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 Soldierâs National Cemetery, Retirement Home, and Golf Course.
