The one thing I have struggled with is to figure out if dgraph is strictly a triple/rdf graphdb or can it act as a labeled propery graph? For my usecase, I think I would prefer being able to add properties to Vertices and Edges, instead of those properties becoming new vertices and edges. IS that possible in Dgraph?

Dgraph doesn't really fit into those descriptions of "RDF graph DB" or "property graph". It's quite a different design. You can read about it here [1].

I think you're talking about facets: [2]. They can be attached to edges, and Dgraph supports retrieving them and filtering on them.
