5040 1st St NW

This sun-drenched corner unit in Berkeley House—a boutique Petworth condominium—is designed for modern living. The expansive open floor plan flows seamlessly into a chef's kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a... convenient breakfast bar. Both bedrooms serve as private retreats with direct bathroom access, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and a marble ensuite with a deep soaking tub. A dedicated laundry closet houses a full-sized washer and dryer with ample room for extra gear. Whether you're hosting a BBQ in the private, fenced courtyard or taking in the skyline from the rooftop deck, you have the best of DC outdoors. Located minutes from both the Fort Totten and Georgia Ave/Petworth Metro stations, you're perfectly positioned to enjoy the neighborhood's vibrant coffee shops and dining scene.
In the heart of DC's Petworth neighborhood, a typical two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment seamlessly blends the area's historic Wardman-style charm with contemporary urban finishes, often featuring wide-plank hardwood floors that run through an expansive open-concept living area. These units, frequently found in boutique converted rowhomes or modern mid-rise developments like those along Georgia Avenue, generally offer a split-wing layout where each sizable bedroom is paired with its own modern bathroom—one typically featuring a glass-enclosed walk-in shower and the other a full soaking tub. The kitchens are designed for the modern entertainer with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, while large windows flood the space with natural light, reflecting the neighborhood's bright and community-oriented atmosphere. Living here places you within a short walk of the Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro and the vibrant Upshur Street corridor, where local favorites like Timber Pizza Co. and various independent bookstores provide a local, "village" feel right in the middle of the city.
