Welcome to 904 Emerson Street NW, a thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom rowhouse in the vibrant Petworth neighborhood—offering an incredibly rare opportunity: an assumable VA loan at just 2.375% for qualified buyers. From the financial savings to the stylish upgrades, this home delivers value at every turn. The main level welcomes you with warm hardwood floors, crown molding, and a functional open layout that flows effortlessly from the living room to the kitchen. The eat-in island kitchen is both practical and inviting, with white cabinetry, updated stainless steel appliances, and generous counter space. A built-in bench offers cozy seating for casual meals or conversation. Step right outside onto an elevated deck that overlooks the freshly landscaped backyard—a newly sodded green space designed for low-maintenance outdoor enjoyment. Upstairs, natural light pours into the skylit primary suite. The updated en-suite bath features modern tilework and a soaking tub—perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. Two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. The fully finished lower level adds even more living space, complete with a full bathroom, wet bar, and open layout ideal for a media room, gym, or extended-stay guests. Eco-conscious buyers will appreciate the fully owned 20-panel, 6.5 kW Boviet solar system, which has averaged 135 kWh of energy per week—meaning significantly lower utility bills and long-term savings. Homes like this don’t come around often—especially not with a locked-in interest rate this low. Don’t wait. Schedule your private showing today and take advantage of this rare financial opportunity in one of DC’s most popular neighborhoods.
