...Set along a charming, tree-lined block in the heart of Petworth, 717 Hamilton Street NW is a beautifully reimagined rowhome that blends classic character with modern design. Gut-renovated by Urban Restoration in 2017, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence offers thoughtfully curated living across three finished levels.

A welcoming front porch sets the tone, opening to a gracious foyer adorned with detailed millwork and a striking staircase. The sun-drenched main level unfolds into an open-concept living and dining space, where coffered ceilings and rich hardwood floors create both warmth and architectural interest. At the heart of the home, a gourmet eat-in kitchen features marble countertops, a breakfast bar, and high-end stainless steel appliances (including a Bertazzoni oven and Bosch dishwasher), with seamless access to the rear deck—perfect for effortless indoor-outdoor living.

Upstairs, three well-appointed bedrooms and two full baths include a serene primary suite designed for comfort and retreat. The fully finished lower level offers exceptional flexibility, complete with a spacious recreation room, wet bar, additional bedroom with natural light, and full bath, along with a private rear entrance—ideal for guests, an au pair, or potential rental use.

Out back, a deck, private yard, and secure parking for two cars complete the home. Ideally located, this residence enjoys close proximity to Petworth’s vibrant dining scene, neighborhood parks, and convenient access to Metro, making it as livable as it is stylish.

Just at the end of the block, the newly renovated Truesdell Elementary School offers a fantastic playground for neighborhood use when school is not in session. Enjoy nearby green space at Lorenzo Allen Park, or take a stroll to Sherman Circle. Neighborhood favorites including Moreland's Tavern, La Coop Coffee, and Everyday Sundae are all within easy walking distance, adding to the home’s unbeatable sense of place.
