A Historic Petworth Home with a Rare Two-Car Garage

The home at 1224 Hamilton Street NW is a 1920-built single-family residence in Petworth, one of NW DC’s most established and walkable neighborhoods. At 1,387 square feet across three bedrooms and two full baths, the floor plan is efficient without feeling constrained.

The two-car garage is among the most practical features a buyer can find in this part of the city, where off-street parking is consistently at a premium. For buyers who need reliable, covered parking for two vehicles, this home addresses that need directly.

Petworth’s grid of tree-lined streets places residents within easy reach of the Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines, neighborhood restaurants along Georgia Avenue, and local parks and recreation. The neighborhood’s bones — wide sidewalks, front porches, and a strong civic identity — have made it a durable part of the NW DC market.

Priced at $770,000, this home represents a considered entry into a neighborhood where historic single-family inventory is limited and buyer interest remains consistent.

The Property
The home at 1224 Hamilton Street NW was built in 1920 and offers three bedrooms and two full baths across 1,387 square feet. The single-family format provides a level of privacy and autonomy that attached housing cannot replicate, and there is no HOA to navigate.
Parking Advantage
A two-car garage is a genuinely rare feature in Petworth and across NW DC broadly. Most homes in this price range offer one off-street space at best. The garage alone meaningfully differentiates this home from comparable inventory in the neighborhood.
Petworth Context
Petworth is a walkable, transit-connected neighborhood with a distinct identity built over more than a century. Georgia Avenue serves as the commercial spine, with coffee shops, restaurants, and neighborhood services within walking distance. The Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro station provides direct access to downtown DC.
Market Position
At $770,000, this home enters the market as a well-priced single-family option in a neighborhood where such inventory is consistently absorbed. Buyers evaluating Petworth against comparable NW DC neighborhoods will find the combination of size, parking, and transit access difficult to replicate at this price point.

Why This Home Stands Out

  • Two-car garage in a neighborhood where parking is scarce

  • 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths across 1,387 sq ft
  • No HOA fees or condo restrictions
  • Walking distance to Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro
  • Established Petworth location in NW DC

About 1224 Hamilton St NW

The home at 1224 Hamilton Street NW is a detached single-family residence built in 1920, offering three bedrooms and two full baths within 1,387 square feet. The structure reflects the architectural character common to Petworth’s early twentieth-century housing stock, with the added benefit of a two-car garage — a feature that is genuinely uncommon for homes of this era and type in NW DC. There is no homeowners association, which means no monthly fees and no governing body imposing restrictions on use or renovation.

Petworth occupies a well-defined section of NW DC, bounded by a grid of residential streets that have retained their neighborhood scale for over a century. Georgia Avenue runs through the heart of the area, providing access to local restaurants, coffee shops, and everyday retail. The Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro station connects residents to the Green and Yellow lines, making downtown DC and points south readily accessible without a car. Parks, recreation centers, and community institutions are woven into the neighborhood’s fabric.

Daily life in Petworth is oriented around walkability and neighborhood commerce. Residents move between the Metro, local dining along Georgia Avenue, and the residential streets with ease. The two-car garage at this home adds a layer of convenience that extends beyond commuting — it accommodates weekend errands, road trips, and the practical realities of city living that require reliable vehicle storage. The combination of transit access and private parking is a balance that few NW DC homes at this price point can offer.

A Wardman team member and the Wardman Residential team at Compass have worked extensively with buyers and sellers in Petworth and across the broader NW DC single-family market.
