A Scaled Columbia Heights Row House with Rare Two-Car Garage

The home at 1019 Otis Pl NW sits within one of NW Washington’s most established residential corridors, where early-twentieth-century row houses define the streetscape and walkability to the Metro remains a consistent draw for buyers. Built in 1909, the structure carries the proportions and architectural detail associated with that era of DC construction.

Five bedrooms and three full baths provide meaningful flexibility across the floor plan, while the half bath adds everyday convenience. The two-car garage is a genuine differentiator in Columbia Heights, where off-street parking at this scale is uncommon among row house inventory.

At $760,000, the home represents a direct entry into a neighborhood with deep transit connectivity and a dense retail and dining corridor along 14th Street NW. The Columbia Heights Metro station, served by the Green and Yellow Lines, is a short walk from Otis Pl.

Historic Row House Scale
The 1909 construction date places this home among the cohort of row houses that established the Columbia Heights streetscape. The five-bedroom layout offers room configurations that are difficult to find at this price point in NW DC, making the floor plan one of the home’s most compelling attributes.
Parking Advantage
Two garage spaces are a rare feature for a Columbia Heights row house. Most comparable homes in the neighborhood rely on street parking or single off-street spaces, making this a meaningful practical advantage for buyers who prioritize parking.
Neighborhood Position
Otis Pl NW sits within easy reach of the 14th Street corridor, where a dense concentration of restaurants, cafes, and neighborhood retail has taken hold over the past two decades. The Columbia Heights Metro station connects riders directly to downtown DC via the Green and Yellow Lines.
Pricing Context
Listed at $760,000, this home enters the market as a five-bedroom row house with garage parking in a transit-accessible NW neighborhood. Buyers evaluating comparable inventory in Columbia Heights and adjacent Park View will find this combination of bedroom count, parking, and location difficult to replicate at a similar price.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

The two-car garage is the most immediate differentiator. Most row houses in Columbia Heights offer street parking or a single off-street space at best. Combined with five bedrooms and three full baths, this home offers a combination of scale and parking that is genuinely uncommon at this price point in NW DC.
