Petworth Architectural Gem | Expanded footprint & Exceptional Scale.

Rare and uniquely large semi-detached 1912 residence boasting an uncommonly wide and deep footprint that delivers an immediate sense of grand scale, structural volume, and old-world integrity. This curated home begins in the entry foyer rich in historic millwork, leading to an inviting living room flooded with architectural detail and warmth. The true centerpiece of the main level is a banquet-sized dining room anchored by dramatic original beamed ceilings and a focal-point fireplace, flowing seamlessly into a fully renovated white chef's kitchen equipped with sleek quartz countertops and a large, walk-in pantry with the original built-in cupboard and a wine fridge, plus a main-level powder room. Upstairs, the second level features a lovely primary suite with oversized windows, ample closet space, and en-suite bath, alongside two additional well-proportioned bedrooms, a second full bath, and a private outdoor balcony off the third bedroom. The top level has a wonderful sun-filled room for a home office or bedroom. The fully finished lower level offers an in-law suite complete with a private bedroom, sitting area, kitchenette (with sink and mini-fridge), and full bath. Just a short walk to the Petworth Metro! Barnard ES and MacFarland MS. This property beautifully balances historic character with modern, design-forward utility.
