Bright and spacious 740-square-foot one-bedroom English basement apartment with a private entrance in a detached home on a quiet residential block in the Georgia Avenue Petworth neighborhood. The newly installed floors and freshly painted unit features a kitchen with easy-care resilient tile flooring, abundant cabinet storage, refrigerator/freezer, gas range, microwave and garbage disposal; a comfortable living room and bedroom; three large closets; and a tiled bathroom with tub and shower. Selected furnishings are currently available for the tenant's use if desired. Electricity, water, gas and Verizon Fios tv and internet are included, and access to the home's washer and dryer can be arranged. On-street parking is generally readily available, and the Georgia Ave Petworth Metro Green-line station is a 10 12-minute walk. Street parking is available with a resident's permit. The apartment's layout is especially well suited to someone seeking a comfortable, private one-bedroom home.

Petworth is a residential neighborhood in northwest Washington, DC, with tree-lined streets and a mix of rowhouses, apartment buildings and small commercial corridors.

Grant Circle and Sherman Circle provide green open space, while nearby parks and recreation areas offer room for outdoor walks and play. Georgia Avenue and Upshur Street bring together local restaurants, coffee shops, groceries and everyday services; the neighborhood’s history is also reflected in its longstanding rowhouse blocks and civic landmarks. Arts and nightlife are more low-key than in central DC, with neighborhood spots alongside easy access to the city’s wider cultural scene. Residents get around by bus, bicycle and car, with Petworth and Georgia Avenue–Petworth Metro stations connecting the area to other parts of Washington.
