Welcome to 718 Varnum St, NW, situated on a quiet street in the heart of Petworth. This is a gem of a house and a wonderful opportunity for a homeowner looking to invest with sweat equity or a savvy investor looking for an exciting renovation opportunity. Either way, this is a very large 3-Level interior rowhouse with rear parking. A bump out already exists, but a developer may decide to extend the rear to add additional square footage. The great thing is that there are already two condo conversions on the same block so the opportunities are endless. Trust me, there is a lot of potential in this home.
