This charming fully detached Federal Style home is perfectly located in Petworth just along the border of 16th Street Heights. Enjoy both neighborhoods! The current owner carefully restored and/or retained each element of this gorgeous home. The fenced and landscaped front yard leads to a welcoming front porch ready for entertaining. A wide entry foyer leads to a spacious living room with a gorgeous decorative fireplace. The banquet sized dining room is dinner party ready and opens to the custom kitchen. The kitchen features beautiful cabinetry, generous counter space and chef quality appliances. The open breakfast bar is perfect for casual dining. Just off the kitchen there is a large breakfast room with a glass door leading to the rear garden and patio. Off the breakfast room you will also find a discreetly located powder room and large walk in pantry. Upstairs are three generous bedrooms, including a beautiful owner's bedroom with attached dressing room/sitting room/office and full bath. There is also a large skylit hall bath shared by the other two spacious bedrooms. Not to be missed are the original pine floors throughout the house, pine floors are rarely found in this beautiful condition and are simply too expensive to find in most newer homes. Rounding out this great property is the fully finished lower level which is configured as a fully self sufficient in-law suite with kitchen, living room, full bath and bedroom. The lower level front and rear entries make access a breeze. There are two separate laundry rooms in the house as well. Welcome home!
