About This Home
As of November 2020Look no further than this perfect mix of modern updates and original character in sought after Lower Petworth. This home was fully renovated in 2013 leaving a few character points like the original mantel and mirror, as well as the original wainscoting under the main stairs. Walk into the open floor plan living space with natural light flowing from your south facing windows. Plenty of space for entertaining with a dining table easily fitting 6-8 guests, as well as a breakfast bar in your island kitchen. Continual upgrades include a new GE gourmet range and microwave(2020), GE bottom freezer refrigerator and LG full sized front load laundry(2018). Walk past your pantry and main level powder room to your spacious yard with a built in fire pit and 1.5 car garage that measure 23' x 15' and has a door height of 6'10". Your second floor consists of the primary suite with large closet and dual vanity bath with ample storage and frameless glass shower surrounding your multi head shower system. Two more bedrooms as well as a hall bath with soaking tub round out the second floor. The walkout lower level is perfect for a family room or home office and includes the fourth bedroom and third full bath which is perfect for guests. Once the car is parked you can walk to Petworth metro, Upshur St Restaurants and Retail including Timber Pizza and She Loves Me Florist, as well as Safeway and YES! Organic Market. Need more green space than your backyard?
