About This Home

The first thing you notice at 517 Montana Ave NE #2 is the light! Sunlight pours in through oversized windows that make the whole home feel bright, calm, and a little bit cinematic. If you've been craving a space that looks good at every hour of the day (and makes your houseplants feel deeply appreciated), this is it. Inside, the design leans modern without trying too hard: wide-plank oak floors, clean lines, and a layout that flows the way homes should but rarely do. The kitchen is the real showstopper, anchored by a large quartz island that instantly becomes command central; morning coffee, laptop time, dinner prep, and the occasional “let's just order takeout” moment. European cabinetry, black stainless appliances, and a pot-filler give it a polished, restaurant-worthy feel, and yes, there's a proper bar setup complete with open shelving and a wine fridge. Entertaining is easy here, and the main-level powder room means guests never have to venture too far. This residence offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a serene corner retreat with floor-to-ceiling windows and an en-suite bath that looks like it was pulled from a design magazine. Large-format marble tile, a rainfall shower, and modern black fixtures make your morning routine feel spa-like. Two additional bedrooms give you options. Enjoy your own office, guest space, gym or hobby room. There is a separate storage area downstairs included. The location continues the theme: connected, convenient, and part of a rapidly transforming neighborhood. The Edgewood Recreation Center (with a free gym, soccer field, and tennis and basketball courts) is only 2 blocks away, and the The Red Line is a 12 min walk via the Metropolitan Branch Trail. The brand-new Trader Joe's is just next to the Brookland Metro Station, easy access on your way home from work. The MB trail is a delight for joggers, bikers and commuters and goes all the way to Union Station. Local favorites—from no-frills community spots, to the Alamo Theater and Metro Bar to creative arts spaces—give the area its character. It's urban living with a sense of ease, in a home that feels both sophisticated and genuinely comfortable. Tenants responsible for electric, cable/internet and renter's insurance.
