Fully Renovated & Furnished English Basement in Walkable Petworth - 1 Bed + Office
SUMMARY
A fully renovated, fully furnished English basement in one of DC's most walkable neighborhoods private, self-contained, and move-in ready. One bedroom plus a dedicated office, thoughtfully furnished down to the linens and kitchen gadgets, in a home cared for by two science and tech policy professionals who live upstairs. Ideal for a visiting professional on a 6-12 month stay.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
- Move-in ready: fully furnished including all the cookware, small and large appliances and linens you would need so you can arrive with just a suitcase.
- Fantastic location: 5 minutes to the Green/Yellow Line, one block from Upshur Street's restaurants and coffee shops, two grocery stores within two blocks, seasonal farmer's market, and Rock Creek Park a short walk or bike ride away.
- Fully renovation in 2023 including raised ceilings, and has separate front and rear entrances, along with your own HVAC, so it feels private, contained, and unlike a typical basement unit
- A real office that is not an afterthought: a large desk with a 38" curved high-res monitor, shelving, and its own closet makes it easy to work from home
