Executive Summary
1704 4th St NW is a three-bedroom, three-bath row house in LeDroit Park, one of NW DC’s most architecturally significant historic neighborhoods. Built in 1900, the home spans 2,181 square feet across a classic row house footprint with a street-facing facade that reflects the neighborhood’s late-Victorian character. Proximity to Crispus Attucks Park, the Shaw-Howard University Metro station, and the dining and retail corridors along Florida Avenue and U Street positions this home at the intersection of historic fabric and contemporary urban convenience.
A LeDroit Park Row House With Over a Century of Character
The home at 1704 4th St NW stands as a representative example of LeDroit Park’s late-nineteenth-century residential architecture. Built in 1900, it offers 2,181 square feet across three bedrooms and three full baths within one of NW DC’s most historically layered neighborhoods.
LeDroit Park was developed in the 1870s as a planned residential enclave and later became a center of African American intellectual and civic life in Washington. The neighborhood’s historic designation preserves its architectural continuity, and 1704 4th St NW contributes to that streetscape with its original row house massing and facade presence.
The home’s scale — over 2,100 square feet with three full baths — is notable for the property type and price point. The lot configuration allows for rear outdoor space, and Crispus Attucks Park provides additional green space within close reach.
Shaw-Howard University Metro (Green and Yellow Lines) is accessible from the neighborhood, connecting residents to downtown DC, the broader transit network, and Reagan National Airport without a transfer.
