Property Description
Set on a prominent corner lot in the heart of Petworth, 517 Taylor St NW blends historic character with expansive living across this rarely available semi-detached residence. Originally built in 1914, the home showcases timeless architectural details including exposed brick, oversized windows, soaring ceilings, rich hardwood flooring, and generously scaled rooms filled with natural light throughout the day.
The main level offers a seamless flow between formal and casual living spaces, featuring a spacious living room, separate dining area, and an updated eat-in kitchen with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, open shelving, and ample prep space. Thoughtful design moments throughout the home create warmth and texture, balancing modern updates with the property's original charm, while the double-width corner footprint allows for windows on multiple exposures and an airy feel rarely found in surrounding rowhomes.
Upstairs, the home features three bedrooms and two full baths, including a bright primary suite with large corner windows and an en suite bath. An additional sunroom off the upper level provides flexible space for a home office, reading room, nursery, or studio.
The lower level adds substantial additional living space and flexibility, complete with exposed brick walls, a large recreation area, separate bedroom, full bath, and a kitchenette with sink, cabinetry, and refrigerator. With its rear access and functional layout, the lower level offers excellent versatility for guests, extended stays, work-from-home needs, or additional private living space.
Located moments from neighborhood favorites including Timber Pizza Co., Honeymoon Chicken, Midlands Beer Garden, Moreland's Tavern, Upshur Street dining, Rock Creek Park, and the Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro, this residence offers a rare blend of historic architecture, scale, and everyday city convenience.
