5401 Clarendon Road

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.

Two stories and a finished basement give this 1940 brick house a way of separating daily life that a single-floor apartment can't. The trade-off is that moving between floors means using the stairs. 5401 Clarendon Road is a Tudor Revival-inspired red brick rowhouse on a corner lot, with three bedrooms and 1,352 square feet, and its steep front gable and stone accents give it a look that stands out.

The finished basement has full-height ceilings and above-grade windows, and it was used as a working office with egress at the front and back. That makes it a practical room for a home office, a guest room or extra storage, depending on how you use the house.

The kitchen has a gas cooktop, a gas oven, a refrigerator and stainless steel appliances. The washer and dryer are in the unit, so laundry never requires leaving the house, and a wet bar adds a second place to set up drinks. The listing describes natural light from dual exposures in the kitchen and living areas, which helps those rooms feel open.

Outdoor space comes in several forms here: a porch, a deck, a balcony and a private yard. The listing also notes private outdoor space under 60 square feet. A private yard in the city is a meaningful amenity, and it sits alongside the deck and porch rather than replacing them.

For daily errands, Green Acre Farms supermarket is about 6 minutes on foot, and Footprints Café is about 6 minutes as well. Harry Maze Playground is about 3 minutes away, with Fidler-Wyckoff House Park about 6 minutes and Tilden Playground about 9.
