SUMMARY A fully renovated, fully furnished English basement in one of DC's most walkable neighborhoods — private, self-contained, and move-in ready.

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 - 5-star track record: "This beautiful rental comes with a kind and responsive homeowner... comfortable, safe, and well taken care of." — Kimberly, guest review DETAILS - $2,400/month, all utilities and high-speed wifi included; rates are negotiable - Minimum stay 3 months, preference for 6-12 months - 950 sq ft: queen bedroom with blackout shades, large closet, and dresser; separate office; full kitchen with dishwasher and disposal; living room with 50" TV; full bath; full washer/dryer - Kitchen table expands with two leaves and extra chairs for guests; queen air mattress available for occasional visitors - Bike storage in the secure back yard, street parking permit available, exterior security cameras and door/window sensors - Owners live upstairs, are easy to reach, and take pride in the home — happy to do a video or in-person tour ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD Petworth is one of DC's most livable, least touristy corners — you're a 5-minute walk from the Georgia Ave Metro (Green/Yellow Line), a block from Upshur Street's restaurants, coffee shops, comedy room, and bookstore, and steps from Safeway, Yes Organic Market, and a seasonal farmers market. A short walk from the free local pool and across the street from Petworth Park with local concerts and neighborhood events. Rock Creek Park is a 15-minute walk or 5-minute bike ride away, and the National Mall is 4-miles away.
