    What's special

    Warm and Welcoming, Updated Townhome with Solar Power in the Heart of Petworth Welcome to this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated townhouse nestled on a quiet street in the heart of Petworth. Blending classic charm with modern enhancements, this spacious home features three full bedrooms, three full bathrooms, one half bath, and a fully finished basement, offering comfort and flexibility across all levels. The main level boasts a semi-open floor plan, with a renovated kitchen centrally located between the living room and a cozy sitting room—perfect for entertaining or everyday living. The powder room and upstairs bathrooms have been tastefully updated in recent years, creating a cohesive and refined feel throughout. Modern upgrades include a newer HVAC system and a fully owned 4.6KW solar panel system—an added value of approximately $20K at no additional cost to the new owner—that generates about 7 megawatt-hours per year. This qualifies the home for DC’s Solar Renewable Energy Credit (SREC) program, which also provides annual cash incentives to the new owner. The home's addition features recently replaced Hardie Board siding, enhancing both durability and curb appeal. Step out back to discover a private outdoor retreat featuring a deck, stone patio, and a versatile detached cottage—larger than a typical shed, offering endless possibilities for creative or practical use. This cottage, along with the adjacent area, can serve as a studio, gym, workshop, or storage, and also presents the opportunity for garage off-street parking—a highly desirable feature that adds significant value to any home in this neighborhood. Located just blocks from Petworth’s favorite spots—Timber Pizza, Cinder BBQ, Hitching Post, and the Petworth Farmers Market—you’re also a short walk from Yes! Organic Market, Safeway, and public transit options, with Metro and bus lines nearby for easy commuting. This home offers the perfect balance of thoughtful updates, energy-efficient features, and flexible outdoor space—a rare opportunity in one of DC’s most beloved communities.
