About This Property

Thoughtfully expanded and extensively remodeled between 2022-2023, this distinctive Petworth residence offers something increasingly rare in a DC row house: a truly exceptional floor plan. Rather than conforming to the traditional narrow, compartmentalized layout, the home was reimagined around the way people actually live.The main level is particularly compelling, with separate living, family, and dining rooms that provide a sense of distinction and flexibility rarely found in the neighborhood. A dedicated mudroom adds an unexpected—and exceptionally practical—touch. A practical half bath completes this floor. Upstairs, three generously proportioned bedrooms offer genuine versatility, with enough space for comfortable furnishings, work-from-home needs, or guests without sacrificing one room to the dreaded “third bedroom” designation. The ensuite primary bath and secondary hall bathroom are both as functional as they are beautiful.The lower level provides the third full bathroom and a large flex space to use as recreation room, fourth bedroom, or even a gym/office hybrid. The home's thoughtful design continues outdoors, where an exceptionally deep backyard creates a versatile private retreat with room for entertaining, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Two-car off-street parking behind the fenced yard, accessed from the alley, completes an unusually compelling package.With its thoughtful expansion and renovation, gracious room proportions, highly functional layout, deep backyard, and two-car parking, this is a home that offers the character of a DC row house with a level of livability that is anything but typical.
