A Practical Petworth Residence with Assigned Parking and Full-Utility HOA

Unit 5 at 807 Varnum Street NW is a one-bedroom, one-bath residence situated in the established Petworth neighborhood of NW Washington. The 535-square-foot layout is efficiently organized, and assigned surface parking conveys with the sale — a tangible asset in a neighborhood where street parking is competitive.

The monthly HOA fee covers an unusually broad range of expenses: gas, water, sewer, trash, snow removal, insurance, and the parking fee itself. For buyers evaluating true monthly carrying costs, this structure meaningfully reduces variable utility exposure.

Petworth is a walkable, transit-connected neighborhood with a strong commercial corridor along Georgia Avenue NW. Local cafes, neighborhood groceries, and parks are within reach, and the Green and Yellow Lines at Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro provide direct access to downtown DC.
