Columbia Heights NW — Penthouse Residence

Top-Floor Living on Harvard Street NW

The residence at 1012 Harvard St NW #9 occupies the penthouse level of a boutique building completed in 2016, situated on a residential stretch of Harvard Street in Columbia Heights. Two bedrooms and two full baths are arranged across 1,100 square feet, with a layout that reflects the considered design standards of its construction vintage.

Gas, sewer, and water are covered by the HOA — a practical advantage that simplifies monthly budgeting and reduces the variable cost of ownership. A dedicated paved parking space conveys with the sale, a notable inclusion in a neighborhood where street parking is competitive.

Columbia Heights places this residence within reach of the Green Line Metro, a dense corridor of dining and retail along 14th Street NW, and the broader amenities of one of DC’s most active residential neighborhoods. The Harvard Street location offers a quieter residential setting while maintaining proximity to the neighborhood’s commercial core.

For buyers seeking a top-floor position, included parking, and utility coverage in a well-located NW DC neighborhood, this residence presents a coherent and well-supported case.

The Residence
The penthouse unit at 1012 Harvard St NW delivers 1,100 square feet across two bedrooms and two full baths in a boutique building completed in 2016. The top-floor position distinguishes it from comparable units in the building and on the broader Columbia Heights resale market.
HOA Coverage
Monthly HOA fees cover gas, sewer, and water — three of the most variable utility costs in DC condo ownership. This coverage meaningfully reduces the unpredictability of monthly carrying costs and is worth factoring carefully into any side-by-side comparison with similar listings.
Neighborhood Context
Columbia Heights is one of NW DC’s most connected residential neighborhoods, with the Green Line Metro providing direct access to downtown and beyond. The 14th Street NW corridor brings a wide range of dining, grocery, and retail options within walking distance of Harvard Street.
The Opportunity
The combination of penthouse positioning, dedicated parking, utility-inclusive HOA, and a 2016 construction date makes this a well-differentiated offering at the $740,000 price point. Buyers comparing options in Columbia Heights and adjacent NW neighborhoods will find this residence worth a close look.

Property Location

About 1012 Harvard St NW #9

The penthouse residence at 1012 Harvard St NW #9 sits atop a boutique building constructed in 2016, offering the structural and mechanical advantages of relatively recent construction. The unit spans 1,100 square feet with two bedrooms and two full baths, providing a layout that accommodates a range of living configurations. The 2016 build date means buyers benefit from modern building systems and contemporary finishes typical of that construction cycle.

Columbia Heights is one of the most established and well-connected residential neighborhoods in NW DC, anchored by the 14th Street NW corridor and served directly by the Green Line Metro. Harvard Street NW sits within the neighborhood’s residential interior, offering a calmer streetscape while remaining close to the commercial activity that defines the area. The neighborhood draws a wide range of residents and supports a dense mix of dining, grocery, fitness, and retail options within walkable distance.

Day-to-day life from Harvard Street NW is oriented around the walkable amenities of 14th Street and the broader Columbia Heights grid. The Green Line Metro at Columbia Heights station connects this address to downtown DC, U Street, and points south and north with ease. Dedicated parking removes one of the more persistent logistical challenges of urban DC living, and HOA-covered gas, sewer, and water reduce the friction of monthly utility management.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

The HOA at 1012 Harvard St NW covers gas, sewer, and water. These are among the most variable utility costs in DC condo ownership, and having them bundled into the monthly fee simplifies budgeting. Buyers should request the current HOA documents to confirm the full scope of coverage and any reserve fund details.
Yes, a dedicated paved parking space conveys with the sale. In Columbia Heights, where street parking is competitive, a deeded parking space represents a meaningful and tangible ownership advantage. Buyers should confirm the parking designation in the condo documents prior to closing.
The building at 1012 Harvard St NW was constructed in 2016 and is described as a boutique building, indicating a smaller unit count than a large condominium complex. The 2016 construction date suggests modern building systems and finishes. Prospective buyers should review the condo association documents for the exact unit count and building management structure.
The Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green Line is the nearest station to this address. The Green Line provides direct access to downtown DC, U Street, and connections across the broader Metro system. The station is accessible by foot from Harvard Street NW.
At the listed price of $740,000 and 1,100 square feet of interior space, the residence is priced at approximately $673 per square foot. This figure should be evaluated in the context of recent comparable sales in Columbia Heights, particularly for penthouse-level units with parking and utility-inclusive HOA structures.
Unit #9 occupies the top floor of the building, which is the defining characteristic of a penthouse designation in a boutique low-rise structure. Top-floor positioning typically means no upstairs neighbors, reduced overhead noise, and in some cases elevated ceiling heights or enhanced light exposure. Buyers should confirm the specific floor count and unit positioning during their walkthrough.
At $740,000, this residence offers a combination of penthouse positioning, dedicated parking, and utility-inclusive HOA that is not universally available in Columbia Heights condo inventory at this price. Buyers comparing options should weigh the total cost of ownership — including parking and utility costs — across competing listings rather than list price alone.
The Wardman Residential team at Compass has worked extensively in the Columbia Heights condo market and can provide recent comparable sales, an analysis of HOA structures in the neighborhood, and context on penthouse-level inventory.
