Bright and sunny, newly renovated english basement open floor plan apartment available for rent October 15, 2026. All utilities included, even central air conditioning.
Brand new stainless stove and red refrigerator just purchased. They are not shown in the photos.
If you're a gardener or love sun, even better because you will have a whole backyard to play in. The backyard is a shared space with the upstairs tenants. Address is officially Columbia Heights, but neighborhood is Park View, which is a very short walk to the Petworth Metro Station.
Park View is located between Columbia Heights and Petworth. The apartment is on Otis Place and is very close to the wonderful restaurants on Georgia Ave.
It is an approx 7 minute walk to the Petworth Metro Station, 2 minute walk to multiple bus lines, 10 minute walk to restaurants on 11th street, and 20 minute walk to the Target etc. in Columbia Heights or 5 minutes by bike there. Easy bus ride or walk to the Washington Hospital Center and National Rehab Hospital or VA Hospital. Bike lanes on both nearby thoroughfares. Less than a mile to a Giant Supermarket, Yes Organic Market, and a fancy Safeway on Georgia Ave. The east end of the street is the Old Soldiers Home campus, a beautiful green backdrop for walks and runs around the park-like perimeter. There is lots of great yoga, dance and crossfit gyms nearby.
The apartment has a new forced air furnace and filter system and new central AC system. There are plenty of vents throughout the unit for your comfort. There are lots of windows and doors to let in sunlight and fresh air. There is one on the front window and each of the two doors.
The unit has two front doors and a back door. The front door leads to a wonderful mudroom/laundry area. The floor in this room is newly painted which is not pictured in the photo. You can use this room for your coat rack or shoes, umbrellas, etc. The house features a full sized washer and full sized dryer which is shared with upstairs tenants. The second door goes to your private apartment. And the back door leads to a good sized yard with pea gravel patio and furniture for your use. There is space for gardening in the back if you choose and tons of sunlight.
The kitchen features a beautiful high end silestone counter. Plenty of room to cook, do your work or even enjoy dinner with a friend with the two included bar stools. Plenty of storage space in beautiful solid maple cabinets. An electric stove/oven, microwave and refrigerator/freezer. All fumes/smoke from cooking are vented outside the unit.
The modern bathroom features a classic black and white tiled design with a very large glass shower with subway tile. Pedestal sink, fan vent to the outside, window, plenty of light and storage space.
The main room features plenty of space for your bed and sofa, and other furniture. There are two cable outlets and plenty of electrical plugs. There are lots of ceiling lights all on dimmers and a large closet with organization system inside. The beam running along the house is a tad lower than the ceiling, if you're tall you probably won't be comfy here. I'd estimate that someone over 5'9" may not be comfortable here. The space is ideal for a single person. Cats are ok, but no dogs. No smoking.
Easy on-street parking. It is DC Zone 1A parking. The neighborhood is a great mixture of longtime residents and new young families. It is a quiet yet very friendly street.
Rent includes all utilities (gas/water/electric). A security deposit of $1600 is required. A year lease and an online credit check with a small online fee, is required . Option to share internet fees with upstairs tenant is possible.
Owners are a married couple who live in Takoma Park, MD. We are super responsive to any and all of your needs which the outgoing tenant can confirm. Thank you for looking and we look forward to meeting you.
