Executive Summary
5109 2nd St NW #3 is a two-bedroom, two-bath condominium residence in the Petworth neighborhood of NW Washington, DC. Built in 1937, the building carries the architectural character of its era while the residence itself offers a practical two-bath configuration uncommon at this price point.

Two Bedrooms, Two Baths in the Heart of Petworth
The residence at 5109 2nd St NW #3 occupies a 1937 building on a residential street in Petworth, one of NW Washington’s most established and walkable neighborhoods. At 770 square feet, the floor plan delivers two full bedrooms and two full baths — a configuration that provides flexibility and privacy within a compact footprint.
The HOA structure here is notably comprehensive. Water, insurance, common area maintenance, trash removal, and reserve fund contributions are all included in the monthly fee, reducing the unpredictability that often accompanies DC condo ownership. For buyers evaluating total cost of ownership, this coverage matters.
Petworth’s position along the Georgia Avenue corridor connects residents to a dense network of local dining, retail, and transit. The neighborhood’s grid of tree-lined streets and pre-war housing stock gives it a consistency of character that newer developments rarely replicate.
