$2200 - 3 br/2 bath rowhouse (haunted) - (brookland, dc)

three bedroom, two bath rowhouse for rent starting june 1. three stories. somewhat haunted.

spacious living room, dining room. newly refurbished kitchen, plus adequate mudroom space for bikes or projects. front porch perfect for relaxing on warm summer days. occasional mournful sobs with no discernable source can be drowned out by loud music or conversation.

half-finished basement inhabited by the malevolent spirits of a fin-de-siecle inventor and his comely daughter, bellatrix, complete with one-and-a-half-bath and on-site laundry. separate basement entrance. do not linger here.

second story has full bath, master bedroom, and two smaller, connected bedrooms that can be separated by a curtain. master bedroom has access to a mazelike passageway whose structure and appearance seem to defy basic laws of physics and architecture. the passageway branches off in seemlingly infinite twists and turns that should by all reasonable logic be leading into the other rooms of the house, the neighbors houses, sometimes through time itself. those who enter these rooms are sometimes swallowed whole, only to be regurgitated again weeks later babbling meaningless stories about the past, about lost loved ones, and often showing marked aversions to darkness and wind. heed the warnings of these lost souls. venture not into the passageways! stick to the rooms you are provided! only misery may befall those who wander too far within this house of horrors. misery and plenty of sunlight.

ample backyard has two driveway spaces, patio, and comes equipped with table/chairs. wailing and moaning heard inside the house is rarely heard in the backyard.

located in pleasant neighborhood with good sense of community. kids are friendly, and rarely venture into the well-maintained front yard for fear that the spirit they've nicknamed "Tabitha Boneface" will capture them and turn them into chickens to make into matzoh ball soup.
