202 W Graham Road
Robinette Corrine Robinson was just shy of her 104th birthday when she passed, and lived at 202 W Graham Road for most of her life. Although very well maintained, the home needed to be restored to its former glory. This home has been completely renovated with its historical beauty intact. A renovation worth the wait!
Welcome home to Battery Park, where walkable tree-lined streets engulf you and friendly neighbors greet you.
Come down the walk to your full front porch equipped with ceiling fan, electrical outlets for string lights and lawn tools, and a front porch swing to pass those long Summer nights or those cool Fall eves.
Let’s Go In for a Spell
Entering the home you will notice the beautifully refinished original hardwood floors. The natural light really showcases the rich textures. Your columned front room has dual transom windows with centered decorative fireplace donning an exposed brick backdrop. Original pocket doors separate your living room to your formal dining area. Dining room has handmade sconces and overhead lighting and plenty of room to entertain your guests.
Let’s Get Cookin’!
Leaving the dining room you’ll find a half bath with cubby shelf and new ceramic tiles. You’ll also have access to the basement stairs, but let’s talk about this galley kitchen first! The kitchen has brand new stainless and black appliances including Samsung refrigerator, wall oven and microwave, spice rack on the hood, granite countertops, subway tile, deep sink and soft close drawers. It also includes disposal, under shelf lighting and handmade pin lights. The best part? Slip into the butler’s pantry where you’ll find a wine cooler, granite countertop with plenty of storage and electrical. Who needs food, you’ve got a nice bar in here! Both kitchen and pantry have exposed brick. You can also venture outside on your back porch if you can’t take the heat!
Retreat Sounds Sweet!
Walk up the nice staircase with landing, exposed brick and portrait mantle. You’re getting sleepier—At the top of the stairs and to your right, you’ll find a cool multi-shelved linen closet, but turn around and you’ll find your bright and beautiful Master bedroom en-suite full bath. Original decorative fireplace, double doored large his/hers/theirs closet, and ceiling fan provide a serene rest-place. Your brand new Master bathroom has a unique antique-styled double vanity with exposed brick backdrop and huge walk-in shower with plenty of splash power.
Down the hallway is where you can soak in the original claw foot tub that was repainted, brand new vanity and a skylight worth sitting long hours in the tub reading. All brand new ceramic tile.
Right across you’ll find a bedroom boasting new flanked closets with reading area in between. Add a bright cushion and turn on the overhead light and it’s storytime! This room also has ceiling fan.
During this quarantined time, you may be looking for a new home office and/or guest room. The rear room is a lovely space with a large closet and access to the balcony for those nice sunny days. A nice bistro set and you’ll be having longer lunch breaks while overlooking your nicely sized backyard. Balcony is also equipped with electrical and outdoor lighting.
Nothing Scary Down Here!
The walk-out basement has been conditioned and waterproofed. New paint, electrical, washer/dryer hook up, hot water heater and mud room sink provide a very perfect storage and laundry area!
Out and About
Your backyard has tons of potential with NEW wooden privacy fence, has been freshly mulched and has on/off-street parking available. Sip easy on the back porch and enjoy!
The street is über quiet. The neighbors are friendly and helpful. The area is super walkable and pet friendly with parks, tennis courts, and nearby swimming pools. Brookland Park Boulevard is a stone’s throw away, lined with new and upcoming restaurants and shops.
A lot of care was taken in the renovation. A lovely and memorable home indeed!
