A Century-Old Petworth Home with Rare Scale and Three-Car Garage

The home at 1406 Ingraham Street NW is one of the larger single-family residences in Petworth, offering 3,820 square feet of interior space in a neighborhood where that kind of square footage is genuinely uncommon. Built in 1924, it carries the structural character and proportions of early-twentieth-century DC residential construction.

Four full baths across four bedrooms give the home a configuration that supports a range of living arrangements without compromise. The layout’s depth and scale set it apart from the more modest footprints that define much of the surrounding block fabric.

Three garage spaces represent one of the most practical differentiators for a home in this part of NW Washington. Parking at this scale is rarely available in Petworth, and its presence here adds meaningful day-to-day utility.

Ingraham Street sits within comfortable reach of Georgia Avenue’s commercial corridor and the transit connections along that spine. The neighborhood’s walkable grid and proximity to Rock Creek Park’s eastern edge make this a well-positioned address in upper NW.

Rare Petworth Scale
At 3,820 square feet, this Petworth home occupies a category of its own within the neighborhood. Single-family homes of this size are uncommon in upper NW, and the 1924 construction date means the proportions reflect an era of generous room dimensions and solid craftsmanship that is difficult to replicate in newer builds.
Four Beds Four Baths
Four bedrooms and four full baths provide a configuration that accommodates a wide range of living needs without requiring compromise. The full-bath count in particular — matching the bedroom count — is a specification that distinguishes this home from the majority of comparably priced properties in the submarket.
Three-Car Garage
Three garage spaces are among the most sought-after features in any NW Washington property, and they are especially notable in Petworth, where off-street parking is typically limited to one or two spaces. This home’s parking capacity adds tangible, lasting value for anyone who prioritizes it.
Petworth Connectivity
Ingraham Street NW sits within Petworth’s walkable residential grid, with Georgia Avenue’s shops, restaurants, and transit options accessible without a car. The nearby Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines connects residents to downtown DC and beyond, making this address as practical as it is well-situated.

Property Location

About 1406 Ingraham St NW

The home at 1406 Ingraham Street NW was built in 1924 and spans 3,820 square feet across four bedrooms and four full baths. Its scale places it among the larger single-family homes in Petworth, a neighborhood where the typical residential footprint runs considerably smaller. Three garage spaces — an exceptional provision for this part of NW Washington — complete the property’s core offering.

Petworth is one of upper NW’s most established residential neighborhoods, defined by its tree-lined streets, early-twentieth-century housing stock, and a Georgia Avenue corridor that supports everyday commerce and dining. Ingraham Street sits in the interior of the neighborhood, away from the avenue’s activity but within easy reach of it. Rock Creek Park’s eastern boundary is accessible from this part of the grid, providing green space at a neighborhood scale.

The Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro station, served by the Green and Yellow lines, connects this address to downtown DC, the U Street corridor, and points south and north without requiring a car. Georgia Avenue itself supports a range of local cafes, restaurants, and neighborhood grocers that handle daily errands efficiently. The combination of transit access, walkable retail, and three-car garage parking gives this home a practical profile that is difficult to assemble in a single NW address.

A Wardman team member and the Wardman Residential team at Compass have worked extensively with buyers and sellers across Petworth and the broader upper NW submarket, with particular experience in the single-family home segment along the Georgia Avenue corridor. We understand the dynamics of this market — the scarcity of larger footprints, the premium on off-street parking, and the way 1920s construction compares to more recent inventory in buyer negotiations. If you are considering a single-family home in Petworth or a comparable NW neighborhood, reach out — we would be glad to share recent comparables and our perspective on current conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

Petworth’s single-family housing stock skews toward more modest footprints, typically in the 1,800-to-2,600-square-foot range for comparable row houses and detached homes. At 3,820 square feet, this home occupies the upper tier of the neighborhood’s size distribution, offering interior space that is genuinely uncommon for the submarket.
Yes, meaningfully so. Off-street parking in Petworth is typically limited to one or two spaces, and three-car garage parking is rare at any price point in upper NW. For buyers who prioritize parking capacity — whether for vehicles, storage, or workshop use — this specification is a significant differentiator.
The Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro station, served by the Green and Yellow lines, is the closest station to this address. It provides direct service to Columbia Heights, U Street, Shaw, and downtown DC, as well as connections north toward Fort Totten and beyond.
Homes built in the 1920s in DC typically feature larger room dimensions, higher ceilings, and more substantial structural materials than mid-century or contemporary construction. The 1924 build date at this address reflects that era’s residential scale and craftsmanship, which many buyers find difficult to replicate in newer inventory.
This is a single-family home with no HOA or condo association. There are no monthly fees, no shared amenity assessments, and no governing board restrictions beyond standard DC municipal regulations. The property operates entirely as a freestanding, independently owned home.
Ingraham Street sits within Petworth’s walkable residential grid, with Georgia Avenue’s commercial corridor — including grocery options, pharmacies, cafes, and restaurants — accessible on foot. The neighborhood’s street layout also connects to Rock Creek Park’s eastern edge and to Metrobus routes along Georgia Avenue.
At $1,095,000 with 3,820 square feet, four full baths, and three garage spaces, this home offers a price-per-square-foot that is competitive within the upper NW single-family segment. Comparable homes in Petworth, Brightwood, and Takoma at similar price points rarely combine this level of interior space with garage parking of this scale.
A Wardman team member can provide recent comparable sales in Petworth and adjacent upper NW neighborhoods, offer context on how this home’s specifications compare to active and off-market inventory, and guide you through the buyer advisory process. Reaching out directly is the most efficient way to get a current, data-grounded perspective on this address and the submarket.
