A Petworth Home With Rare Garage Parking and Four Full Baths

The home at 1383 Somerset Pl NW sits on a residential street in Petworth, NW, a neighborhood defined by its early-twentieth-century housing stock and walkable grid. Built in 1933, the structure carries the architectural character typical of the era — a period that produced much of Petworth’s most enduring residential fabric.

With four bedrooms and four full baths plus a half bath across 2,125 square feet, the layout accommodates a range of living configurations without compromise. The scale is generous for the neighborhood, and the floor plan reflects the proportions of a home designed for full-time residential use.

The private one-car garage is among the most practically significant features of this property. Off-street parking of this kind is uncommon in Petworth NW, and the brick driveway extends that advantage further, offering additional parking capacity on a street where curb space is competitive.

Somerset Pl NW places residents within reach of Petworth’s commercial corridors and transit infrastructure, with the neighborhood’s established street network connecting to the broader NW grid. The home is priced at $950,000.

Four Bedrooms Four Baths

Rare Garage Parking
The private one-car garage is a structural asset that sets this home apart in Petworth NW, where dedicated off-street parking is genuinely rare.

About 1383 Somerset Pl NW

The home at 1383 Somerset Pl NW was built in 1933 and presents the architectural character consistent with Petworth’s early residential construction. At 2,125 square feet, it offers four bedrooms and four full baths alongside a half bath — a configuration that provides meaningful depth across a single-family layout. The structure sits on a residential street that reflects the neighborhood’s established, low-density character.

Petworth is one of NW Washington’s most intact early-twentieth-century neighborhoods, defined by its grid of residential streets, proximity to Rock Creek Park’s eastern edge, and a commercial spine along Georgia Ave NW. The neighborhood has sustained a strong owner-occupant base and a walkable daily-life infrastructure that includes grocery options, local dining, and transit access. Somerset Pl NW sits within this fabric, on a block that reads as quintessentially Petworth.

The practical advantages of this home extend beyond its interior square footage. The private garage — uncommon in Petworth NW — and the brick driveway together provide a parking situation that most comparable homes in the neighborhood cannot offer. The Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro station is accessible from the neighborhood, and the surrounding blocks support daily errands, dining, and recreation without requiring a car for every trip.
