Large windows bring natural light across the living spaces. The front porch and back deck really set this home apart.   Greet neighbors from the front and retire to the back yard to peacefully overlook the polished stone and beautifully shaded decorative garden. Perfect for relaxing or hosting. Located in the lower part of Petworth on Sherman Circle and within walking distance to neighborhood parks, and a growing mix of local restaurants, cafés, and shops. Easy access to nearby green/yellow line Metro, major bus routes, and commuter corridors makes getting around the City simple.
