Scaled Living in a 1908 16th Street NW Building

The residence at 3317 16th Street NW occupies the ground floor of a 1908 masonry building in Columbia Heights, one of NW Washington’s most active and well-connected neighborhoods. At 1,229 square feet, the two-bedroom, two-bath layout offers room to live and work without compromise.

The building’s masonry construction — now well over a century old — provides a structural solidity and architectural presence that distinguishes it from the area’s newer condominium stock. Original-era buildings on 16th Street NW carry a character that is difficult to replicate and increasingly rare at this price point.

The HOA covers exterior building maintenance, reserve funds, and water, providing a predictable cost structure for ownership. Parking is available for a fee, which on a corridor as active as 16th Street NW represents a genuine convenience worth noting.

Columbia Heights places residents within easy reach of the Metro, neighborhood dining, retail, and green space. The location balances urban connectivity with the residential scale that defines this part of NW Washington.

The Residence
The two-bedroom, two-bath layout spans 1,229 square feet — a generous footprint for a Columbia Heights condominium. The unit’s scale allows for distinct living and sleeping zones without the compression common in smaller DC condos. Two full baths add meaningful day-to-day functionality.
Building Character
The 1908 masonry building brings structural depth and architectural detail that newer construction rarely matches. Buildings of this era on 16th Street NW are part of a cohesive corridor of early-twentieth-century residential architecture. That context adds long-term character to the ownership experience.
HOA and Ownership Costs
The HOA covers exterior building maintenance, reserve funds, and water — three categories that represent meaningful value in a century-old building. Parking is available for a fee, which on a high-traffic corridor like 16th Street NW is a practical advantage worth factoring into the overall cost picture.
The Neighborhood
Columbia Heights is one of the most transit-connected neighborhoods in NW Washington, with the Green and Yellow Line Metro station close at hand. Local dining, grocery, and retail options are well established along 14th Street NW and Columbia Road. The neighborhood’s density and walkability make car-optional living genuinely viable.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

Key details about the residence, building, and location to help you evaluate this opportunity.

The HOA covers exterior building maintenance, reserve funds, and water. These three categories represent meaningful ongoing costs in a century-old masonry building, and having them bundled into the HOA provides a more predictable monthly ownership picture. Buyers should request the full HOA documents to review current fee amounts and reserve fund status.
Parking is not included in the purchase price but is available for a fee. On a high-traffic corridor like 16th Street NW, where street parking is competitive, having access to a dedicated parking option is a practical advantage. Buyers should confirm current parking fee amounts and availability directly.
The building was constructed in 1908 and is a masonry structure, placing it among the early-twentieth-century residential buildings that define much of 16th Street NW’s architectural character. Masonry construction of this era typically offers solid sound attenuation and durable exterior materials. Buyers should conduct standard due diligence including a professional inspection.
The Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow Lines is close at hand, providing direct service to downtown DC, U Street, and connections throughout the system. The 16th Street NW Metrobus corridor is one of the most frequently served bus routes in the city. The location supports car-optional commuting for most downtown destinations.
Columbia Heights has an active condominium resale market, with inventory ranging from smaller studios in newer buildings to larger units in pre-war masonry structures like this one. Two-bedroom, two-bath condominiums at or above 1,200 square feet represent a relatively limited segment of the neighborhood’s supply. A Wardman team member can provide current comparables on request.
Columbia Heights is served by DC Public Schools and several public charter schools operating in the neighborhood. Buyers with school-age children should consult the DC Public Schools boundary tool and individual school websites for current enrollment and boundary information, as assignments can change. No specific school proximity data was provided for this listing.
The combination of 1,229 square feet, two full baths, and 1908 masonry construction in Columbia Heights is relatively uncommon at this price point in NW Washington. The HOA structure covers meaningful ongoing costs, and parking availability adds practical value.
