About this home
Townhouse · Built 1928 · Historic
Welcome to 417 Emerson Street NW, a character-filled and thoughtfully renovated row home on one of Petworth’s most beloved blocks. This isn’t just a house—it’s part of a true community, where front-porch conversations and neighborly connection define daily life. Set on an extra-deep lot—nearly twice the length of most in the area— this property offers exceptional outdoor space, including new sod, refreshed landscaping, a recently stained fence (2025), a generous patio, 2022 storage shed, and off-street parking via a new back gate (2023). The front walkway and flat roof with tuned-up slate mansard (2025) add peace of mind and curb appeal. Inside, warm hardwood floors lead to a spacious, open-concept main level with dedicated living and dining areas that flow seamlessly into a renovated kitchen (2017, new flooring 2025) featuring custom cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, and a picture window overlooking the backyard. The main floor also includes a half bath and a designated work space - great for kids or working from home. There is plenty of storage including a thoughtfully designed coat closet and a walk-through storage closet. Upstairs, the primary suite shines with an updated en-suite bath (2016), while two additional bedrooms, each with flex or play space, share a renovated hall bath. The finished lower level offers a family room, built-in bar, half bath, and laundry, ideal for a gym, media room, additional office, or guests. Major upgrades include a fully owned 15-panel, 5.475 kW Solar Energy Services system (2020) generating RECs worth $400 each, new kitchen floor/subfloor (2025), HardiePlank siding, electric panel, windows, bathrooms, and mini-split systems (2019) in all upper bedrooms. Located just off Sherman Circle, near Timber Pizza, Cinder BBQ, Upshur Street dining, and Georgia Ave–Petworth Metro, this home perfectly blends charm, function, and community. All square footage is approximate.
