About This Home
As of March 2025Discover this captivating end-unit row home in Petworth, complete with off-street parking and a perfect blend of modern updates and timeless character. The expansive front porch welcomes you into a bright and inviting main level, featuring a living room with a striking tray ceiling, a thoughtfully designed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a dining area, and a cozy sitting nook. Warmth and elegance flow through the home, highlighted by wood flooring recently refinished in June 2024.

Both the front and back gardens are enhanced by an irrigation system, keeping the outdoor space lush and vibrant year-round. Solar panels add efficiency and sustainability by significantly reducing electricity costs and generating additional income through the sale of solar credits.

Two additional bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with built-in storage (including a Murphy bed), are complemented by a second full bathroom and a convenient full-size washer and dryer.
The versatile lower level offers incredible flexibility, whether as a private in-law suite, playroom, or a separate apartment. Previously generating approximately $18,000 annually in rental income, this space is equipped with its own kitchenette featuring a sink, microwave, cabinetry, ample counter space, and refrigerator. A washer and dryer are included in a separate second laundry area. The lower level also features a mudroom and spacious storage room. With direct access to the back patio area, this level provides both comfort and privacy.
Off-street parking for two cars, proximity to the Metro, and access to Georgia Avenue bus lines make commuting seamless.
