Property Description
Welcome to the kind of home buyers hope to find and rarely do. Space. Character. And the ability to move right in without taking on a renovation. If you have been scrolling through endless DC homes for sale and feeling underwhelmed by cookie cutter flips, this one feels different the moment you walk in. The main level greets you with a proper foyer and the kind of layout that just makes sense. Separate living and formal dining spaces give you room to grow into the home, host, and actually live. Original details are intact and full of warmth, balanced by thoughtful updates that make it feel fresh and move in ready. The kitchen has been refreshed, complete with a new dishwasher, and opens directly to the back patio. It is an easy indoor outdoor flow that today's buyers are prioritizing, especially those looking for a little more breathing room in the city. Upstairs is where this home really delivers on what buyers are searching for in a row home in Petworth. The bedrooms are incredibly spacious, far larger than what you typically see. Whether you need a true primary retreat, a guest room, or a dedicated work from home setup, you have options here. The original bathroom has been beautifully maintained, offering that timeless charm that cannot be replicated. Downstairs, you have a full lower level that feels like opportunity. A finished space with a bathroom and washer and dryer already in place, ready to become a guest suite, office, gym, or flex family space depending on your needs. What makes this home even more special is its story. It has been lovingly held in the same family for generations. You feel that care throughout, and now it has been thoughtfully renovated for its next chapter. For a buyer looking for a home with character, not just a quick renovation, this is the kind of opportunity that stands out. And then there is the location. Just blocks from the Upshur corridor, you get everything buyers are searching for when they type in best neighborhoods in DC or homes near restaurants and amenities, without sacrificing the quiet of a residential block. Morning coffee, dinner with friends, yoga, groceries, and neighborhood favorites like San Matteo, Timber Pizza, Menya Hosaki, Little Food Studio, Honeymoon Chicken, and Yes Organic Market are all moments away. From May through November, the Saturday farmers market is right around the corner. The Petworth Library adds another layer of everyday ease and connection. For a buyer looking for more space, more soul, and long term value in the DC real estate market, this is the kind of home that makes the search feel worth it. Schedule your private tour today!
