Listing details
Perfectly positioned in Old Town, 1128 Powhatan Street blends classic brick townhouse charm with thoughtful updates, rare flexibility, and inviting outdoor space. Beautifully maintained across three finished levels, the home offers a smart layout designed for everyday living, entertaining, and work-from-home ease. The main level features warm hardwood floors, recessed lighting, crown molding, and an open flow between the living and dining areas, both filled with natural light. The updated kitchen is both stylish and functional, with granite countertops, white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, an induction cooktop, wine fridge, under-cabinet lighting, and a glass-tile backsplash. Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms share an expanded and renovated full bath with heated floors and a designer lighted mirror. The lower level adds valuable versatility with space ideal for guests, a home office, fitness area, or additional living area. It also includes a kitchenette, renovated bath, stacked laundry, and a rare separate front entrance providing direct access to the basement. Notably, this is the only townhouse on the block with this separate front basement entrance, creating a level of flexibility that is difficult to replicate. Outdoor living is a standout. The fully fenced front yard is framed by a Japanese maple and azaleas, along with handsome iron fencing installed in 2019. Out back, a beautiful magnolia tree anchors the private backyard, complete with a large deck, retractable awning, slate patio, and spacious shed. Additional improvements include a new roof installed in September 2025. Ideally located near Metro, shops, restaurants, parks, and the everyday conveniences of Old Town, 1128 Powhatan Street offers a polished and practical alternative to condo living, with more privacy, more flexibility, and outdoor space of its own.
