About This Home
Built in 1916 and anchored on a corner lot nestled in the vibrant Petworth community, this end-of-row Federal brick townhouse is one of the neighborhood's most character-rich offerings. Three bedrooms, two baths, a finished basement with wet bar and a walk-in attic--all wrapped in classic masonry that has stood for over a century. The inviting fireplace serves as a focal point for the spacious living and dining rooms on the main floor. A bus stop is beside the home and the Petworth Metro Station is less than a mile away, ensuring convenient transportation options for commuting or enjoying downtown DC. This is not a home you decorate. This is a home you restore, reimagine, and make legendary. For the buyer who sees history as an opportunity, the bones here are extraordinary. Renovation financing available. Ask about FHA 203(k) options.
