Imagine yourself relaxing on the back deck or pergola topped patio of this south-facing sunny back yard in the heart of Petworth – where timeless DC charm meets modern convenience. This spacious and stunning 4 bedroom / 3.5 bath fully gutted rowhome feels practically brand new at only 4 years young. The main level offers a bright and open floor plan - perfect for entertaining, anchored by a gourmet kitchen with classic grey cabinets, modern subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances with separate wall-mounted range hood, white quartz countertops, and a breakfast bar counterspace big enough to seat 4. A convenient ½ bath and coat closet round out the main floor amenities that are on most buyer’s “must-have” lists! Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes an ensuite bath and a custom closet maximizing the storage space. Rounding out the floor are 2 more generous size bedrooms in the back that share a full bath in the hallway providing plenty of room to grow, host, or work from home. Downstairs, the fully finished basement features a rec room area, wet bar with even more cabinet storage, private bedroom, full bath, and walk-out rear exit making this area a perfect place for guests, au-pair, in-laws, or short-term rental potential. And there is a wall of built-in shelving if you want to let your craft flag fly or just need extra storage solutions. You (2nd owner) benefit greatly by inheriting the worry-free basement waterproofing upgrades installed by the sellers that includes a French drain and sump pump system. Finally, step outside and soak up the sunshine in the terraced, south-facing backyard oasis, complete with deck, patio, pergola, and green space. The sellers spared no expense in making this retreat a reality. Here’s the kicker – a rare two-car secure detached garage in Petworth as most District dwellers know is nearly unheard of. Located just off Sherman Circle, you're only a 15-minute stroll to the Petworth/Georgia Ave Metro, Upshur Street restaurants, Yes! Organic Market, Safeway, and Rock Creek Park all close by. BONUS: VA buyers may qualify for an assumable 2.5% loan—a serious win in today’s market. This is not your average Petworth rowhome—it's stylish, solid, and move-in ready. Come see why this one stands out from the rest!
