Description
Introducing a quintessential Washington, DC rowhome at 4811 Illinois Ave NW, a meticulously updated residence offering the perfect blend of classic charm and modern convenience. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home stands with a commanding street presence, featuring a classic front porch and elevated stone steps. Inside, a thoughtful renovation highlights high ceilings, rich hardwood flooring, and expansive open living spaces. The formal entry and sun-drenched living room create an inviting atmosphere, perfect for both intimate evenings and larger gatherings, all connected via an elegant stair hall with modern railings.
The home’s chef-inspired kitchen is a true showstopper, centered around an expansive island with quartz counters and sleek waterfall edging. Featuring custom walnut cabinetry, a contemporary marble backsplash, a professional stainless steel appliance suite, and elegant pendant lighting, this space flows seamlessly into a bright dining area and versatile living nook. Custom open shelving, a minimalist powder room, and recessed lighting throughout showcase the home’s high-end, designer finishes. Upgrades continue behind the scenes with an updated HVAC system and an energy-efficient tankless hot water heater for complete peace of mind.
The living space extends seamlessly into the fully finished, walk-out basement, which provides a versatile recreation room, a home office area, a second full bath, and a large separate laundry and utility room. Step outside to your private urban retreat—a fully fenced, terraced backyard with a patio, built-in wooden benches, and mature landscaping, offering the perfect spot for entertaining, gardening, or relaxation. Located in the heart of Petworth, this home is just moments from local parks, popular dining, and easy transit, combining sophisticated city living with neighborhood tranquility.
