Property Description
Welcome to this turnkey 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath townhome nestled in the heart of Petworth, DC, just two blocks from the iconic Sherman Circle and seven blocks from the vibrant Upshur dining scene. Thoughtfully updated with impeccable finishes and maintained like-new (since fully renovated in late 2019), this home offers the perfect blend of modern elegance and historic charm.
The front porch is an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the outdoors, overlooking a recently installed garden featuring French lavender, rosemary, junipers, a hydrangea, creeping phlox (which flowers each spring), and a Japanese maple providing privacy. With the Rock Creek Park entrance just five blocks west, you’ll have easy access to nature and endless recreation. Not to mention, every house surrounding your home is well cared for by great neighbors.
Inside, you will find a wider-than-usual townhome floor plan with an open concept and large, light-filled frameless casement windows. Wide plank pine floors adorn the main and top floors. A wood accent has been installed on the ceiling of the kitchen and the primary bedroom wall, adding a unique and cozy touch to the space.
The home’s lower level features a connected basement with income producing potential including a separate laundry, kitchen, full bathroom with a tiled shower, and two bedrooms, previously generating $2,000 per month for the owners—a substantial break from the mortgage payment. With both front and back entrances, it offers exceptional privacy and convenience for tenants or visiting guests.
Upstairs, you will find the expected accoutrements, including a vaulted-ceiling primary bedroom suite with a skylit dual vanity bathroom. Each closet on the top floor has been outfitted with custom Elfa closet systems from the Container Store. Two more bedrooms, another set of laundry machines, and a full bathroom with a soaking tub complete the top floor.
The backyard features a Trex deck large enough to fit all of your outdoor furniture and a grill. A large sunshade has been installed to provide extra shade, and a commercial-grade roll-up garage door offers easy access for parking. A dog run with brand new Syn-Lawn grass, along with another beautiful Japanese maple tree sits next to the concrete pad, and an electric car charger was installed in 2022.
Live amidst the tight-knit Petworth community, known for its annual Porchfest and Petworth Peanuts activities. The Metro on Georgia Avenue is also easily accessible! Plus, with the new Whole Foods at Walter Reed just minutes away and Timber Pizza, Cinder BBQ, Menya Hosaki, and Hitching Post all just seven blocks away; this home is perfectly positioned for comfortable city living.
