Welcome to this beautifully renovated, pet-friendly 3BR/2.5BA rowhome in the sought-after Petworth neighborhood. Blending modern design with historic charm, this home offers over 2,000 sq ft of living space, with east- and west-facing windows that... flood the home with natural light throughout the day.

The main level features an open-concept layout, ideal for both everyday living and hosting. A recently remodeled kitchen gleams with stainless steel appliances and new cabinetry, while hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and smart lock entry add comfort and style throughout. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The cozy, partially finished basement offers space for a 4th bedroom as well as in-unit laundry and flexible space for a home office, gym, or media room. Outside, a charming covered front porch and a fenced backyard with a patio create perfect spaces for relaxation and entertaining.

Just minutes from Rock Creek Park, this home is 10 minutes to MedStar/VA hospitals, 30 minutes to Georgetown/Walter Reed, and close to Georgia Ave-Petworth (Green Line) and Fort Totten (Red/Green Line) Metro stations, along with bus routes D44 and 64.
