Welcome to 417 Emerson Street NW, a character-filled and thoughtfully renovated row home on one of Petworth's most beloved blocks. This isn't just a house-it's part of a true community, where front-porch conversations and neighborly connection define daily life. Set on an extra-deep lot-nearly twice the length of most in the area- this property offers exceptional outdoor space, including new sod, refreshed landscaping, a recently stained fence (2025), a generous patio, 2022 storage shed, and off-street parking via a new back gate (2023). The front walkway and flat roof with tuned-up slate mansard (2025) add peace of mind and curb appeal. Inside, warm hardwood floors lead to a spacious, open-concept main level with dedicated living and dining areas that flow seamlessly into a renovated kitchen (2017, new flooring 2025) featuring custom cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, and a picture window overlooking the backyard. The main floor also includes a half bath and a designated work space - great for kids or working from home. There is plenty of storage including a thoughtfully designed coat closet and a walk-through storage closet. Upstairs, the primary suite shines with an updated en-suite bath (2016), while two additional bedrooms, each with flex or play space, share a renovated hall bath. The finished lower level offers a family room, built-in bar, half bath, and laundry, ideal for a gym, media room, additional office, or guests. Major upgrades include a fully owned 15-panel, 5.475 kW Solar Energy Services system (2020) generating RECs worth $400 each, new kitchen floor/subfloor (2025), HardiePlank siding, electric panel, windows, bathrooms, and mini-split systems (2019) in all upper bedrooms. Located just off Sherman Circle, near Timber Pizza, Cinder BBQ, Upshur Street dining, and Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro, this home perfectly blends charm, function, and community. All square footage is approximate.
