    What's special

    Timeless Charm Meets Modern Comfort. Thoughtfully renovated in 2013, this home maintains historic features including the original mantel, mirror, and elegant staircase wainscoting. South-facing windows flood this home with natural light while the open concept main level offers the perfect layout for entertaining—providing the comfort for a substantial dining area between a large gourmet kitchen with kitchen island, and a spacious living room. An extra deep lot offers a large, private backyard with a built-in fire pit that further adds to incredible indoor/outdoor entertaining. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes an impressive en-suite bath with dual-vanity and a sleek, glassed-in frameless multi-head shower. You are also met with an additional large bedroom and full guest bath, as well as a custom built walk-in closet converted from a fourth bedroom. Depending on your needs, this could easily be converted back into a fourth bedroom/home office. The walkout lower level features a versatile family room, and offers a third bedroom and full bath—an ideal setting for guests. All with close proximity to Petworth Metro, Upshur Street’s restaurants and grocery stores, including Timber Pizza, Safeway, and YES! Organic Market, and nearby green spaces like Grant Circle and the Petworth Rec Center. An oversized detached 1.5-car garage (23' x 15', 6'10" clearance) offers the added bonus of a large car and plenty of extra storage space.
