Situated in the heart of Petworth, this 1924-built brick home presents a compelling combination of vintage character and renovation potential. With approximately 1,512 sq ft of living space and a lot size of around 1,728 sq ft, the position and physical structure provide a solid foundation for something exceptional.
Neighborhood & Location Highlights The Petworth neighborhood stands out for its blend of peaceful residential charm and rising urban vitality. Sidewalks, dog-friendly streets, and walks to restaurants and shops are frequent compliments from locals. This home is well-positioned to capture that vibe—offering a base from which to partake in the strong walkability and community pulse.
The Property & Its Potential With 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, the current footprint gives you immediate value—and immediate opportunity. The year-built character (1924) adds historic appeal, while the size and layout give you freedom to refresh, re-imagine or expand. Perhaps rather than just “refresh,” you might consider more substantial transformation: modernization of systems, creative re-layout to suit 21st-century living, or adding value via thoughtful design upgrades.
Why This Matters for Buyers & Investors For a homeowner to update a home in your own way: This is your chance to craft a personalized residence in a vibrant DC neighborhood with strong upside. For an investor or developer: The size and location give strategic leverage—either as a rental play post-rehab or as a value-add project. The entry cost for raw potential like this, in a neighborhood where character and growth are both in play, can translate into significant returns as improvements are made.
