From the gracious front porch to the expansive backyard with flagstone patio and parking for two vehicles, every space has been designed for comfort, entertaining, and connection to community. Inside, the main level is warm and welcoming, with refinished hardwood floors, restored original millwork, and abundant natural light.

Step outside to your own city oasis: a fenced backyard with garden planters, string lights, room to gather around a firepit, and parking for two. Just steps from Sherman Circle, where neighbors host outdoor movie nights and a beloved New Year’s Eve ball drop. The block is known for its warm, tight-knit community - the kind of neighborhood where you lend each other tools and let each other’s dogs out. Enjoy easy access to the best of Petworth: Timber Pizza, Lulabelle’s, Loyalty Books, and Little Food Studio are all close by.
