Description

A property you must see, call your agent or me! Large semi-detached corner property with great potential. This home is a diamond in the rough, just waiting for a beauty makeover by the new owner. You must see it to believe all the possibilities! This delightful 5-bedroom, three-story row house has a walkout basement which has its own rear entrance, shower bath, and kitchen area. Hardwood floors on main and top levels plus energy-efficient windows throughout. Climate is controlled via Central AC, hot water radiator heat, and a fireplace and modern working appliances mean the house is currently completely livable. Back-of-house extensions need some modernization and weatherizing, or, you could open up the rear entirely to create a full backyard double-deck and patio experience. While the kitchens and bathrooms are a bit old-fashioned, both the water and electrical services have already been updated! The Large yard offers potential for off-street parking. Install a solar roof or close your eyes and imagine building a cozy rooftop garden with a breathtaking 360 view of the city. With a little extra money and city permits you could make it happen; then sit in your garden and watch your equity grow! Awesome location in Petworth with everything you need in a 2-mile radius. Walk to Metrorail, three bus lines or several neighborhood restaurants nearby. Take an after-dinner stroll to visit the historic Lincoln Home and museum, or the Old Soldier’s National Cemetery, Retirement Home, and Golf Course. Take the kids to Petworth DC Public Library, Petworth Recreation Center, enroll in public and private schools including the Kirov Academy of Ballet and Washington Yu Ying (Immersion) Public Charter School. Choice of three nearby universities – walk to Howard U, Catholic U, and Trinity College all only a few short blocks away. An additional few miles adds Gallaudet University. Bike lanes abound!
