New Price. Welcome Home to 5220 5th Street NW, a truly special opportunity to own a beautiful top to bottom renovated home on one of Petworth’s most cherished and community-driven blocks. This isn’t just a home—it’s part of a neighborhood unlike any other, where front porch conversations are the norm, neighbors know each other by name, and the energy is shaped by a shared sense of pride and connection. If you’re looking for a home, this is it.
Set on an exceptionally rare lot—with peaceful front and back yard space—this home stands out from everything else on the market. The expansive backyard is a true urban retreat, featuring a fenced in yard, green grass space for play or outdoor dining and entertaining, along with coveted off-street parking.

The main level features living and dining spaces perfect for gathering or relaxing accentuated by its warm hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, with custom finishes complemented by an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, and a large island, windows and natural light that frames the backyard—creating a sense of connection between indoor and outdoor living. Upstairs, the primary bedroom impresses with an en-suite bath with dual vanities, and ample closet space. An additional primary sized bedroom and a second full bath complete this level.
The fully finished walkout basement provides endless flexibility with a family/recreation room and a private guest suite—perfect for out-of-town visitors, in-laws or potential rental opportunities, or a cozy media room or home office. Homes like this—with its location, lot size, character, and community feel—rarely come to market. Don’t miss your chance to own a truly one-of-a-kind property in the heart of Petworth.
