Petworth was developed somewhat later than its neighbor, 16th Street Heights, which is evident from the distinct architectural identity of each of these locations. As a growing middle class needed housing, Petworth responded to that urban density which is evident from the number of elegant rowhouses found here as distinguished from larger, detached houses nearby. Still wanting space and comfort, these rowhouses had many of the same details that made both neighborhoods desirable. A completely fresh interpretation was undertaken, making this residence as fine as it was when originally constructed in 1925, now comprising 2,500 square feet. With the goal of making each floor as comfortable and bright as possible, the room arrangement, layout, and color palette were carefully considered in the design of this handsome renovation. The first floor offers a large, open kitchen, with an entrance from the garden as well as the front of the house, which allowed for the creation of a mudroom, without being closed off from the main living space. Care was taken in the plan as well as the execution of the interior, which is obvious from the principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms and bathroom, and laundry, all of which are found on the second floor. More ceiling height was created on the lower level to ensure that sufficient living space as well as egress were created. A family room with bar, two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and laundry are found on the lower level, providing an environment for many other uses. The outdoor space was created to provide enough room to entertain while minimizing maintenance. The property includes off-street parking for one car.
