Property Description
Welcome Home to 5220 5th Street NW, a truly special opportunity to own a beautiful top to bottom renovated home on one of Petworth's most cherished and community-driven blocks. This isn't just a home-it's part of a neighborhood unlike any other, where front porch conversations are the norm, neighbors know each other by name, and the energy is shaped by a shared sense of pride and connection. If you're looking for a home, this is it. Set on an exceptionally rare lot-with peaceful front and back yard space-this home stands out from everything else on the market. The expansive backyard is a true urban retreat, featuring a fenced in yard, green grass space for play or outdoor dining and entertaining, along with coveted off-street parking. In a city where private outdoor space and parking are increasingly hard to come by, this property delivers both in spades, making it a rare find in both Petworth and across DC. With three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and a layout designed for today's lifestyle, the home seamlessly blends charm with functionality. The main level features living and dining spaces perfect for gathering or relaxing accentuated by its warm hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, with custom finishes complemented by an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, and a large island, windows and natural light that frames the backyard-creating a sense of connection between indoor and outdoor living. Upstairs, the primary bedroom impresses with an en-suite bath with dual vanities, and ample closet space. An additional primary sized bedroom and a second full bath complete this level. The fully finished walkout basement provides endless flexibility with a family/recreation room and a private guest suite-perfect for out-of-town visitors, in-laws or potential rental opportunities, or a cozy media room or home office. Homes like this-with its location, lot size, character, and community feel-rarely come to market. Don't miss your chance to own a truly one-of-a-kind property in the heart of Petworth.
