About This Home
Perched on the top floor of the Jefferson Condominium, this one-bedroom home comes with something rare in DC: your own private roof deck. Inside, hardwood floors run throughout an airy living room with double-height ceilings and oversized windows that keep the space bright from morning to evening. The open kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, cherry cabinets, and a versatile island that works for prep, dining, or work-from-home days. The bedroom is generously sized with a custom closet, and the renovated bath and in-unit washer/dryer keep daily routines easy. A spiral staircase leads straight to the private roof deck, giving you an outdoor room for container gardening, yoga, or quiet evenings above the treeline.
Step outside and you’re in Brightwood Park, where upper Petworth meets historic Brightwood along Georgia Avenue. This corner of Ward 4 has deep roots, from the Civil War defenses at nearby Fort Stevens to President Lincoln’s summer cottage just a short drive away, but today it reads as classic DC neighborhood: tree-lined blocks, longtime residents, and easy access to both Rock Creek Park and downtown.
Within a few blocks, the Kennedy Street corridor and Georgia Avenue offer a growing lineup of local spots—coffee at La Coop, seasonal wood-oven cooking at Poplar, pizza and cider at Brightwood Pizza & Bottle and ANXO, seafood at Shellfish Market, and Ethiopian and Italian-inspired comfort food at Abebech. On Saturdays from spring through late fall, Petworth Community Market sets up along 9th & Upshur with local farms, prepared foods, and live music. Summer evenings often mean free outdoor concerts with the Petworth Jazz Project at the recreation center lawn, and Room 808 on Upshur hosts stand-up shows several nights a week with comics from around the country.
Getting around is straightforward. Frequent bus lines along Georgia Avenue and Kennedy Street connect you quickly to downtown DC and Silver Spring, and both Georgia Ave–Petworth and Fort Totten Metro stations are roughly a mile and a half away, offering Green, Yellow, and Red Line service. Emery Heights Community Center and nearby Rock Creek Park’s trails, fields, and courts give you plenty of options for getting outside without leaving the neighborhood.
