A Columbia Heights Row House Rooted in DC History

The home at 1005 Kenyon Street NW was built in 1910, placing it among the earliest residential construction in Columbia Heights — a neighborhood that developed rapidly in the years following the extension of the streetcar lines northward through NW DC. The row house form is native to this part of the city, and Kenyon Street reflects that tradition with a consistent streetscape of early-twentieth-century attached homes.

Columbia Heights is one of the most transit-accessible neighborhoods in the District, anchored by the Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines. The surrounding blocks offer a concentrated mix of dining, retail, and everyday services that few DC neighborhoods can match at this density. The 14th Street corridor and Park Road commercial strip are both within easy reach.

Three bedrooms and two full baths provide a practical and flexible layout for a range of uses. The 1910 construction date suggests original architectural details that are characteristic of DC row houses from this era — features that are increasingly difficult to find in move-in condition at this price point. The home was represented on the buyer side by a Wardman team member at $525,000.

1910 Construction
The home dates to 1910, a period of rapid residential expansion in NW DC. Row houses from this era are defined by their brick construction, front stoops, and interior layouts that have proven remarkably adaptable over more than a century of use. This vintage is a defining characteristic of the Columbia Heights streetscape.
Columbia Heights NW
Columbia Heights occupies a central position in NW DC, bounded by 16th Street to the east and Georgia Avenue to the west, with strong pedestrian connections in every direction. The neighborhood’s commercial corridors support daily errands, dining, and entertainment without requiring a car. Green and Yellow line Metro access is a practical advantage for commuters across the region.
Row House Form
The row house form is the dominant residential typology in this part of DC, and 1005 Kenyon fits naturally within that context. Three bedrooms across a classic attached configuration offer meaningful square footage and the potential for flexible use of interior space. Two full baths serve the layout without compromise.
Transit-Rich Location
The Columbia Heights Metro station places this home within the broader DC transit network, connecting riders to downtown, the National Mall, and points throughout the region. The 14th Street corridor, one of DC’s most active commercial strips, is a short walk away. Proximity to Rock Creek Park adds a natural counterpoint to the neighborhood’s urban density.
