5019 Illinois Ave
Welcome to 5019 Illinois Avenue NW, a fully renovated brick Colonial townhouse in the heart of Petworth. SELLER IS OFFERING TO HELP WITH YOUR FINANCING: ask about a seller-paid interest rate buydown to lower your monthly payment, or put the seller credit toward your closing costs instead. Updated top to bottom in 2026, this home has been completely reimagined with brand-new finishes, fixtures, and systems throughout. It is truly move-in ready. The home offers 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths across three finished levels. The bright, open main level is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with natural light throughout. Upstairs, the bedrooms are generously sized, and the baths are freshly finished with modern style. The fully finished lower level has its own rear entrance, giving you the flexibility to use it as a recreation room, home office, or guest suite. The classic brick exterior keeps the timeless character Petworth is known for. A private driveway provides off-street parking, with additional on-street parking available. Enjoy everything Petworth has to offer, from tree-lined streets and neighborhood cafes to local shops, parks, and a strong sense of community. Convenient public transit provides easy access to downtown and beyond. Contact the listing agent for details on the available seller incentives.
