Built in 1911, remodeled in 2017, polished up this month, this large Petworth rowhouse is very modern but still has period details, giving the owners the best of both worlds. Enter from the comfortable front porch into the gracious front entrance hallway. The living room is flooded with natural light coming from the large front windows. The large gourmet kitchen opens onto the dining area with plenty of room for a good-sized table. The kitchen has a big peninsula and lots of storage including a hall pantry. An enclosed sunporch with a powder room and coat closet runs across the back of the house. This is very versatile space which can be used as a home office, den, or playroom. The sunporch opens onto a deck overlookimg the fenced back yard. Upstairs there are two good-sized bedrooms and a hall bath with a vintage tub in addition to an owners' suite with a large bedroom and attached bath and an enclosed sleeping porch with many possibilities for use, including a home office, sitting area, tv room, or nursery. The lower level is very useful space, with a large tile-floored room, full bath, additional storage, and laundry room with rear door opening onto the back yard. In 2017 the current owners remodeled the interior and replaced the roof and added two skylights (one with solar tubing which catches light throughout the day). They also replaced the deck, installed central air, and put in comfortable cork flooring in the upstairs sleeping porch and kitchen. 4.5 kw solar panels were installed in 2013. The house is freshly painted and the floors were just refinished. This wonderful house is located about .6 mi from the Petworth Metro. Yes! Organic, Safeway, Ace Hardware, Cider House, a weekly farmers' market, the public library, numerous restaurants, and nearby schools and parks are in walking distance.
