Executive Summary
Built in 1920 and situated on Hamilton Street NW, this three-bedroom, two-bath home offers 1,387 square feet of living space in the Petworth neighborhood of Washington, DC. The home pairs historic character with the practical advantage of a two-car garage — a rare asset in this part of the city. Petworth’s walkable streets, neighborhood dining, and proximity to the Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro station make this address a compelling choice for buyers seeking established NW DC.
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.

- 1920 construction with single-family privacy
- 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths across 1,387 sq ft

Property Location
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.
