The residence at 3540 Rock Creek Church Rd NW #104 sits within a professionally managed building in Petworth, one of NW DC’s most established residential neighborhoods. Built in 1946, the building carries the architectural character of its era while benefiting from active management and HOA services that cover the core costs of daily living.
