About this home
Calling All Visionaries and Renovation Enthusiasts!
This is your chance to own a piece of Petworth with serious potential. This classic home is in need of updates and TLC, but with the right touch, it can be transformed into something truly special. Perfect for buyers who aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves and bring their dream home to life.
Step up to the charming covered front porch and into a spacious layout that’s full of possibilities. The main level features hardwood floors hidden beneath the carpet in the living and dining rooms, just waiting to shine again. The kitchen has excellent potential—knock down a wall to create an open-concept flow into the dining area. Plus, there's a rear extension that could become a sun-drenched breakfast nook, added kitchen space, or mudroom—with direct access to the backyard.
Upstairs you’ll find two bedrooms and a bonus space off the back bedroom—ideal for a sitting room, massive walk-in closet, home office, or expanded primary suite, or 3rd bedroom. The basement is unfinished and ready for your custom design, offering even more square footage to work with and access to the deep backyard.
Out back, you’ll find a long and spacious yard perfect for future gatherings, gardens, or an urban oasis.
Located in the sought-after Petworth neighborhood, you’ll enjoy a strong sense of community, tree-lined streets, and easy access to shops, parks, and transit.
This is more than a home—it’s a canvas. Come unlock its full potential.
