500 Longfellow St NW

This semi-detached end-unit row home has been fully updated, offering a spacious open-concept floor plan flooded with light from three exposures. The position of the home on the large lot is ideal and features a landscaped front and rear yard and side entrance with bluestone pavers leading up to the front door. The main entrance is covered and has a charming stained glass transom above it. The main level has a perfect layout with separate defined areas that flow well throughout. A living room overflows into a newly carpeted sunroom. The large dining room will comfortably seat 10+ for dinner and is adjacent to the renovated kitchen. Cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances (gas cooking) and stone countertops fill out the kitchen and provide lots of storage. The large deck with wooden pergola extends off of the kitchen through a sliding glass door. A convenient half bath, laundry and coat closet round out the first floor. The stairway up has a painted brick wall and skylight bringing light in. A large primary suite with attached en-suite bath with double vanities and a glass shower is another highlight. A walk-in cedar closet has a window and is connected. The hall bedroom/den has a skylight and a closet. The third bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and fan with a big closet. An updated full bath with tub provides en-suite access to the third bedroom and the hallway. The basement apartment with a lockable door and connected stair, has a full kitchen, its own laundry, bathroom and a separate entrance from the rear. This is an ideal in-law suite because it functions well as a separate area, but with the connected stair. Outdoor space is a clear bonus for this property: with the backyard fully fenced-in for security, there is a shed for garden tools or for the hobbyist, a flat grass area, secure parking for one car, a large elevated wood deck, rain barrel, mature plantings and a separate side entrance for the lower level suite. The property is situated in the north of Petworth and south of Missouri Ave and the Brightwood Park neighborhood of Washington, DC. This area is known for its tree-lined streets and a mix of residential and commercial spaces, offering residents a vibrant urban lifestyle. Restaurants and retail activity are just a block away on Kennedy St, NW and with a convenient commute to DC or nearby Maryland.
