4327 8th St NW Washington, DC 20011

Listing details for 4327 8th St NW, Washington, DC 20011 : Detached and positioned on a corner across from an open field, 4327 8th ST NW feels remarkably bright and open, with a slate-floored wraparound porch that gives it an unmistakable presence. Rebuilt in 2013, it pairs the character and scale of a neighborhood home with the thoughtful layout, abundant light and flexibility of more modern construction—plus a detached garage and private driveway. The front door opens to a true foyer, where a graceful staircase immediately establishes the character of the home. A coat closet and powder room are positioned just off the entry, leaving the rest of the main floor open and uninterrupted. Living, dining and kitchen spaces flow together at a scale made for both quiet evenings and a full house. The kitchen is substantial, with a large island, gas cooking and an impressive amount of cabinetry. Windows on multiple sides bring sunlight deep into the room, while bamboo hardwood floors, fresh paint, recessed lighting and newly installed fixtures give the interior a clean, cohesive finish. The primary suite occupies a generous portion of the second floor, with space for a sitting area, a walk-in closet with its own window and a private bath with modern vanity, mirror and light with a tub-and-shower combination. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath with a double vanity, and the laundry closet—conveniently located on the bedroom level—includes shelving for linens and supplies. Downstairs, the possibilities expand. Full-size windows, two bedrooms, a full bath, a kitchenette, a living area and a walkout entrance at grade make the lower level far more than an afterthought. It can function as private accommodations for family or guests, a home office suite, recreation space or a combination of all three. Outside, a wrought-iron fence frames the yard, and the detached garage and private driveway eliminate the daily search for parking. An architectural-shingle roof adds durability overhead. The location feels unmistakably Petworth: directly across from the neighborhood recreation fields and just a few blocks from the independent restaurants and gathering places along Upshur Street. Walk to Timber Pizza, San Mateo, Menya Hosaki, Cinder BBQ, the Petworth Community Market, neighborhood shops and cafés, public library, everyday conveniences and the Georgia Ave–Petworth Metro 1/2 mile away. It is a setting that offers both the breathing room of a corner lot and the energy of one of DC’s most beloved neighborhoods.
