Description

This one-of-kind updated modern 4-bedroom and 2.5-bathroom semi-detached end residence offers a generous 2,664sf of living area on an extra-wide, corner lot! The open floor plan provides circular entertaining flow leading to one of the most expansive, TWO-TIER upper and lower decks in Petworth! From the foyer to the spacious living room, this home smiles welcome. The elegant, formal dining room leads to a chefs showcase kitchen with white quartz counters and a center island for gathering and lingering. Bright, natural light illuminates from front, side and rear windows, all with custom window blinds. A rear main-floor sun room/sitting area spills onto a splendid backyard sanctuary with a deck perfect for al dente grilling, wining and dining. A main-floor powder room completes the package. On the upper level is a spacious primary bedroom with a sitting area/study plus a walk-in closet. Both of the two additional bedrooms have a bonus sunroom, which can be a home office/study or a future additional bathroom. The lower level, with separate side and rear entrances, includes an independent in-law, au-pair or guest suite living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and a second laundry room in addition to one in the main house. The original connecting staircase to the basement is intact, should the new owner prefer to rejoin the basement suite with the one in the main house. The corner location affords the house three - at front, side and rear - private entrances. There is off-street parking for two cars entered via side street, Ingraham St NW. The superbly central location ensures an easy commute to Downtown DC or north to Maryland with a bus stop a block away and near major commuter routes. Georgia Ave NW, Kennedy St NW and Upshur St NW. Triangle Park, Rock Creek Park and Truesdell Elementary School are a wink away!
