, it’s a perfect fit for house hackers, multi-generational households, or investors looking to own on one of the city’s coolest blocks. The main-level unit features two bedrooms, two full baths, a bright living room, a well-appointed kitchen with stainless appliances and gas range, and a flexible dining or office area that opens onto a 12x17 back deck—perfect for hosting or outdoor dinners on warm summer nights. Upstairs offers one bedroom, a cozy living room, updated kitchen and bath, a breakfast nook, and a private deck. Out back, you’ll find a fully fenced yard with fruit trees and a great sense of privacy. Just blocks from Westover Park, JMU’s softball and baseball fields, and downtown’s restaurants, breweries, and arts scene, this is a rare opportunity in a neighborhood people love to call home. Both units are tenant-occupied through July 31; showings will be limited to Saturday and the following Tuesday to respect the downstairs tenant’s work schedule.
