Description

Nestled on one of Petworth’s charming tree-lined streets, this rare Tudor-style brick row home offers a distinctive architectural presence. Wider than the classic Wardman footprint, the home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates across every level. Notable recent updates include new TPO roof June 2026 and new AC systems 2024 (incl. both condenser units on the roof!).

A flagstone front porch and staircase welcome you inside through the arched front door, where solid oak floors, high ceilings with recessed lighting, and curated finishes create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. The main level is anchored by a brick, wood-burning fireplace and large picture window that fills the living space with natural light, while the updated kitchen seamlessly balances style and functionality for everyday living and entertaining alike. Tucked discreetly away, the powder room offers added privacy for guests, while a unique, secondary staircase off the kitchen provides convenient access to the upper level.

Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a private en-suite bathroom, while the hall bathroom offers a soaking tub - perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. Wood-frame, metal-clad windows enhance both efficiency and architectural integrity throughout the home. All bedrooms have ample closet space in addition to the linen and laundry closets in the hallway.

Outdoor living is equally impressive, with both an oversized Trex deck off the kitchen and sizable front porch creating multiple spaces to relax or entertain outdoors. Mature, well-maintained landscaping enhances the home’s inviting setting, while a coveted off-street parking space adds everyday convenience.

The fully separate Accessory Apartment provides exceptional flexibility and income potential for owner-occupants. It showcases an exposed brick wall, LVP flooring, updated kitchen with white cabinetry and quartz counters, and its own wood-burning fireplace. Currently rented for $1,450/month, the wonderful long-term tenant would be happy to remain, offering an ideal opportunity for supplemental income from day one.

A rare combination of architectural charm, generous proportions, modern updates, and investment value — all in the heart of Petworth.
