About this property
Charming DC Carriage House: Perfect for Couples, Small Families Weekend Trips
Tucked in one of Washington DC’s most charming and quiet neighborhoods, this newly built second floor ADU apartment offers the perfect mix of comfort, privacy, and convenience. Whether you’re visiting for work, exploring the capital’s museums, or simply seeking a peaceful getaway, our cozy 1-bedroom space was thoughtfully designed to feel like home from the moment you arrive.
You’ll enjoy your own private entrance, dedicated parking, and a layout that makes smart use of every inch of its 450 square feet all bathed in natural light with 10-foot ceilings that make the space feel open and airy.
Modern Comforts in a Compact, Stylish Space
Completed in 2025, the apartment was purpose built for guests who appreciate design, comfort, and a seamless stay. Inside, you’ll find:
1 Bedroom with Queen Bed – Soft linens, blackout shades, and a convenient desk create the perfect space for rest or remote work.
Living Room with Double Pull Out Sofa. A comfortable spot to unwind or accommodate extra guests, complete with a 50" smart TV for streaming your favorite shows.
Full Kitchen: Cook like home with a range, oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, and coffee maker, plus cookware and utensils ready for you to use.
Full Bathroom – Bright and modern with a walk-in shower, complete with soaps, shampoo, conditioner, and a hair dryer for your convenience.
In-Unit Full Size Washer & Dryer: Perfect for longer stays or freshening up mid-trip.
High-Speed Wi-Fi: Stream, video call, or work remotely without a hitch.
Keyless Entry: Smooth, secure self-check-in whenever you arrive.
Private & Peaceful Access
You’ll have complete privacy during your stay. The apartment sits fully detached above our garage, not a basement or shared space.
Access is easy through your own private entrance via the alley or through our shared yard.
Parking options include:
1 private parking space directly adjacent to the ADU
Free street parking right out front
We’ve also added a convenient EV charger for guests who drive electric, no need to search around the neighborhood for a charging station.
Bright Mornings, Easy Evenings
Natural light pours through the large windows, making mornings cheerful and afternoons perfect for relaxing or catching up on emails at the desk. In the evening, unwind on the sofa with a movie, enjoy dinner at home, or stroll through the quiet, tree-lined streets of Brookland. A historic DC neighborhood known for its peaceful vibe, friendly neighbors, and easy access to downtown.
A Neighborhood with Character
Brookland is one of DC’s best kept secrets, close to everything, yet blissfully calm.
1 block to the G8 Metro Bus, with direct stops to Catholic University of America (CUA) and downtown DC.
1.5-mile walk to the CUA Metro Station for easy connections throughout the city.
2.0 miles to Washington Hospital Center, Children’s National, and MedStar, ideal for visiting medical professionals or family members.
Quick access to restaurants, coffee shops, and local parks nearby.
Short Uber or Metro ride to Union Station, Capitol Hill, Downtown DC, and all the iconic museums and monuments DC has to offer.
Brookland feels like a small town within the city, charming, residential, and full of character. You can start your morning with coffee from nearby Zekes café, take a walk past local art studios, and be downtown in minutes.
Pet Friendly
We understand that pets are family, too! Well-behaved dogs are welcome in our ADU. The neighborhood is great for walks, with sidewalks, parks, and shaded streets nearby.
Perfect for Every Type of Traveler
This space was designed to adapt to different kinds of guests:
Business travelers will love the quiet atmosphere, high-speed internet, and desk setup.
Couples can enjoy a romantic DC getaway in a bright, private retreat.
Visiting families will find it easy to stay near Catholic University or downtown while having a comfortable home base.
Medical professionals will appreciate the proximity to Washington Hospital Center and the easy commute.
