Cory's room

This spacious and light-filled single-family home features both modern amenities and architectural character in a fantastic neighborhood.

The stunning three-story property sits on a substantial lot in the historic ‘Petworth Heights’ section of Petworth, a quiet and peaceful community nestled next to the verdant foliage of the Soldiers’ Home National Monument, steps from President Lincoln’s Cottage and Grant Circle and the surrounding triangle parks which radiate through the neighborhood.

The home has 1,000+ square feet of landscaped outdoor space, including a private rear deck and a garden patio for barbecues and secluded relaxation, as well as a front yard with a miniature orchard of fruit trees and breezy covered porch perfect for participating in Petworth’s famous “porch culture”.

The home opens to a front foyer, giving way to a grand entry hall with soaring 11 foot ceilings accented by visible beams. The main floor has four rooms with beautifully restored original antique hardwood floors, a dining room with a chandelier and decorative fireplace and mantle, living room with enormous bay windows, a recently updated kitchen with new appliances, a refinished tile flooring and a built-in pantry, and a half bathroom with new fixtures.

The stairwell is lit up by an enormous skylight, giving way to the second story with 10 foot ceilings, three sizable bedrooms, and a completely renovated full bathroom with a brand new stacked washer/dryer. All bedrooms have transom windows, ceiling fans, and curtain rods. The master bedroom is a sprawling 215 square feet, with two closets and enormous windows. The other two bedrooms are 177 and 120 square feet respectively, and each bedroom has large closets and beautifully restored hardwood floors.

The current roommate is a law school student doing a work study. She is in her 30s and has a small very friendly dog.
