Warm and Welcoming, Updated Townhome with Solar Power in the Heart of Petworth Welcome to this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated townhouse nestled on a quiet street in the heart of Petworth. Blending classic charm with modern enhancements, this spacious home features three full bedrooms, three full bathrooms, one half bath, and a fully finished basement, offering comfort and flexibility across all levels. The main level boasts a semi-open floor plan, with a renovated kitchen centrally located between the living room and a cozy sitting room-perfect for entertaining or everyday living. The powder room and upstairs bathrooms have been tastefully updated in recent years, creating a cohesive and refined feel throughout. Modern upgrades include a newer HVAC system and a fully owned 4.6KW solar panel system (a $20K option that transfers with the purchase) that generates approximately 7 megawatt-hours per year, making the home eligible for DC's Solar Renewable Energy Credit (SREC) program-offering money back to the new owners every year. The home's addition features recently replaced Hardie Board siding, enhancing both durability and curb appeal. Step out back to discover a private outdoor retreat featuring a deck, stone patio, and a versatile detached cottage-larger than a typical shed, offering endless possibilities for creative or practical use. This cottage, along with the adjacent area, can serve as a studio, gym, workshop, or storage, and also presents the opportunity for garage off-street parking-a highly desirable feature that adds significant value to any home in this neighborhood. Located just blocks from Petworth's favorite spots-Timber Pizza, Cinder BBQ, Hitching Post, and the Petworth Farmers Market-you're also a short walk from Yes! Organic Market, Safeway, and public transit options, with Metro and bus lines nearby for easy commuting. This home offers the perfect balance of thoughtful updates, energy-efficient features, and flexible outdoor space-a rare opportunity in one of DC's most beloved communities.
