Best New Listings: A Speakeasy In The Basement
✉️ Want to forward this article? Click here.
This week’s Best New Listings includes a Brookland home with a secret in the basement and a skinny condo alternative off U Street.
A Speakeasy In The Basement In Brookland
This four-bedroom in Brookland has tremendous curb appeal and an intriguing secret in the basement. The striking home has the original 1920 pine floors, and the beams that line the ceiling on the first level are all reclaimed wood. The listing agent tells UrbanTurf that a fully outfitted carriage house would make a great income unit, guest suite or creative workspace. But perhaps the coolest nugget is that the basement housed a speakeasy during Prohibition, and that there was a little door into an area where liquor bottles could be concealed in the wall.

Upstairs, there are two equally spacious bedrooms, two skylights, a renovated bathroom and a newly renovated laundry room.
