Welcome to 917 Decatur St NW, a beautifully reimagined row home that blends timeless charm with modern updates in the heart of Washington, DC’s vibrant Petworth/Brightwood Park community. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal makes a statement—the freshly repainted exterior, and welcoming front porch set the tone for a home that’s been meticulously upgraded from top to bottom. Step inside through the brand-new front door and be greeted by a bright and airy entryway. The entire home has been freshly painted, and the original hardwood floors on the main and upper levels have been professionally refinished to bring out their natural warmth. The main level has been thoughtfully opened up to create a modern, flowing layout—ideal for entertaining or day-to-day living. A spacious living room anchors the front of the home, while the all-new eat-in kitchen steals the show with its white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, custom layout, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances—including a gas range. Just beyond the kitchen is a flexible bonus space that can be tailored to your lifestyle: think home office, cozy den, library, or even a stylish bar for entertaining. From here, step onto the large rear deck—perfect for outdoor dining and summer gatherings. Down the back steps, a generously sized, covered parking pad with room for two large vehicles awaits, secured with a privacy gate for peace of mind. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features a new ceiling fan and restored hardwood floors. A private adjoining sitting room offers endless potential—use it as a walk-in closet, nursery, Peloton room, or home office. The newly reconfigured full bathroom serves all three upper-level bedrooms and includes a custom tiled shower/tub combo, modern vanity, new flooring, and sleek fixtures. Two additional bedrooms have also been freshly painted, each with ceiling fans and ample closet space. The fully finished walk-out basement adds even more living space with luxury vinyl plank flooring, a large rec room, a brand-new full bathroom, and a new washer/dryer combo. Just outside the basement door, tucked under the deck, are two spacious storage rooms—perfect for seasonal décor, luggage, tools, and more. Located just blocks from Georgia Ave, you’ll find countless dining and shopping options nearby including popular local spots like Moreland’s Tavern, Taqueria Distrito Federal, Anxo Cidery, and Highlands Cafe. Enjoy easy access to public transportation with multiple Metrobus stops nearby and just under a mile to the Georgia Ave–Petworth Metro Station (Green/Yellow Line). You’re also close to neighborhood favorites like Fort Slocum Park, Rock Creek Park trails, and the Upshur Street corridor with its farmer's market, pool, and library.
