    What's special

    Immediate livability
    Prime Petworth Address. Unbelievable Upside or Owner-Occupant Opportunity. Positioned directly on Sherman Circle, one of Petworth’s most recognizable and sought-after blocks, this classic DC rowhome presents a compelling opportunity for developers, investors, or visionary owner-occupants to create something truly special. For investors and developers, this is a chance to go big. Set on a 2,187 square foot lot and supported by R-3 zoning, the property allows for an oversized footprint of approximately 1,300 square feet. It's a rare combination that opens the door to a substantial, high-impact, single-family transformation while preserving the character of Sherman Circle. The scale is there. The location is proven. And the numbers back it up. Renovated homes on Sherman Circle have recently commanded $1.1M to $1.4M, making this a clear value-add opportunity with meaningful upside. For those looking to occupy and improve, the home is well-maintained, offering immediate livability with the ability to upgrade over time. Move in, get to know the block, and gradually shape the home into a fully personalized space that reflects your style and needs—all while benefiting from the long-term upside that Sherman Circle consistently delivers. Inside, the home provides a functional starting point for that vision. The upper level includes three bedrooms and one full bath, while the lower level features a rec room and an additional full bath. The main level offers a balanced layout that prioritizes both flow and defined space. The basement ceiling height is just under six feet—usable as-is, with clear potential for creative reimagining as part of a larger plan. This is a property that works from multiple angles, but the common thread is clear: location, scale, and opportunity. Opportunities like this on Sherman Circle are few and far between.
