AS SEEN IN URBAN TURF'S "BEST NEW LISTINGS" --- A delightful and unique offering, this hip and charming Petworth townhouse was renovated and expanded in 2013 and has been lovingly maintained since. The distinct finishes of this home offers luminous serenity, creating a peaceful oasis and an escape from the hustle and bustle of city living. Featuring hickory floors throughout, architectural details also include exposed brick from the original structure and rustic wood beams. Rejoice in front-to-back light on the main level! The open floor plan, perfect for entertaining, begins with a long living room with cozy gas fireplace, offering exceptional warmth in the winter months. The modern kitchen has a grand island, espresso cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless appliances. A powder room is adjacent. The bright dining area leads outside through large glass doors to a spectacular deck and yard; the perfect extension of your living room - where you will enjoy grilling, lounging in the sun, or enjoying a cool cocktail after a long day. Upstairs, the large master bedroom overlooks a deep and verdant yard, and offers a deep closet with abundant shelving. The spa-inspired master bath offers dual vessel sinks, a glass shower with travertine tile, bench and teak floor, and ample storage, and the first of three large, upper level skylights. A second bedroom on the front of the house offers high ceilings, a closet and storage loft, and enjoys the tree-top view of Hamilton Street NW. The third bedroom can serve as a wonderful home office or nursery, and features exposed brick, beam, and clerestory windows for gentle natural light throughout the day. A hall bath with travertine tile serves the additional upstairs bedrooms. The third oversized skylight illuminates the upper hallway, where the conveniently located laundry washer and dryer are found. The finished walk-out lower level with built-in bar provides flexible options for dedicated private space or entertaining space, and can easily be used as an in-law suite. An additional bedroom with its own bath has French doors leading out to the custom-landscaped back yard. The private fenced yard features two patio areas and established beds with mature flowering perennials, yet still offers opportunities for the active gardener to add personal touches. The generously-sized lawn, fringed by daffodils, roses and daylilies, extends to a parking pad that can accommodate two vehicles. The quiet block offers easy, unpermitted street parking. Recent upgrades and improvements include comprehensive HVAC maintenance (2019), roof upgrades, new exterior siding, and interior paint. This turnkey house is situated in perennially popular Petworth, a cultural hub of trendy restaurants and bars, parks, bookstores, markets and a tightly knit, engaged community.
