About 1 Bed 2.5 Baths Townhouse
Hello! We are a group house of four (4) females living in a beautiful, traditional DC row home situated in the cozy neighborhood of Petworth (NW, DC) looking for another fabulous female to join us for a year lease beginning July 1, 2023!
Here are the detz:
THE HOUSE:
This is a 5 bed, 2.5 bath beautiful row house property with gorgeous wood floors, antique features, and a spacious, modern kitchen. The home has plenty of relaxing outdoor space with both front and back porches and two gardens—great outdoor space for grilling and entertaining! The house is equipped with A/C, in-unit laundry, a high-speed google nest wifi system (perfect for working at home!), and two off-street parking spaces. There is plenty of indoor storage and secure outdoor storage for bikes. The common spaces of the house are fully furnished, including a completely stocked kitchen (although additional pieces are welcome!).
THE ROOM FOR RENT:
The bedroom for rent is situated in the renovated basement space of the house. It is the largest room in the house and the only room on that floor (allowing for more privacy). The room has a spacious closet area with two entrances and along-the-wall shelving as well as plenty of counter space. In addition to having room to accommodate all the typical bedroom furniture (large bed, dresser, couch, etc.) there is more than enough space to host a desk, etc. to a create a "work-from-home" situation. For a basement unit, there is a good deal of natural light streaming through the room thanks to two windows. This room is ideal for a tenant who enjoys all the benefits that group community has to offer yet enjoys the luxury of quiet time. Also ideal for pets!
• Size: 15 x 16
• Monthly Rent Price: $1,100
THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
The home is nestled in the lovely Petworth community, NW DC. The Petworth neighborhood is friendly and quiet, hosting a mix of true Washingtonians, young families, as well as group houses like ours. The home is located within a 5-minute walk to two beautiful DC parks—Sherman Circle and Grant Circle, NW. It is located within walking distance to 2 grocery stores (Safeway and Yes! Organic), the Petworth library and swimming pool, as well as super close to Upshur Street which has fantastic restaurants (Timber Pizza, Cinder BBQ, Taqueria Del Barrio) and other fun shops (Willow, Loyalty Books).
PARKING & TRANSPORTATION:
There are two off-street parking spaces in the alleyway behind the house which we have tended to use interchangeably as needed. For all others, there is plenty of free street parking (it is rare to not find a spot right in front of the house!), and our street itself is not zoned. There is easy access to the 62, 63, 70, and 79 bus lines (less than 2-minute walk) as well as the Georgia Ave / Petworth metro station (Green / Yellow lines).
THE HOUSE VIBE:
The four of us are chill, low-key, no-drama ladies in our 20's and 30's. Our group house has historically kept a culture of independence as well as anecdotal community. While each lady has had a busy life consisting of navigating her own schedule, food, lifestyle, etc., we do enjoy organic "how you doin''?" chats after work, an occasional movie night, and catching up on life while happening to cook at the same time in the kitchen. We want everyone to feel equally comfortable and welcome in their own home. While guests are certainly welcome, we ask that housemates respect the privacy of other housemates in doing so (I'm happy to chat further about how this works for us!). We prioritize cleanliness (especially dishes:)), kindness, and consideration.
ADDITIONAL DETZ:
• Utilities are between $100-$130 per tenant per month. We split all bills evenly and share certain daily supplies (i.e., toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, etc.). This utility amount also covers a monthly cleaning service which does the WHOLE house (including bedrooms upon request).
• A security deposit of $1,100 will be required (to be returned at the end of the lease).
• Pets are welcome with an additional deposit!
• The lease will begin July 1st, 2023. This will be for one year (ending June 30, 2024).
That’s it! I am excited to meet you! If interested to live in this incredible home, please do not hesitate to contact me here on Facebook and 1) provide brief details about yourself as well as 2) what you are looking for in a housing situation! Please DO NOT reply with "is this still available"? Due to high volume, those messages will not be responded to. It would be great to learn more about you and what you’re looking for in a home / housemate! I am happy to share additional pictures and videos of the house upon request.
Talk with you soon!
