Move in just in time for Petworth Porchfest, DC's premier neighborhood music festival. This is the perfect Petworth home you've been waiting for this spring. This exquisite 5BD/3.5BA GRANDE DAME originally built in 1914, has been gorgeously restored and renovated by its owners, setting it apart from the typical gut renovations. It preserves the original charm, elegance and traditional layout without sacrificing modern bells and whistles. Most recent almost $50K renovations were done in May 2026. Located in a highly desirable neighborhood of Petworth, it is a short walk to the Upshur St restaurant scene, neighborhood amenities and event locations, the Petworth / Georgia Ave metro station, the Rec Center, two supermarkets, and much, much more. The residence's stately elegance is reminiscent of historic homes found in Capitol Hill, Mount Pleasant and Cleveland Park. Distinctive features to name a few include a large welcoming front porch, an ultra-wide profile, original front door with charming leaded glass panels and with a Ring doorbell camera, an inviting grand foyer, beautiful original molding and millwork, medallions, refinished hardwood and parquet floors, period doorknobs, NEW light fixtures though-out the home and freshly painted designer colors throughout the interior and the exterior. And a few very rare period architectural gems: two sets of original working pocket doors that separate the foyer from the living room and the living room from the dining room and the original swinging butler’s door between the dining room and kitchen. The modern kitchen, featuring dual-tone cabinets and stainless-steel appliances, including new wine fridge and large capacity French door refrigerator, is ready for your next gathering. The perfect socializing areas on the first floor include a modern color drenched large dining room with original picture rail and built-in leaded glass cabinets, inviting living room with gas fireplace, the perfect powder room and a renovated high-ceiling sunroom with tons of natural light that opens to a true backyard oasis: spacious Trex deck with a large green lawn, beautifully landscaped yard, a fire area for the fall to prepare s’mores, and a gorgeous just-installed modern style wood fence. This stunner offers magnificent outdoor spaces in which to entertain with your friends and family—host BBQs and al-fresco dinner parties for years to come. You must come see it in person! The second floor has three generous bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The star of the show is the large owner's suite, which features a walk-in closet and original wood trim, and a luxe en suite bathroom with dual sinks, numerous large windows, and a walk-in, glass-enclosed rain shower. The newly renovated second upper level could be used as a guest bedroom, extra storage, kids' playroom, art studio, at-home office or meditation space. The lower level is a complete home in and of itself, with a full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, W&D nook, and spacious living area that accommodates a dining table and home office setup, making it the perfect au pair, in-law, guest suite, or an income-producing Air BnB vacation rental. Very flexible space with its own separate entrance from the front of the house and also a back door that connects with the backyard entertainment area. This is truly a dream home, in a class of its own in Petworth - you must see it to believe it!
