A Historic Eckington Row House with Enduring Character

1346 Emerald St NE is a three-bedroom row house in Eckington, one of NE Washington’s most established and architecturally cohesive neighborhoods. Built in 1900, the home reflects the brick construction and proportioned facades that define the DC row house tradition at its most authentic.

Eckington sits at a compelling intersection of accessibility and neighborhood scale. The Metropolitan Branch Trail runs through the area, connecting residents on foot or by bike to Union Station, Brookland, and points north. Red Line Metro service is close at hand, and the Rhode Island Avenue and Florida Avenue corridors place everyday retail and dining within easy reach.

Offered at $685,000, this home represents a well-priced entry into a neighborhood where historic fabric and urban convenience converge. Three bedrooms and a practical one-and-a-half-bath layout make it a versatile acquisition for a range of buyers in the NE submarket.

The Property
Built in 1900, this three-bedroom row house on Emerald St NE carries the structural integrity and architectural presence that define DC’s historic NE housing stock. The one-and-a-half-bath configuration is well-suited to the home’s scale, and the row house form provides the vertical separation and street presence that distinguish this property type.
Neighborhood Context
Eckington is a compact, walkable neighborhood bordered by Bloomingdale to the west and Brookland to the north. The area’s tree-lined residential streets and consistent brick row house architecture give it a coherent neighborhood identity that has remained largely intact for over a century.
Transit and Access
The Metropolitan Branch Trail provides direct off-street connectivity to Union Station and the broader trail network. Red Line Metro access is nearby, and the intersection of Rhode Island Ave and Florida Ave NE anchors a growing commercial corridor with grocery, dining, and service retail options.
The Opportunity
At $685,000, this row house is competitively positioned within the Eckington and broader NE DC market. Historic row houses of this vintage and bedroom count represent a durable segment of the DC housing market, and Emerald St NE offers a well-located example with genuine architectural provenance.
