A Capitol Hill Row House With Historic Depth

The home at 1236 D St SE occupies a well-regarded block in Capitol Hill SE, one of Washington’s most enduring residential neighborhoods. Built in 1907, the structure reflects the row house typology that defines this quadrant — a continuous streetscape of brick facades, stooped entries, and interior layouts scaled for real daily life.

At 1,592 square feet, the floor plan provides two bedrooms and one and a half baths across a format that Capitol Hill buyers recognize immediately. The proportions are generous for the neighborhood, and the 1907 construction date places this home among the earlier examples of the Hill’s residential stock.

D Street SE runs through a section of Capitol Hill that sits within easy reach of Eastern Market, Lincoln Park, and the broader network of neighborhood amenities that make this corridor consistently active in the resale market. The address is walkable to multiple transit options and the everyday retail that anchors the neighborhood.

The Wardman Residential team at Compass has represented buyers and sellers throughout Capitol Hill SE, and we bring direct knowledge of this block, this price point, and the comparable sales that inform every advisory conversation here.

Historic Row House Form
The home was constructed in 1907, placing it among Capitol Hill’s earlier residential builds. The row house form is characteristic of SE — brick construction, a defined street presence, and an interior layout that has proven adaptable across more than a century of use. These structural qualities are difficult to replicate in newer construction.
Generous Interior Scale
At 1,592 square feet, the interior offers room to work with. Two bedrooms and one and a half baths configure across a floor plan that reflects the proportions Capitol Hill buyers typically prioritize. The scale is meaningful for the neighborhood and the price point.
Capitol Hill SE Address
D Street SE sits within the Capitol Hill neighborhood proper, close to Eastern Market and the Lincoln Park corridor. The block benefits from the walkability and transit access that define this part of the city, with the Capitol Hill Metro stations serving the immediate area.
Established Resale Corridor
Capitol Hill SE has maintained one of the more active resale markets in the District, driven by consistent demand for historic row houses in this price range. The combination of architectural character, neighborhood infrastructure, and transit access keeps this corridor competitive across market cycles.
